How do i charge the Steam Controller?

[Gungnir]

Is it like battery only thing or can i put in a cord and play while it's charging? Or is there something like a charging station where i can put my controller at night so it can charge?

Yes, you can play with just the cable. It doesn't charge when the cables in, you have to change the batteries.

So batteries only?

Let's make it simple. Steam Controller does not have charging function. Period

No. You can use either batteries for wireless controller OR use usb cable without any batteries in controller at all.

What they said. :P It does work with just the cable. And if you want to get complicated,, then you can get rechargeable batteries and battery charger. Of the AA variety, it still doesn't have a 'charge'/inbuilt battery.

Nothing complicated about that!

But at least the answer too "How do i charge the Steam Controller?" has now been clarified. :-)

You need to use rechargeable batteries and a standalone battery charger.
