They all work great! Favtorio is the hardest one to wrap your head around but controller support is very good if you want it.
I even play a ton of Dwarf Fortress on it all the time with zero control issues.

I’ve been tough with the idea of getting one of these but I like strategy games like HOI4, factorio, rimworld. Anyone have any experience with them on the Deck?

I played a ton of EU4 and it did just fine, didn’t hit 60fps but really don’t need that kind of performance on a map game. back buttons for hotkeys/zooming in/out. Left trackpad set up as a touch to swap between different map types. Can always dock to a monitor with mouse/keyboard or just pair a bluetooth mouse. :)
Thanks for the insight!

Yeah I pretty much completed factorio on the steamdeck, with some pc play over cloud sync. Had a really good experience. The right touchpad is just a mouse, and you can bind any button to any key!
I started off using one of the most popular steamdeck community layouts, and then customised it to make my own (drekly’s layout should be on there somewhere!)
Furthermore, I logged in recently to see there is new controller settings, so I think they may have patched the switch style controller options over to the pc version, with specific steamdeck controls. I’m so far in I’ve stuck with my mouse+kB layout though!

TIL factorio is on the switch
