    “I appreciate covering my screen in fingerprints, obviously. But what really makes me happy is trying dozens of times to get my fat thumb to register on an interface designed for a mouse.”

    Someone making hardware decisions at SteamDeck rival manufacturers, apparently.

  Gotta be honest, i hardly ever use them on the Deck.

    If I don’t have it docked I use the right one for anything first-person. I hate aiming with a thumbstick, so it gets used as a mouse. The left one usually gets used as a hotbar.

  The Legion Go has a touchpad. I think even the newer one that’s been announced has an (albeit much smaller) touchpad.

  I’ve never used the touchpads on mine outside of desktop mode. The vast majority of games have controller support.

    It depends what you play. Strategy games benefit from the touchpads as mice.

    Also I sometimes use the touchpads for touch menus.

      Yes it does, but as I said, the games that necessitate trackpads are a super minority. That’s why they’re not included in most devices. They take up a lot of space. The Steam Deck is significantly wider than most of it’s competitors.

  I’d even settle for a Lenovo-style nipple for mouse control.
