It's pretty cool. Kind of annoying to work with at first, but if you put the time in, you can increase your compatibility options exponentially.
Asher Jackson
Are you a game dev?

No. Q1 finished a while ago and I happened to be in the third batch. By increasing compatibility, I mean leveraging tools like Lutris or ProtonUp or mods to aid in performance. Sonic Generations runs like trash but GMI + the D3DEX removes the super stutter you might've seen on YouTube. Proton-GE supports games regular Proton does not like COD Black Ops 3

I see
Nice to know about those, even though I didn't get one (yet)
Thanks

If you have any questions about the Deck, feel free to ask me while I'm still present in the thread. I've had it for about two(?) weeks now so I think I've got a good grasp on it.

Are the default controller schemes offered by steam good enough or do you need to fumble with the settings in most games?
Nicholas Mitchell
Yeah I'd say so. The default seems to map as an Xbox 360 controller to games. This is particularly noteworthy because older titles do not detect more modern Xbox controllers (big ones like Dead Rising 2 or Rainbow Six Vegas 2), so it's nice to see Valve notice and respond. Some games have custom presets built for Steam Deck. Doom had a HIGH PRECISION layout that lets you easily access gyro + trackpad aim, so that's cool. If you do have to fiddle, it ends up being pretty easy. Thanks to the legacy of the Steam controller, there's a lot of alternative layout options. I found a preset that allows for tight gyro aim in MGSV as well as a surprisingly capable controller config for UT2004.
