I was wondering how much you are using your Steam Deck? And did the games you play on it change since you bought it?
I find that I used it a lot when I first got it, but my usage has gone down in the mean time. That’s mostly because I play games that are not a great fit for the Steam Deck (strategy, building, etc.) and I prefer to play those on my PC.
I go back and forth. Past few weeks used it a bunch but hadn’t touched it in a month. Sometimes I start a game on my deck then think this would be so much better with mouse and keyboard then just play it on my laptop.
I also play allot of strategy and building games. I still think the touchpads are awesome and work great for those types of games but like when I play Kenshi I assign the back buttons too and it ends up hurting my hands after awhile.
I love how Endzone, the type of game that usually relies heavily on mouse, has adapted the controls for a gamepad.

I agree about the touchpads. Those work great. And most keys can be assigned to.buttons so without keyboard is okay, but some strategy games have a lot of shortcuts and those just work better with a keyboard.
