I dont understand why you want this controller at all if you're happy with an Xbox controller. It's a terrible value if you aren't a Steam Input power user.

But using it as a generic gamepad misses the entire point of the controller. If you don't want steam input for the extra buttons and touchpads, why even buy it?

Steam Input is not exclusive to this controller, correct. However the inputs that this controller has and exposes to Steam Input are. There is no other controller in existence that supports dual touchpads and capacitive gyro. I'm not sure why youre being so argumentative. It's not for you, move on.

I'm not here complaining about price, i'm complaining about value. Show me why this is worth what they are asking.

You already _have_ a Steam Controller built into your Steam Deck. If you haven't made custom steam input mappings to utilize the touchpads and capacitive sticks with gyro, then this is not going to appeal to you.

If you want to see what that's all about there are videos on Steam Input for the Deck and all the cool things you can do with it. Once you have that the way you like it you wish all controllers could do it (or at least I do).

So this is a niche product for people who utilize all the control surfaces that the Deck and the original Steam Controller offer. If you don't then it's overpriced and not worth it.

God forbid people "suffer" by watching a completely voluntary video of someone trying to help others. Look, I didn't watch the video, but no matter how long it was it's got supposedly helpful information in it and we should be thankful someone's taking the time to post at all.

It's not their job to put it in a format you like, just move on and don't be an entitled ass about it. I'm sure your parents taught you if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all.

Yuuup. Ubisoft has some great titles, but their interference makes them not worthwhile.

No, I'm not installing your crappy bloated launcher. Get bent.

You don't have any idea what you're talking about.

Look, I see what you're getting at, high end GPU improvements have slowed to a trickle and they just keep charging more. You're not wrong that the business has changed and NVIDIA and AMD are squeezing.

However that is NOT what is happening with the Steam Deck. This is a simple engineering limitation. You cannot have a super powerful GPU in the form factor of the SD due to size, cooling, and power constraints. They can't just magic these limitations away or throw money at it. To get what you want would not only cost more, but the SD would be twice the size if not more, sound like a jet engine, and have a 15 minute battery life.

The Steam Deck is still king to me due to it's controller setup. Nothing comes close to the versatility. But I do agree with you, if OP is a console player and only cares about thumb sticks then there are better options.

That doesn't make a lot of sense. 3840x2160 is cleanly divisible by 1920x1080. You should just have pixel doubling happening. Check that you don't have some sort of scaling turned on in the TV.

It wont magically look high res, it'll be 1080p, but there shouldn't be any blurryness, just the blockiness of 1080p on a large display.

Yup. Look I don't like the idea of drone/robot warfare, but Ukraine doesn't have enough military support to win conventionally. As much as I wish allied countries would take the gloves off, they are still assisting minimally from afar so Ukraine has to get creative.

Won't you **please** think of the profits!

That's a bang on analogy.


There's no real way of knowing what would have happened, but knowledge is eventually gained. Somebody would have developed nukes even if it tool a lot longer and we'd end up being in a similar situation eventually.

How can you be in the society and not be a royal?

I have that user tagged previously as a Russian Troll. Just ignore him.

Better conditions for animals cost money. I'd rather no one eat eggs, but it's an improvement. Infustrial faming is a travesty.

The US already has that agreement!

Yup. And they're something he controlls, so when a company or country wants to get an exemption to his tarrifs so they can be more competitive they need to grovel.

It's an extortion racket, mixed with a poor tax, mixed with insider trading. Honestly as far as Trump grifts go, this one is pretty impressive. Just don't know how long he'll get away with it before his followers start to feel the pain.

Build up the EU military. Kick the US out. Free airbases.

Divinity Original Sin. Currently playing it docked with two Xbox controllers and it runs great at 1080p.
