Comment on Do you still use your Steam Deck much?

Got the original not long after launch. Upgraded to OLED right around when it launched. I have some times when I don’t play it, but not often. Recently I have even been playing some RTS games since I got the controls working fairly effectively.
Many games I used to play on my Playstation I am now instead playing them natively on Deck. It’s comfortable. I love handhelds.

I really wish they’d release a steam controller 2, now that they’ve learned a bit more, and now that people are embracing the control scheme.

I hope too! I think they did not figure out how to make the controller not too big with the two touch pads, without sacrificing the other important elements. That was one of the deal breaker for the original Steam Controller, alongside the not that much optimal ergonomics in the hand. If Valve can pull off a Steam Controller 2 that is inline with the Steam Deck and is capable of replacing my Xbox controllers, then I would happily pay full price at launch (after reviews off course). It could be the ultimate game controller.

I’m in the minority that thought the original Xbox controller and original stream controller are sized perfectly 😄

I like the ergonomics of the Xbox controller a lot (not the original ;-) ), but it would be nice to get rid of the proprietary driver and Microsoft wireless adapter on my Linux PC. Plus it’s missing motion sensors, which could be used in Switch emulation or for some cool custom control schemes for Steam games.
