Sounds like this is just the external dimensions? That's mostly just useful for creating accessories. That's not too special, Apple does this too. https://developer.apple.com/accessories/dimensional-drawings...

Those PDFs are useless.

If you want a purple Steam Controller, you can load Valve's STL into your favorite slicer, 3D print a new shell, transplant the electronics, and you're done.

If you want a purple MacBook, could you do the same with those Apple PDFs?

No, you can't, because it doesn't include any internal topology.

> This repository contains CAD files for the external shell (surface topology) of Steam Controller and the Steam Controller Puck

If somebody wants to reverse engineer it all they have to do is buy one.

Then Apple's lawyers come for your liver.

Edit: spolling, I have a fever.
