MODERATORS
Blows my mind that none of these competing devices include touchpads. I swear half the games I play use the touchpads, whether it's FPS-style games or something like Rimworld or Gunpoint.
On the flip side, I've never used the touchpads in a game outside of Aperture Desk Job.
Same, I keep running my fingers over then to get the rumble I'm missing, but otherwise have not used them at all
Same. Wish SD didn't have them and I could save myself a few bucks and get a more compact form factor.
I don’t think the touch pads are adding much to the form factor. All the other handhelds just have blank spaces where a touchpad could fit.
No, none of that is correct. There's nowhere you could fit a usable touchpad on those devices.
