- Comment on The impossible Steam Deck update just dropped. 1 week ago:
Add support for the Proteus Byowave controller
That sure looks interesting, but I cannot imagine that being worth the €300 for anyone. I would expect that even someone who really needs a far-from-standard controller for accessibility reasons could find a better (albeit less reconfigurable) option to suit their needs.

I cannot imagine there are nearly that many individuals with an Internet Archive account. Is there any reason that an average user would need to create an account in the first place? And would someone need to create multiple?
