Ya know people make a deal outta the B button falling off the edge, but modern XBox controllers have the same thing with the B button being slightly different from the others too and no one mentions how that's weird.

Playing video games is for the weak, the real connoisseur understands the thrill of spending hours fine tuning settings and mods and then playing for like thirty minutes tops.  It's a PC with controller parts and I'm going to use it as such. Weirdo PC indie games, deep crunchy strategy games, whatever PC work I gotta do when out and about, going to own. Wonder what modded Skyrim will be like Feels Villeneuve posted:me: what if i could use the face buttons I haven't used a Deck yet, and neither have you. Unless there's a bunch of people out there that have used the Deck bitching about ergonomics then I think you're probably just projecting. Or maybe you've cracked the case on the failure of the Deck, we'll find out!

Remapping to the rear gives simultaneous access to the all face button functions, the stick and left bumper and trigger. Claw grip sucks, it requires holding the controller in a way it wasn't meant to be held, which is made worse when the controller is actually a portable game system.

It feels like there are a shocking amount of people buying this product they don’t really know anything about. I’m not talking about waiting for reviews, I mean what it actually looks like and has been advertised to do.

I’m not talking about waiting for reviews, I mean what it actually looks like and has been advertised to do. There hasn't really been anything else like it. Closest is GPD Win and it's followups and derivatives, but those used off the shelf hardware, software and are iffy quality at best. SteamOS is exciting, but I foresee a rough launch. Thinking Switch and PS3 emulation are going to run well is extremely optimistic. For new AAA titles at medium-low at 30fps, should be great.

I claw grip constantly and pretty much any game that uses both sticks also requires you to press the face buttons a lot but, the touchpads are the most valuable part of the Steam Deck and the buttons are the only possible place they could be on the thing.

Tamba posted:It is. But it was also the only viable way to play Monster Hunter on the PSP I never played it on PSP, though I had one. Current MH lets you use either the d-pad to scroll through your items, losing control of the left joystick and your hunter and running the risk of being flattened, or using left bumper with the face buttons to scroll through your items, letting you keep moving the hunter. I'll map that to the under buttons and have easy item and ammo scrolling ... if MH runs well on the Deck that is.

It's a pity the Deck's touchpads seem to have lost the Steam Controllers 4 clickable buttons each. They each seem to be a single button though, so all is not lost. But 4 buttons each would have meant there's no need to use the face buttons or d-pad.

The fact that so many people assume you can just throw Windows on it and it'll play better + the recent "I can emulate Switch games on this" derail has me anticipating a massive backlash as units roll in, tbh.
