Hey everyone! What’s your preferred input method for fps games on the deck? I find myself going back and forth between flick stick and trackpad. For me trackpad feels more natural but flick stick feels more worth the time investment? If I spend time with flick stick on the deck then I could also use it when streaming moonlight to my tv or at my pc.

Which do you guys prefer?

I'm not kidding you, I play CS:Go on my Steam Deck using Trackpad + Gyro + Back Buttons and crush matches with it. It had a learning curve but after a day or two of adjustments, I was getting the same ranks and scores I used to with a mouse and a keyboard. So my suggestion would be trackpads over flick stick. I've tried flick stick for CS:Go but it just didn't feel natural.

I use joystick and gyro. Flick stick is probably the best, but it's not very intuitive for me. I can't stand the trackpad for fps

Coming from keyboard and mouse, for me the trackpad is essential. I can't get used to the stick, but the trackpads always seemed natural.

That's the main reason why I won't ever consider a device like the ally without trackpads.
