Comment on Valve If You Are Listening Here Are More Accessories That Would Be Awesome!!

The SteamDeck also has a touchscreen.

The Steam Deck has touchpads because many games are optimized for keyboard and mouse, not touchscreens. Phone games are not.

Not saying you’re wrong, just that there’s not a lot of value to be added there, in my opinion.

especially if you take streaming into account

I suppose that’s a fair point.

The other consideration is that if you need those things, you can just connect a Steam Controller, and get one of those cheap phone mounts to attach to it. No need for a new product.

I’d assume they want it for Steam remote play

    Was it? I might be missing something but I dont know which part addressed that. You mentioned getting a steam controller and a mount if they need those features, but not any mention of remote play being why they’d need them.

I’d also agree that there isn’t a lot of value to the product, I know I wouldn’t buy one. I mainly just wanted to point out that there is definitely room for innovation and such in the space, and a phone controller that’s as nice as the SteamDeck controls doesn’t exist.
