The trackpads work much better for me on the Steam Controller than the Steam Deck because it feels nicer to use them when you aren’t wrestling to hold something with the dimensions of a boogie board at a comfortable angle.

Despite not having a laptop for many years, it's amazing how quickly the muscle memory came back of keeping one finger on the bottom left to click while the other hand moves the cursor!

I’m excited to get more time with it to test out the trackpads. I’m hopeful that it’ll make playing games like #Stellaris or #Rimworld with a controller more viable.

Some of the more recent ones have keyboards/trackpads that turn them into laptops (which I hate) so if you need that you may be trapped with a more recent one

Commenters kept circling the same bind. Apple's laptop efficiency and trackpads are still the industry benchmark, but modern macOS feels heavier and more locked down. Projects like Asahi have become the new frontier for people trying to reclaim the machine. #hardware 2/4

def an old man take but i'm always amazed how fast the younger generations are with trackpads. like watching some of these 20-year-old music producers just fly thru a DAW using a trackpad the whole time is bonkers.

I’ve had pretty good luck with ASUS so far for about four years. Go for the second from the top tier model, the top models are full of delicate new feature garbage like dick sucking trackpads that will break.
