Steam Deck's controls are worse. If you're using the d-pad or face buttons, you have to hold your thumbs nearly parallel to your palms. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There's people who like smaller phones.. and there's people who like big phones... This is no different. But the fact that you guys are sitting here saying one is butt ugly and the other is sleek... just makes me laugh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Drift and the lack of a dedicated d-pad out-of-the-box aren't, and the size of the buttons is reaching given the SD's buttons are only 1 or 2mm larger in diameter. And with PC nerds little T-Rex arms, they aren't going to be hold it up for more than 15 minutes given its weight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Because they want to KEEP their gimmick track pad idea alive. They released this: And nobody gave a shit about its main gimmick. The only people still using it are currently playing Heroes of Might & Magic 7. So now they've compromised the REAL CONTROLS of their $400 device in order to keep a gimmick control system alive that nobody cared about the first time around.
