Looks good. I just hope they bring back two-stage triggers, as those are missing from the Steam Deck.
What's a two-stage trigger? Analogue until it's all the way down, then a click (like the GameCube)?
This is correct, linear trigger with a click at the end very useful in desktop mode to have it slow the mouse movement with a trigger pull and then the trigger click for the mouse click.
You haven't just been using the TouchPads in desktop mode?
The Deck triggers don't have a physical switch at the end, but Steam Input does have soft pull and full pull mappings as well as settings to change when and how they activate.
Not quite the same as you have no tactile feed back on when you are about to enter the full pull part.
Oh that's cool, I'd not even considered using it to control a mouse
I got an 8bitdo controller (ultimate 2C or whatever), and it feels really nice. Except the triggers are not two-stage. And it's smaller.
