The steam deck controls are honestly too important for me to consider anything else. The fact that I can play mouse and keyboard games with no issues is huge.
For me, it’s being able to sleep and wake the device with games still running without worrying about a crash or running out of battery because Microsoft broke sleep on W11
To be honest it goes beyond that. The steam input customization is major. Like the fact that I can take a mouse and keyboard action RPG and assign the left stick to move around just like it had controller support.

Every single one of the so called “Steam Deck Killers” drops the ball on the controls, it’s impressive.
Aya Neo Kun looks promising with its touchpads, but I am sure the Steam Deck still has it beat on price.

Yeah that’s my thing, too. Touchpads are important in this regard I would say.

The controls are just so good. I don’t think I could do without the inputs especially the touchpads
