PSA: The Steam Controller’s magnetic charger can be a fire hazard

The Steam Controller's magnetic charging puck poses a fire hazard when exposed metal objects come into contact with its unprotected contacts, as demonstrated by a Reddit user whose metallic watch strap caused the charger to short circuit. Valve has included warnings in the Steam Controller manual about keeping the device free of metallic objects to prevent sparks and potential fire risks. The issue highlights a design vulnerability despite the convenience of the magnetic charging system.
