I really enjoy streaming games to my Frame, but I’m not big on using the controllers for flat games. The Steam Controller + Steam Frame combo is excellent though
Huh. My hope for the Frame was that the controllers are decent. I’ve been wanting good controllers where the hands are separate since the Wii introduced the concept to me. I’ve never gamed more comfortably.
I should know by tomorrow, if the shipping estimate was accurate.
That’s definitely my plan for flat games when I get home from the trip I’m on.

The back/underside paddle buttons on the Steam Controller are way better than they are on the Steam Deck in ways that are tough to describe, so I’ve found myself using them a lot. Being able to essentially squeeze to activate my jetpack or reload my gun, depending on which hand, really made it easier for me to get around and engage in combat in Satisfactory.
I think it’s because the “handles” on the controller are quite a bit meatier than the side handles of the Deck. My second and ring finger seem to slot perfectly onto them.

And the bumpers are so much better too. Wish I could mod my deck with controller bumpers…
