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 got used to the analog stick for direction, even for retro games.

To the point that I only use the d-pad as 4 buttons (like most modern games use it) or sometimes to navigate in menus.
