Frame rate and optimization issues currently leave CS2 anything but playable on Steam Deck, but it appears that Valve is working quickly to fix things.
Steam Deck is not limited to handheld, you can hook it up to a desk setup with USB -C. Also, I used to play CSGO handheld. I’m in the low silvers even on PC and it doesn’t make a big difference to me skill wise. You can be really precise with trackpad + gyroscope.

You might have enough time to aim with a trackpad in silver, thats definetly not the case in higher ranks.
Dang it’s a good thing people don’t play games for fun otherwise you might actually have a point, doofus
You can plug a mouse into a steam deck, dork.
Not everyone is trying to go pro lol
I just want to play on my skill level, and not 5 ranks below.
It doesnt have anything to do with me tryharding, it just isnt fun when its the hardware that loses the game and not me.
Gyro is easily comparable to using a mouse
Not according to literally every test ever done on it. It always falls behind far enough to not be viable competitively
I think you live in an alternate universe and also have never tried it
Ive owned a steam controller for several years and regularly use gyro aim in many games that aren’t competitive.
But again, it’s still behind a traditional mouse as far as accuracy. There are tons of videos on this, even aim training software has data about this.
