Hey everyone! What’s your preferred input method for fps games on the deck? I find myself going back and forth between flick stick and trackpad. For me trackpad feels more natural but flick stick feels more worth the time investment? If I spend time with flick stick on the deck then I could also use it when streaming moonlight to my tv or at my pc.

Which do you guys prefer?

Coming from keyboard and mouse, for me the trackpad is essential. I can't get used to the stick, but the trackpads always seemed natural.

That's the main reason why I won't ever consider a device like the ally without trackpads.
