    • @DoubleJumpPunch
      @DoubleJumpPunch 8 месяцев назад +3

      Yeah, and I think most people who don't "get" the Deck's trackpads never actually tried to configure them via Steam Input, which is how they really shine. That's something I'm hoping to change with my videos as I don't see Valve making it any more user-friendly any time soon.

      @paulsegrue5133 8 месяцев назад +2

      ​@@DoubleJumpPunch I hate trackpads and only use mouse and keyboard for first person shooters. So I don't play those type of games on my Ally or Steam Deck. I am really greatful the Ally doesn't have trackpads as it would make the handheld larger than it needs to be. The Ally is the perfect size for a handheld for me, let's face it the Steam Deck is too large and the Legion Go is a big tablet with detachable controllers. It's nice to have different form factors for different people, Asus got it spot on for me. I haven't used my Steam Deck for quite some time mainly because it is too bulky for a handheld.

      @@paulsegrue5133 That’s great that the Ally works better for you, it does what it does well and I’m glad the option exists. I love the Deck’s ergonomics, the OLED is probably even better with its lighter weight (in that regard, I don’t think trackpads have a significant effect).
      It’s funny because growing up as a mouse/keyboard player myself, first-person shooters are my most-played genre on the Deck, thanks to the responsive mouselike precision that a horizontally-configured Trackpad + Gyro allows. Playing fast-paced retro shooters on-the-go is my jam, definitely wouldn’t want to give that up. I don’t expect to go pro with the scheme but I think it’s the best layout that any handheld has to offer.

    Now that the Z1 extreme version is $600, this is a better choice than Steam deck. The only thing that makes me not want to buy it is that you can't use a thunderbolt EGPU. Asus using a proprietary port to force you to use THEIR egpus when the Legion Go can work with any thunderbolt egpu. As a desktop replacement, the Legion Go is a better option.

      Some games are just programmed to accept mixed inputs just fine and others like to lock inputs or others have them fight each other in weird ways.
      But Cyberpunk is a prime example of one that accepts mixed inputs without any major issues.

I can give up on a few games and play lighter ones on 40 fps with very good battery life because I already have a gaming pc if I want actual performance and competitiveness. I also have been meaning to get into learning Linux for years and the Steam Deck appeared out of nowhere and I immediately made up my mind lol. I have tinkered with it a lot since I have bought it and used its desktop mode for educational purposes and sometimes use it as an actual laptop on campus. I had many difficulties with Linux but I have learned a lot since then and maybe even consider switching to it fully in the future. I also actively use the trackpads and back buttons which offer practically endless combinations of commands you can assign to them.
