    Still no input parity with the Steam Deck. I guess I must be in a pretty small niche of folks that actually cares about that but there are certain games that would just be so much harder to play without all those inputs.

        The back paddles and touchpads, no one else has quite as many control options baked in

          Exactly this. They are just so useful when combined with Steam input.

                  That plus heaps more, it’s extremely powerful. You can set up radial menus so flicking one of the sticks in a particular direction triggers an action, or holding down a button triggers rapid pressing to help with quicktime events. That’s not even scratching the surface though.

                  People are super into this and create quite intricate setups which they share directly through steam so you can download a popular mapping for your favourite game and tweak it however you like.

          Ah okay. I rarely use the pads and never found a use for the paddles. What do you use them for?
