I was wondering how much you are using your Steam Deck? And did the games you play on it change since you bought it?

I find that I used it a lot when I first got it, but my usage has gone down in the mean time. That’s mostly because I play games that are not a great fit for the Steam Deck (strategy, building, etc.) and I prefer to play those on my PC.

    I really wish they’d release a steam controller 2, now that they’ve learned a bit more, and now that people are embracing the control scheme.

      I hope too! I think they did not figure out how to make the controller not too big with the two touch pads, without sacrificing the other important elements. That was one of the deal breaker for the original Steam Controller, alongside the not that much optimal ergonomics in the hand. If Valve can pull off a Steam Controller 2 that is inline with the Steam Deck and is capable of replacing my Xbox controllers, then I would happily pay full price at launch (after reviews off course). It could be the ultimate game controller.

        I’m in the minority that thought the original Xbox controller and original stream controller are sized perfectly 😄

          I like the ergonomics of the Xbox controller a lot (not the original ;-) ), but it would be nice to get rid of the proprietary driver and Microsoft wireless adapter on my Linux PC. Plus it’s missing motion sensors, which could be used in Switch emulation or for some cool custom control schemes for Steam games.
