Rules:
I have the official Steam Deck Dock, a dbrand screen protector and thumb stick grips. For input I have a Steam Controller, a G502X wired non-RGB and an all-black Keychron V1 with Gateron Pro Reds, blank PBT keycaps and a marbled black resin wrist rest – ninja board! Oxygen25 MIDI keyboard for music, I use FamiTracker to make chiptune and this is a great mobile studio. ATH-m50x headphones, they’re good but I miss my old Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro.
I really hope they make a new Steam Controller with the same inputs as the Deck. I’m addicted to the back L4 L5 R4 R5 buttons. Heck I don’t even need the trackpads. If anybody knows a third party controller with four back buttons like that, please let me know (especially if they function like the Deck’s inputs and aren’t hardcoded to ABXY or something).
I would love Steam to release a Steam Controller v2 with a Deck layout (although that would make for a big controller), I’m just not sure the Steam Controller v1 sold well enough on its own to justify that.
The Rise4 remap kit for Dualsense isn’t exactly “hardcoded” to ABXY, you can map them to any combination of face buttons. You can’t create new ones, though. However! If you’re not using the trackpads, you can assign steam virtual menus to them, and get up to 16 new “soft” buttons on each side.
