    It’s an extremely comfortable device. I have larger hands and find the Switch relatively uncomfortable. Also, it’s just really awesome having that whole Steam library in the palms.

    Plus emulation. This cannot be overstated.

    For me the killer app is actually the trackpads, though. I play a lot of strategy games that are not at all controller friendly, but they’re great on the Deck with right pad as mouse. The scheme mimics what was done with the Steam Controller, and while I did find the pads on that and the haptics slightly better than those in the Deck, it’s a matter of not being able to play such games at all with other portable devices.

      The trackpads get slept on heavily for fps games as well. If you get it dialed in just right with motion control at a low sensitivity as well, you can get about as accurate as a mouse honestly.
