    Why not? Because if fucking stupid. It would take you longer to set this bullshit up than it would to just set it on the puck.

      This was clearly a project someone did for fun, it’s not meant to be practical or actually useful. Everyone else understands this and is making jokes about it, and you’re lashing out at people acting like the joke responses were people being serious.

      It should be obvious that it’s not actually very helpful to have a controller that can charge itself, if placed within a few feet of a charger, on a perfectly flat surface, under a webcam, with a running computer and webapp managing the whole thing. It also wasn’t useful to make a program to “drive” the controller with wasd. It also wasn’t useful to make a program to sing chiptunes with the vibration motors. It wasn’t even useful for valve to make the controller scream when dropped. It’s just funny, and people are enjoying it.
