Overkill is doing their annual Steam Deck survey

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!

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.

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!

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

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

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.

You know the original Steam controller has gyro input?

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

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.

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

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

Submitted ✅

done! huzzah!

Done!

This was the best survey experience Ive ever had, really felt tailored to every type of user and not broad in the slightest.
