I have had my Steam Deck for a bit of time. While most games I am able to control fine I find myself slightly struggle with FPS games on it. With a regular controller I do fine but the spacing of the joystick on the SD tend to tire my hands out fairly quickly.
I recently tried Gyro aiming on some games and it does feel better, but I can’t quite get used to aiming that way through an entire run of the game. I’ve heard of things like FlickStick aiming to help.
Does this feel like a niche? Wouldn’t it be better to just bring a controller or M&K with your SD if you want to play a FPS?
I think I’m mostly with you. I was almost entirely a k+m player before getting my Steam Deck, and only now am I reasonably competent with the Steam Deck controls. Gyro seems like a lot of effort to master.
It doens’t help that I keep trying different games and enjoy weird indie games. As such I’m rarely tweaking either the performance or the controls for any specific game.
