Hello all, I was hoping to pick up a machine for 1080p gaming on a TV primarily for playing couch party games on emulators (switch, ps3, wii, etc) and was wondering if the deck would be a good fit? I've heard before that there were some problems with docks but not sure if that's been resolved. Any insight is appreciated

Yes, some games just let you select which controller is which, some of them you have to manually set it in the Steam Input settings before you launch the game.

You can reorder the controllers in Steam Input after launching the game. I have had to do this a few times when the deck controller got put first when I was playing alone and wanted to sit on my couch.
