Got really excited for a Steam Controller like controller... Missing the track pads? Can barely be considered a "Steam Deck" like controller without them... This is no different from an Xbox controller minus a few buttons. Hell id rather use a PS controller since they have a trackpad!
Yeah, it definitely needs trackpads that are easy to reach in order to be a Steam Deck controller. (And I'm saying "easy to each" because the awkwardly placed Playstation touchpad doesn't count.)
I'm curious about this part, though:
That sounds like an advantage over a Playstation or Switch controller. I'm guessing that means you could enable the gyro just by touching the analog stick, without having to press a button. That's like what most people did on the Steam controller, where the gyro would enable when you touched the trackpad.
I love gyro, need more controllers using them
It's pretty much a standard feature at this point. Unless you're an Xbox player.
That's the one I'm stuck with
