Discussion controller wasn't for me. maybe for someone else
I got the steam controller 2 weeks ago and while it is a good controller I've just come to the conclusion it isn't for me. I much rather prefer my Dualsense. although steam controller did show me the way of steam input.
I just wanted to see if there is anyone in the NYC area wanting one before I return it

What did you try it on?

i mainly play FPS games, mostly apex. and the inputs were just to sensitive for me and using the back buttons were just something i could not get used to with the muscle memory i have. i'm older so that may have something to do with it
i found that the dual sense has some algorithm or whatever to really smooth inputs including gyro, and i like how the buttons and triggers feel better

That’s fair it’s definitely not the best controller for competitive games but I love it for literally everything else I played to many competitive games when I was younger and now just play chill single player games for the most part which this controller does amazingly

for me, it was just i would spend too much time trying to customize everything just trying to make it feel right for me. i love the features like removing hands from grips to pause a game and the ability to make your own item wheel which is amazing. but with steam input i can use the trackpad and gyro on the dual sense anyway for desktop navigation

The dual sense does have a trackpad but because it’s located at the top of the controller you will literally never really use it in a game sure your right for desktop navigation but that’s not why I got the controller being able to have trackpads in an easy to reach spot is insanely useful

Love mine but I still keep going back to Vader 4 Pro. It’s just a better controller for the games I play.

I use Vader 5 pro. It's crazy responsive. Apparently at higher refresh rates, you can get like 4 frames earlier input than the steam controller because of controller polling rates

The extra two buttons on bottom right are incredible. Have it set to Map. Can quickly stim and open the map in Helldivers 2. For some reason steamcontroller 2 just sucks at multiple quick inputs.
