Try switching between Xinput and Dinput mode. You can get the extra buttons to work with one of them usually (AFAIK).

8BitDo regularly releases firmware updates for their controllers (and dongles!). You might want to try the missing functionality after an update.

GN simply isn’t a peripherals review channel with no particular expertise in this field.

Sweet! Unfortunately, my Anbernic RG 351P won’t have enough power for any of the games on Steam. Still really cool.

Edit:

Currently, this is available on “Qualcomm-based” handhelds

Oh well, I don’t own any of those.

With the new Backpack Battles update I’ve been checking out the new content on the Deck.

In Germany everything is out of stock.

If I was Valve, at this point I’d probably scrap the project and develop a new console with a planned release in late 2027 or so. Hopefully the prices will get back to normal until then and they could use actually good hardware instead of relying on a 8GB FSR3 GPU.

Reviewers have already stated their fear that it might be dead on arrival when the price is not as competitively set as the Steam Deck’s and this was long before the RAM price increases. So I don’t really see a chance for a successful product launch in the current market.

What good will be the release if it’s unbearably expensive?

Not really helpful, but D4, D2R and Overwatch are on Steam. The RTSs (SC, SC2, WC3) I wouldn’t want to play on a handheld anyway.

Hm, I see. Like old Japan exclusive titles. Haven’t thought about that.
A bit weird to implement it as Decky plugin then, because basically everything on Steam is available in English.

I’ve literally never had a use for something like this.

In the meantime you can check out ZOOM which makes Linux a first-class citizen:

Where touchpads?

I hope 0.1% lows of 60fps @ 1080p lowest quality (without upscaling/framegen) is one of the requirements.

Ignoring that the source is absolute bullshit: If it’s that expensive, they can save themselves the trouble of developing, it’s dead on arrival.

This new revision of the Legion Go 2 will be sporting the same specs as the version already on the market, but will ship with SteamOS loaded as stock on the handheld.

How is this compared to https://github.com/moraroy/NonSteamLaunchers-On-Steam-Deck

Yeah, the Steam Frame is one of those things where no matter what it’ll end up costing (realistically) I’m going to buy one.

If it’s more than 60€ (incl. VAT) then I’m not going to buy one. I already have more controllers than I need (including the original Steam Controller) so I see it more as a collector’s item.
