====== Pair steam controller ======
To (re)pair the Steam Controller (2015) you have to open Steam app, go to *Settings>Controller>Add new controller*, then to pair it with dongle, hold **X** then press **Steam** button. You might also need to switch to Dongle mode first by holding **A** then pressing **Steam** button.

To pair it via bluetooth hold **B** press the **Steam** button.

Pairing on Raspberry Pi (tried 4b+) didn't work even though `steam-devices` package was installed.
