If you have time, please consider filing one out. The results will be posted in a few weeks, and should give an interesting look into steam deck users, and how owning a deck has changed their gaming habits.

Yeah seriously. I have an original steam controller, but I want something that has the full layout of a standard controller plus track pads/back buttons/gyro.

[–] BmeBenji@lemm.ee 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You know the original Steam controller has gyro input?

[–] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I did know that. I usually use the "gyro + flickstick" combination for fps games on the deck though, so the lack of a right thumbstick on the original steam controller means I still can't use my preferred gyro control scheme.

My biggest frustration with the original steam controller thought is that I can't get the BLE firmware update to work properly. I can use it with the original firmware, but trying to install valve's BLE update (so that the controller can wake the steam deck from sleep) results in a non-functional controller until I downgrade.

That's very odd. Have you factory reset the controller then done the upgrade?

[–] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 1 points 4 days ago

I think so, but it's been awhile, so I'll try it again.
