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?

      Yeah trackpad alone doesn’t do much. Not even 10% of what Trackpad + Gyro can. And don’t forget the back buttons, they’re extremely important as well. Because you can map actions like jump and crouch to them making sure that both your thumbs are over the trackpad/stick all the time. At least in competitive game, moving your thumb away from the trackpad even for a second can be catastrophic.

      How sensitive do you set the gyro? Are you primarily aiming/looking around with gyro and only using trackpad to sweep or move to a general location like with flick stick? Or is it more like 80% moving around with trackpad and fine aiming with gyro?

        I do only fine aiming with gyro, I use the trackball mode on the touchpads for the big aiming moves
