Playing Helldivers 2. My brother on the desktop on the living room TV. Me on the SteamDeck on the couch next to him. Playing co-op together.

Aiming with a controller is just going to be terrible. I'm just not a "serious" gamer, and we were playing beginner missions (literally my first time ever playing this game).

In theory you could probably get very good at it using the gyros but there's a pretty big learning curve there.

Manually adjusting the deadzones will help a lot also.

In general I'd agree, but on the deck why would you not use the trackpad as a mouse for anything first-person?

Because that's even worse than an analog stick? ๐Ÿ˜‚

Well to each their own, but the only thing closer than the trackpad to a mouse would be a mouse.
