I was never any good at aiming with the analogue stick in FPS games. On the deck I'll usually use the trackpads (configured as a trackball with haptic feedback) to aim approximately and then gyro for fine tuning, and I've found my aim is significantly improved. It's no keyboard+mouse, but it's close enough for me, that unlike with the analogue sticks, I don't find myself needing to reduce difficulty levels or enable any kind of aim-assist.

I sometimes find myself wishing I had a controller with the same layout as the deck that I could use when I have it docked to my TV.

You can pair basically most first-party controllers for the PS4, PS5, XSX/XSS, and Nintendo Switch (the exception being the original non-Bluetooth Xbox One controller) to the Deck, should you have one laying around.


I’m aware of that, but you’ve missed my point. Not one of them has the same layout/control scheme as the deck with its trackpads and rear buttons.
