Absurdly massive and yet no space for some touchpads? ๐Ÿคก

[โ€“] TheRedSpade 17 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

Yeah, how is it that none of these so-called "rivals" have even a single touchpad? I personally wouldn't even consider a device that forces me to use a thumbstick as a mouse.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago

I've never used the touchpads on mine outside of desktop mode. The vast majority of games have controller support.

"I appreciate covering my screen in fingerprints, obviously. But what really makes me happy is trying dozens of times to get my fat thumb to register on an interface designed for a mouse."

  • a quote by someone making hardware decisions at SteamDeck rival manufacturers, apparently.

Lmfao. I didn't even notice that. Damn. They didn't even put the joystick next to the buttons on the right side like the steam deck for better ergonomic, they STILL put it under the buttons.
