They washed a Steam Deck too hot. :P

But the Steam Deck is a really really good controller. The only thing I'm worried about is hitting the touchpads accidentally.

I have no idea how it would be any better than a standard gamepad. I have the old steam controller, and that one sucked ass to use.

Nah just because I'm 90% keyboard and mouse, maybe we need a Steam Board & Mouse combo.

On the Steam Deck, the touchpads are actually game changers for using PC-oriented UIs in videogames, using desktop mode and typing on a virtual keyboard. The touchpads are also analogue buttons, which comes in handy for emulation of certain consoles, if you don't want to use an OG PS3 controller.

The DualSense's touchpad is nice for mouse control, but is unergonomically placed for any serious use. Also, as for the other mainstream controllers, only the more expensive Edge/Elite versions (and some third-party controllers) offer back paddles.

With SteamInput, you can set stuff like macros, button combos/chords, layer shifts and even extra menus on these grip buttons, which multiply the functionality of face buttons or automate certain things in games. For example, I use the grip button in OG San Andreas to not have to button-mash for running and also use it extensively in simulators like ETS2 to cramp all the functionalities in a controller format.

Depending on the developer, there might even be special official layouts including extra functionalities for those grip buttons.

Nah, kb/mouse superiority.

All I'm saying is that the negev was the only usable gun in CSGO with that controller. Mf had tilt controls when you touched it!

The controller definitely seems interesting.

It actually looks promising but I am worried about the comfort and ergonomic.

Why? It actually uses a normal layout instead of the xbox abomination. It doesn't get more ergonomic than that.

Thumb trackpads and gyro are admittedly better than analog sticks, but still inferior to (inverted) mouse and keyboard for fast, precision games.

I'd use one for stuff like Minecraft and Subnautica, but certainly not for Crysis or Doom PB.

it is a must-buy for me, actually. the track pads and back buttons on the steam deck are amazing... and have had the result that i don't want to play with any other controllers anymore because i've become too reliant on those features.

with trackpad aiming i have been able to easily compete against Keyboard&Mouse players in Free Aim lobbies on GTA Online. it's been amazing.

I'd take one.

If you want a practical controller with the Steam logo on it, check out the one by Hori. I thought that was a follow-up to the first controller all this time lol.

Its ♥♥♥♥, like really bad its the reason why I still have the first Steam controller and why I will buy the second one before this one dies.

It has some nice features like high quality sticks and back buttons, but the stick placement is rough. I'm not sure I'd want that over the xbox controller design. Where stick is above and d-pad below.

Also D-pad quality is a question.

Nah, kb/mouse superiority.

There's nothing superior about KB/mouse when playing games like Devil May Cry.

The real PC nerd knows that KB + Mouse is not the strength of the PC platform, but the ability to select best tool for the job whether it's a wheel, HOTAS, KB + Mouse, Arcade Stick or a controller and having variety of manufacturers to choose from.
