Think of all the weird minigames that were only ever released on mobile; its Flash Games all over again! This is huge for emulation!

It’s my favorite controller for Steam, yeah! I have gyro aiming set up in minecraft; right trigger half pull enables gyro-to-mouse, and left touchpad pulls up a bunch of menu hotkeys.

If you want a budget controller with lots of features, go on ebay and get a used Dualshock 4 (PS4 controller). It’s got a touchpad and gyro so you can do some interesting stuff with it.

Please tell me the “Triple I Initiative” involves Solanum (Outer Wilds)

right pad for mouse, left pad for hotkeys, all the way. Great for games that use the entire left half of the keyboard.

I’m in the same boat. I’ve looked around and there really isn’t anything. You could buy some third-party joy-cons but you’ll have the same issues.

Workaround for now is to make sure you have line of sight between the joy-con and the steam deck. Their reception is fine when unobstructed.
