    Steam Deck is not limited to handheld, you can hook it up to a desk setup with USB -C. Also, I used to play CSGO handheld. I’m in the low silvers even on PC and it doesn’t make a big difference to me skill wise. You can be really precise with trackpad + gyroscope.

      You might have enough time to aim with a trackpad in silver, thats definetly not the case in higher ranks.

          Not according to literally every test ever done on it. It always falls behind far enough to not be viable competitively

              Ive owned a steam controller for several years and regularly use gyro aim in many games that aren’t competitive.

              But again, it’s still behind a traditional mouse as far as accuracy. There are tons of videos on this, even aim training software has data about this.

          I just want to play on my skill level, and not 5 ranks below.

          It doesnt have anything to do with me tryharding, it just isnt fun when its the hardware that loses the game and not me.
