  Yes! I want to play Factorio in docked mode but I need trackpads and back buttons for it

  Yeah seriously. I have an original steam controller, but I want something that has the full layout of a standard controller plus track pads/back buttons/gyro.

    You know the original Steam controller has gyro input?

      I did know that. I usually use the “gyro + flickstick” combination for fps games on the deck though, so the lack of a right thumbstick on the original steam controller means I still can’t use my preferred gyro control scheme.

      My biggest frustration with the original steam controller thought is that I can’t get the BLE firmware update to work properly. I can use it with the original firmware, but trying to install valve’s BLE update (so that the controller can wake the steam deck from sleep) results in a non-functional controller until I downgrade.

        That’s very odd. Have you factory reset the controller then done the upgrade?

  I blanked out on that question, but I knew I should write something so I said “Guitar hero controller”

    For what it’s worth, I was able to remotely walk my brother through getting Clone Hero working on his Deck with a used GH controller from Ebay having never done it myself. It’s not too difficult!

      Exactly why I said it, it was my most recent experience. I bought a used Wii guitar and changed the insides using a kit from Etsy.

        am i crazy or were the wii guitars like, uncharacteristically good? they’re the only ones i had growing up, and then i bought a ps2 guitar for clone hero recently and it’s TRASH in comparison!
