- Comment on Got my Steam Controller today 2 weeks ago:
Mine showed up as well. I wasn’t expecting it so soon since the count had already gone past the first delivery dates when I got my order in (about an hour after opening). Enjoying it so far, spent some time setting up the trackpad and gyro and experimenting in Marvel Rivals. I’ve actually been enjoying the trackpads a lot more on this controller than I did on the Steam Deck. They’re a bit more comfortably positioned and touchpad input works better on a 240Hz display than on a 60Hz one. I got a profile set up that has been working pretty well for me now and played a bunch of games today to experiment with controls and see if I could do anywhere as well as keyboard and mouse. I’m quite happy with the touchpads, though I don’t think it’s quite as accurate as KB+M but it’s way closer than a normal gamepad.

This is a great feature, I will definitely be using it to keep all my PCs up to date on downloads.

Absolutely, we need more Linux phone options.
- Comment on Experimental code ready for testing to enable HDMI 2.1 FRL with AMDGPU on Linux 2 months ago:
I always wondered why nobody just said “screw HDMI, this is open source and nobody can stop us” and did it anyways. I guess now my question is answered. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Hopefully there’s a path to getting this merged, otherwise I hope distros are willing to ship a modified kernel or DKMS patcher for it. A large chunk of Linux drivers are based on reverse engineering, why not HDMI 2.1 support.
- Comment on HORI Steam Controller releases in the USA in December 1 year ago:
What is special about this controller? It looks like a basic layout, no haptics, nothing that compares it to the actual Steam Controller or Steam Deck other than the Steam logo. Why would I want this over an Xbox, DualSense, or Switch Pro controller?
