I recently started playing Dyson sphere program on my PC again and I get that lovely feeling of being drawn into the game for hours. But since it's a very mouse-centric game, I don't want to play it on a steam deck. And because I sit at a desk all day for work, I'd rather lay down on the couch and use my deck instead.

Are there any games like DSP that work well with a controller? I find that if I use the trackpad too much, my right wrist starts to hurt.

I think the Factorio devs are working on steam deck support.

Latest update just added controller support!

They actually released it recently, there are controller bindings in the settings and you can play with a controller

I've played Factorio with the Steam controller some 3 years ago. It worked just fine, so I imagine the steam deck will too.

The controller support is likely targeted more towards playstation/Xbox controllers, or perhaps for a smoother experience if you dislike touch-as-mouse.

fair enough, still worth mentioning that factorio itself supports controllers now 👍
