I bought this controller, and used it for around two weeks, and its really great. Despite being cheap, it is quite good for its money. And having a touchpad with gyroscope really makes a big difference for playing pc keyboard+mouse focused games.

Darkwalker shotpad actually looks interesting, and is actually cheap. Despite not having a controller input, i wanted a controller with gyro and trackpads specifically to play games with no controller support.

I cant wishlist it on my account, steam says it is unavailable in my region, and i could not change the region with vpn, still unavailable. So i have to buy steam controller from resellers, but they overprice it due to high demand.

The original price is $100, but due to very high demand and very low supply, every store that even has one for sale, the price is absurdly high. Are there any alternatives to steam controller which also support gyroscope and touchpads, but are not that expensive?

Are there any cheaper alternatives to steam controller, the ones which also support the gyroscope and touch pads? I would like to buy something like steam controller, if it did not cost $300 usd.

Zink reduces the game performance by around a third. The base framerate on my system is not very high and reducing it further is not worth the gains from frame gen.

This is cool, but it will take time until most of the mods, especially those relying on graphics will get updated to newer versions, with vulkan support implemented.

This app is very useful on my laptop with cheap integrated graphics. Unfortunally lsfg only works with vulkan, and games like minecraft (which i play with shaders) does not support it.

By real games i mean pc games. There are plenty of various open source lauchers or third party android ports from github which can run real pc games on android. But the problem remains: either bad performance, as the game is not optimised for mobile hardware, or terrible touchscreen controls, as the pc games might require a lot of keys to play.

For example, i can play minecraft java edition on android using zalith launcher, but some medium modpacks may not work due to lack of memory or unsupported mods, and playing it using touchscreen is very difficult. Unlike some other games, minecraft java edition isnt really designed about controllers, and even with dedicated mods which add support for them, arent really useful.

Mobile sucks. Smartphones are just too limited for real gaming. First problem is the hardware; you cant just put a desktop or laptop processors into a mobile device. Second is a small screen, which is very difficult to use for touchscreen controls and simply too small to actually see what is being displayed.
