I love my Deck, except my life got busy and all the games I play require mb+k. Thought I'd end of using it a lot more lol.
I play some games with the dock and a M+KB. It’s a nice compromise for us Mac owners
The game porting library addition to MacOS was a nice surprise for Mac users, it’s exciting times
Knowing how Apple operates, they'll do anything to build the solution around their proprietary crap and while using open tech under the hood, never contribute anything back.
I am yet to discover a game that can't be played on the Deck. Steam Input, the touchpads and the gyro are great at getting a good control scheme for everything. I even played StarCraft on that thing.
For me, it's Genshin Impact that keeps my Windows install around. Anti cheat stuff is still bullshit.
Yup, I find analog stick plus touchpad to be perfectly adequate for most of my m+kb games. I'm not sure I could make it through a fast twitch shooter like Doom on it, but for the most part it works just fine.
