Any gamepad without vibration feels lifeless to me. This was one of the first gamepads I bought for PC, the Thrustmaster Dual Analog 4. No vibration, L3/R3 require a lot of force to press, no analog movement on the triggers. I guess what you get is what you pay for but man I don’t wanna go back to cheapo controllers…
Steam Controller is of course an unbeatable classic, almost it’s own category with the weird but charming touchpads.
Of the more conventional controllers I’m a big fan of my current Gulikit KK3 Max. I was looking for a controller with Hall-effect joysticks, and this one looked like one of quality, so I decided why not eh. Feels like a good controller when I use it, so I’m content with it.
Playing FH4 too, trying to get all the playlist related achievements before it’s too late 😋
One thing I’ve noticed is that you can’t be signed in from two places, so if you decide to play on desktop after playing on the deck, you need to sign in again…
Bought Dicey Dungeons as a good one to play on Deck. I can run it with the TDP on the GPU set to 3w, which increases the battery lifespan impressively, while still running great! Plus the game itself lends itself well to the deck I’d say.

Good to know this as well, I’ll be downloading it on my Deck and grind away the coming month
From this date forward we will offer different discounts for Forza Horizon 4, like the one currently active on STEAM (at the time of publishing); we will also have a sale in the Xbox Store on 7/14. Please keep an eye out on our socials and different platforms to take advantage of future offers.
Also good to know incase you still want to get friends in on it
I’ve played Yakuza 0 with Heroic on the Deck. The game ran well, no problems. Just had more issues with cloud sync between desktop and Deck (manually activate a sync), and achievements not working. Eventually got so fed up that I rebought the game on Steam to get those two working again…
I wonder if people are just posting more Nintendo stuff to the workshop now out of spite or rebelliousness
Interesting, learned something new from my silly comment!
All this text, yet nowhere its mentioned whether it runs Doom. Clearly the most important thing to run on any device
I’m running my trusty ASP Explorer, engineered to a max jump range of about 65ly.
I’m pretty sure you can make the journey with less jump range, but the more you have, the more comfortable it will be. Just be sure to take as many neutron stars along the way as you can! 😁
Got back into Elite Dangerous big time. Gathered the courage to go to Colonia finally! The journey wasn’t as bad as I expected. Spread it out over two days and it’s very doable! I’ll stick around the Colonia region for a bit and then its on to Sag A*
Slowly getting through Lego Bricktales. Building on a flatscreen isn’t as satisfying as the real thing, but it’s a nice little game to play on Deck.
There has been an issue open on their GitHub for a while now for OneDrive support. Hope the dev manages to get around to it eventually
Thanks for asking! They got back to me and said they’d “make an exception” for me. I now have a solid 150€ on my Steam wallet. Sooo, I’m still a happy Steam Deck owner!
I put in a request asking for them to reimburse the difference between original and sale price. It’s a long shot but hey why not y’know?
Great, just bought one on Tuesday. Time to refund and rebuy I guess?
Fellow Ex-Windows Phone user who misses the UI.
I’ve always used Launcher 10 to emulate the Windows Phone experience. Works quite good but sadly it’s a bit buggy on my OnePlus 6. Tends to crash and it will not always show all the apps in the app list.
But this looks good! I’ll definitely give this a try.
Recently picked up PlateUp, can definitely recommend that one as well. It’s like a roguelike Overcooked. If your relationship survives this surely you can handle it all
In case of a fix for the Deck, this would roll through to the Linux desktop too, right?
