Eh, I kind of get it. I’ve had my Deck ever since it came out and used the touchpads maybe two or three times in total. They are pretty pointless in my eyes.
First, that’s your personal usecase. Second, they’re very handy in some games were you have to select an area for example or when you’re in desktop mode. I haven’t used them that much either but they are useful.
Yeah, constantly, the easy example is keyboard input, the dual trackpad input is really nice to use. I wish they were a hair larger and round like the original steam controller becauae they were amazing on that, but even then, rotary menus are an amazing feature and the trackball mode is really nice to use. They’re a heck of a lot nicer than the joystick mouse for me.
Nicest part about the deck/controller is the flexibility, touchscreen helps add even more utility but the original controller could totally be used for keyboard/mouse heavy games on the couch, some people go wild with multiple control layers and button chords, there’s a lot of ability to customise things which is appreciated.
No touchpads?
Believe it or not, that minuscule fingerprint reader looking thing on the bottom right is a touchpad. I really don’t know what they were thinking.

Have you used both or just one of them like you would a laptop touchpad? I think the tiny touchpad of the Lenovo can probably do this as well.
