Been PC gaming on the couch for years now, either using a controller, trackball and 75% keyboard or a steam controller. Mouse pads are for work only as far as I'm concerned.

You people use the backbuttons?

[–] glitchdx@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I've been begging for such buttons since fucking 2009, and everyone laughed at me for wanting customizable controls.

Look who's laughing now. (it's me, with my mouse and keyboard and lack of friends and I never need to touch a controller again!)

Steam Input is amazing, and something that I feel doesn't get nearly as much credit as it deserves. You can literally make anything do anything. You can even create on-screen rotary menus and shit.

I can stream my PS5 to my Steam Deck, and use the gyro to aim in an first person game. Like, really fucking easily. I set it up so if I'm playing Chiaki4Deck and press one of the back buttons, it swaps between gyro on and gyro off.

I saw a comment on Lemmy a while back where someone said they hated steam input and I just didn't understand what possible issue anyone could ever have with it.

On most games yes, a typical example is I bind them to the thumbstck buttons, because using them wares down the thumsticks faster

Disgusting. I have never and will never use my phone or a gaming console in the bathroom. I go to the bathroom, and then fucking leave. I'll never understand sitting there forever.

I envy your guts. I wish mine were as good as yours.

I take it you don't have kids.

Taking 10 or 15 minutes to "shit" is a much needed break. Especially when there's another parent home (or the kids are old enough) and you can shut the door.

Then there's the old "boss makes a dollar I make a dime" adage...
