Sometimes I game on keyboard + mouse, sometimes on controller, depending on the game. I love my keyboard, but being able to slouch with controller in hand is welcome as well. Unfortunately I've played so many games over the years with a controller that I struggle immensely to tap the right buttons when shit gets real. It's like my muscle memory is muddied with countless mappings. As a matter of fact there's no way I can switch between two games back and forth if they are even remotely similar in terms of perspective.

Have you experienced high levels of "typos" with game controllers too? Do you know of strategies to get more precise?

Steam Input is super helpful with this. If I find that I'm consistently pressing wrong buttons on the controller, and the game doesn't give you the ability to rebind controls in the menu (ew), then I just edit the profile in Steam Input and voila

People sleep on Steam Input, but it's one of the more unsung features of the Steam Deck imo. Nobody ever talks about it, and I've even seen people say that they hate it which makes zero sense to me (just don't use it?)
