Yes! The steam controller was legitimately incredible for first person games. The combination of left joystick and right touchpad was incredible once you got used to it.

I love my steam deck, but I was really disappointed with the touchpads... they are just too small too really use for much of anything other than menus. As a result, I really only play 2d games, since I hate 2-stick controls...

Yeah, I've been playing lot of 2d platformers on my Deck or button mashers like the Yakuza collection where I'm less likely to miss touchpads.
