The touch pads are the killer feature, imho. They are the key to making mouse centric games playable. I wouldn’t want to touch eg stellaris with an 11 feet pole with joysticks or touch screen but sank so much time into the game on the deck.
I mean, there’s also so much other stuff… The device running on Linux and giving unrestricted access to the desktop. The software being great. The case being screwed, not glued. Valves super relaxed stance on people modifying the hardware. It all adds up. But from a purely user centric pov, I wouldn’t buy a PC based handheld without the pads after I saw how well they work.
I have three or four. A couple are dead. And I dread my last ones dying too. The durability is not great.
But being able to game on the couch is just… man, so amazing. I really very badly want a steam controller 2. It was, imo, the best thing to happen to PC gaming in years.
Give. The stea. Deckss popularity, and how they used everything they learned from the steam controller to make the controls on the deck what they apparently are, I’m holding out hopes that perhaps well one day get a vw steam controller.

That makes a lot of sense, at least from a subjective point of view. Cheers!
Its why I love the steam controller.
