  It’s surprisingly easy and comfortable. Steam controller was a revolution on this regard, at least for me. It sounds wrong but feels just right.

    I have the same question as thread starter. Do you move cursor with a joystick or use something else to select units, waypoints, etc.? I am a keyboard-mouse person and find using keyboard much more convenient than gamepad even in games that have gamepad as recommended input (like Castle Crashers and some platformers).

    Used to successfully play shooters with keyboard only before mouse era (the last I remember vividly is Project IGI). But now I’m terrified at the thought of playing shooter or RTS without mouse.

    Also curious how (if) people play DotA2 with controller.

      Right touchpad for mouse, triggers for left and right click. Then just bind other things as they become annoying.

        Pretty much the default for Steam Deck keyboard+mouse.

        Works surprisingly well, just bind some keyboard shortcuts to the various other buttons and such.

        Downside is that my right track pad is polished a little smooth in the middle. I blame the Master of Magic remake.

      Personally I map the game pad keys to keyboard keys and have some under chords, I.e press one button and all other buttons behave differently, so it’s basically just like using only keyboard and not mouse, but also having the convenience of a mouse for the rare situation where there isn’t a keyboard shortcut bound

  Track pads, and the trigger buttons are LMB/RMB. I’ve set those controls up on my Deck for Civ6 and it’s honestly very comfy to sit on the couch playing civ on the deck.

    and keyboard commands can easily be mapped on either back buttons or onto a virtual menu on the other trackpad - with mode shifts you can define a huge amount of keys which are easily accessible

  Rts are actually pretty fun on the deck believe it or not.
