Turn Off Steam Controller

[Jolly Devil]

To anyone who's used the controller, how do you turn it off. There's has to be a way to do it, right?

Don't touch it for 15 minutes.

I found if you hold the steam button down it will turn it off

Yeah, I see that it eventually turned off. I'll try holding it down next time, maybe that'll work. Thanks.

There are three ways to power down the Steam Controller:

Hold the Steam Controller's "Steam Button" Down for about 5 seconds
->If you're not already in the Big Picture mode, this has the downside of launching Big Picture Mode at the same time the controller shuts down. I would quantify this as a bug which needs to be addressed.

Big Picture Mode Power Menu
-> While the controller is on and in use by your PC, clicking the Big Picture Mode's Power Menu Button will list a 'Turn Off Controller' option.

Idle Timer
-> Leaving the controller alone for a length of time will cause the controller to turn off. The default setting is 15 minutes. This is configurable in the Big Picture Mode's Settings -> Controller menu, with 15 minutes being the minimum setting and 120 minutes being the maximum setting, with an additional option to have the controller never time out as well.
