I think the Deck’s killer feature is really just having a library already ready to go when you buy it. Compare this to having to rebuy duckhunt wrapped in an emulator again on the Switch, or whatever.
The touchpads are such a nice controller innovation too.
They also do a really good job of patching Proton to get Windows games working on the Deck hardware. Even games that don’t meet minimum requirements will run on the Deck.
I love the touchpads so much. If only Valve would sell a controller that uses those things for those of us who already have a gaming PC and don’t want to buy a whole ass new device.
Best controller I ever used. The last one I bought got smashed when I was moving and I wasn’t able to fix or replace it, and I’ve been using a Hori fighting game controller ever since, but it’s just not as good.
I wasn’t really impressed by the touchpads, until I actually used them. Been playing stellaris on my bed every day now and I can’t imagine a portable PC like this not having pads.

Steam controller :D I grabbed one for like 5 $ when they were going out of production. It’s not exactly the same but…

Yeah, I didn’t get them either until using one and realizing conceptually they’re more like a trackball.
