Steam Input & double touchpad is also an insane feature. Right now my main game is Dofus : a turn based tactical MMORP. This game is probably one of the most keyboard+mouse I could have thought of, however it has A LOT of keyboard shortcut. I maybe spent one hour fine tuning my layout and now it feels almost better playing it in console mode.
Turning a PC game into a console game like this almost feels like magic, I really love this big boy and really hope it will have successors in the distant future.
And also this game is not even on steam, the global openness of Valve letting me do whatever the f**k I want with my device is very welcome.
@Bogasse@thorbot how did you fine tune it? It’s so hard mapping PC inputs to the steam deck.
The UI can be a bit tedious but it is intuitive, with a bit of training and exploration you should be able build anything you have in mind. Enhancing community layout can also help, for example I usually map back buttons to joystick buttons because it would hurt my thumbs.
If you want a fun thing to start exploring, I'd suggest touch and radial menus. They are a pretty unique feature and it's pretty easy to make them useful on games with keyboard shortcuts mapped to some settings.
