If you have time, please consider filing one out. The results will be posted in a few weeks, and should give an interesting look into steam deck users, and how owning a deck has changed their gaming habits.

I really hope we see a Steam Controller 2. The Deck’s trackpads are chef’s kiss and I want a controller with the Deck’s layout for docked mode

[–] snapcatcher@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 1 month ago

Yes! I want to play Factorio in docked mode but I need trackpads and back buttons for it

[–] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah seriously. I have an original steam controller, but I want something that has the full layout of a standard controller plus track pads/back buttons/gyro.

[–] BmeBenji@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You know the original Steam controller has gyro input?

[–] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I did know that. I usually use the "gyro + flickstick" combination for fps games on the deck though, so the lack of a right thumbstick on the original steam controller means I still can't use my preferred gyro control scheme.

My biggest frustration with the original steam controller thought is that I can't get the BLE firmware update to work properly. I can use it with the original firmware, but trying to install valve's BLE update (so that the controller can wake the steam deck from sleep) results in a non-functional controller until I downgrade.

That's very odd. Have you factory reset the controller then done the upgrade?

[–] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 month ago

I think so, but it's been awhile, so I'll try it again.

I blanked out on that question, but I knew I should write something so I said “Guitar hero controller”

[–] BmeBenji@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

For what it’s worth, I was able to remotely walk my brother through getting Clone Hero working on his Deck with a used GH controller from Ebay having never done it myself. It’s not too difficult!

[–] SuperSaiyanSwag@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Exactly why I said it, it was my most recent experience. I bought a used Wii guitar and changed the insides using a kit from Etsy.

[–] yuri@pawb.social 1 points 1 month ago

am i crazy or were the wii guitars like, uncharacteristically good? they’re the only ones i had growing up, and then i bought a ps2 guitar for clone hero recently and it’s TRASH in comparison!
