No trackpads.

Out of consideration.

Yeah, this is the number one thing that keeps me from even considering the deck competitors.

I literally never use mine. It's a massive pain to set them up just right and I'm never happy with the results or the unintuitive settings options.

If you ever boot into desktop mode they’re essential (at least in my use case). Using thumb sticks for a mouse is so painful.

I use a mouse for a mouse broski. Also touchscreen.

So you bring an external mouse with your steamdeck? If that works for ya, more power to you.

Sometimes I need to pop quickly into the desktop so for my use case, bringing an external mouse would definitely inconvenience me. That’s when the trackpads come in handy.
