![]() It does make an amazing remote mouse for watching shows and stuff from my computer while not sitting at it, but that certainly doesn't drive sales. That leaves racing games, and surfing the web. But without a d-pad it ruins it for most fighting games, joystick FPS are kind of shit without a second joystick as there is no more muscle memory to rely on, and it lacks the speed needed for any serious RTS games. With only one missing, I would have recommended it more, but with both missing, it only works great for a certain sub selection of games, and while most of the rest are playable, they aren't a great experience with it.įor the games I used it with, it was great, probably the best Dark Souls controller I ever used by turning the right track pad into a simulated trackball. I think it was a combination of a lack of both a proper d-pad or right joystick. The steamdeck in comparison sort of exists in its own niche and is a complete product. Which is a death blow for a product that can’t exist by itself and has competition (even if it does more). A lot depended on either putting in the time to map it out or hoping the community had something. If you did buy one, it was really hit and miss how well it worked for your games. The touch controls mapped poorly to many games. I personally thought it was one of the worst controllers I’ve owned and I have very large hands.Ĥ. It was too big for many people, and too cumbersome for others. ![]() So you already needed to be aware of it to want it, and then be willing to wait for delivery. You couldn’t just find it in any retail store. Unless you already researched it, there was no surface reason to own one for many people.Ģ. So it was competing for mindshare from people who either were using keyboard+mouse, or could also buy a console controller and connect it up. It’s an accessory that was an extra purchase when many alternatives existed. (The fact that it also doesn't heat my office up to 85 degrees like my PC is a bonus as well.)ġ. suddenly all those little 20 minute chunks of dead time where I'd be doom-scrolling the internet can turn into gaming time.Įven when I _am_ sitting at my desk, I often just dock my Steam Deck and play with a controller on my monitor instead of firing up the game on my PC because it's so convenient. When I can just tap the power button and get dropped back in the game where I left it, and when the next distraction comes up just tap it again (in a menu, in a cutscene, anywhere) and put it back down. there's a certain minimum commitment of time involved. When playing a game involves closing out some other stuff, starting up steam, starting up the game, waiting for it to load, loading my save, waiting for it to load, playing for a bit, saving, exiting to the menu, exiting the game, etc. Yep, this has been the killer feature for me too. The quick pick up and immediate suspend are the killer features for me. ![]()
