The Steam Deck has finally been surpassed — by a fork of Valve’s own experience - Bazzite turns the Asus ROG Ally X into today’s best handheld while putting Windows to shame. (www.theverge.com)

Mouse heavy games, e.g. Sterallis, you simply move the cursor with the touchpad and click with RT or LT and it works wonderfully

I don't understand the RT/LT for mouse buttons. Such a long movement to get to a click just feels unnatural to me. When the track pad has a press to click why not use that instead? At least for the primary button.

You can set the actuation to require the slightest of pulls to engage a click. It's all fully customizable.

Pressing on the trackpad for click often moves your finger, which moves the cursor during the click. It can get annoying.

You can do that as well, I use that sometimes, but when you press down your finger will move slightly and you might end up clicking somewhere different from where you intended.

That works too but for me it's mentally simpler to pull another finger than having to press with the same one i use to move over the touchpad.
