Does the computer have to be powered on in order for the puck to charge the controller?

Some computers have special USB ports that stay powered even when the computer itself is off. Guess you'll have to see if yours has one or if it's an option you can turn on in the BIOS or something.

Could put the puck into any USBC charger brick too, likely.
