I don’t want the OLED version. But I do want the limited edition OLED version. Please bring it to the UK!

Just try different options till you find one you like. I find it much more accurate than a joystick.

It’s the steam controller

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve’s next mystery gadget may be imminent⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
The steam controller is fucking fantastic. No other controller lets you play mouse based games the same way. With its trackpads and gyro aiming you can be way more accurate than a normal controller. If you’re using it expecting it to be just a variety of a traditional console controller, you’re in for a bad time.

The steam controller is more personal, you can remap any button to be anything, and any modifier to enable on any button press. (Like turn on gyro aim when you hold R2) there’s a ton of aiming options, you can use the trackpads to create circular menus for weapon or skill selections… the possibilities are endless.

But instead people just bought it, and thought ‘this not as comfy as xbox, why only one joystick, why no dpad’ and put it down again.

People had the chance for better but it meant learning something new.

Yeah I pretty much completed factorio on the steamdeck, with some pc play over cloud sync. Had a really good experience. The right touchpad is just a mouse, and you can bind any button to any key!

I started off using one of the most popular steamdeck community layouts, and then customised it to make my own (drekly’s layout should be on there somewhere!)

Furthermore, I logged in recently to see there is new controller settings, so I think they may have patched the switch style controller options over to the pc version, with specific steamdeck controls. I’m so far in I’ve stuck with my mouse+kB layout though!
