The steam button starts flashing to indicate low battery levels nowadays.

Honestly i haven't noticed that... Mine just died yesterday and i didn't see the flashing.
Even if it did flash - most people don't look at their controllers, they look a the game so that feature is nearly useless.

It uses AA's though so just pop another pair in and GG, it's not like you need to charge it or whatever.

Oh it flashes allright http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=901672830 I just reinstalled the old batteries and recorded a video , just to prove you are wrong in telling me that the steam controller steam button doesn't and shouldn't flash with regard tt indicating low battery levels.

I can not find the announcement/changelog where Valve tell steam controller users the new expected behaviour.

One thing is for sure though, and that is the steam button flashes to indicate low battery levels , at least for me it does.

What the hell is your problem lol? Why the "prove you wrong"" attitude?
Quote me on where i told you that it definetely doesn't flash, and that i called you a liar for saying that? I just said i haven't noticed it.

I mean, great, it does flash. I still don't look at my controller when i play games.

the flashing is very dim and very short....I rarely notice it either....the xbox 360 was much less subtle in letting you know that the battery was dying (the green ring would flash very brightly in a circle). The steam logo doesn't "flash", it just dims in and out quite slowly. Hard to notice if you are playing something 'intensive'.

OK its back!

The battery indicator is NOW showing intermittently it suddenly showed up yesterday displaying 20ish% charge and then fanished again a few hours later only to show up again today displaying slightly less charge.

So I'm guessing it only displays when battery levels drop below a certain level.
