Just wanna say that I’m loving the steam deck so far overall, but wow I just started playing rogue legacy and I realized the dpad is basically unusable for me.

I personally love modern and retro platformers and not having a decent d-pad is very disappointing. For now I’m just using an xbox controller instead, but I would love to see this improved with the next iteration of the deck.

Just wanted to get peoples thoughts on this topic!

I don't mind it, but I've never been super particular about my d-pads.

I have occasionally had it misreport a down input as right or down-right, but I very much suspect that's not an actual hardware misreport and is just due to the position of the d-pad relative to my grip. Since my thumb is angling up to the pad from down-right, it's much more likely that I might have just rolled a little closer to inputting right than I intended to.
