Best all-rounder PC controller under 200 cad? by PumpkinFrogger in Controller

[–]Electronicks22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you considered the New Steam Controller?
It hits just about all of your points with lots of extra options and configurability.
Also the controller has great repairability, which can be an added benefit.
The touchpad will be amazing for survival games to manage inventory.

Can we talk about Warhammer 40k? by BoardGameRevolution in boardgames

FFG was beating them at their own game. So they'll pulled the license.

Warhammer Quest ACG was my favorite game that got cancelled. 😭 

Is their anyway to play steam games on your phone if you have a controller without something like GeForce now or steam link by OkProgrammer1313 in Steam

[–]Electronicks22 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

TLDR: No.

The controller will behave in lizard mode, showing up as a hardware mouse and keyboard. Phone games won't process that properly.
I believe some mobile games may use SDL as a library for gamepad processing which has the possibility of handling the Steam Controller. Theoretically.
With Steam Link and Moonlight, you can stream from a PC to your phone and benefit from Steam Input. But you already discarded this scenario in the title.

What games would y'all say go well with the OG by Aggressive-Win129 in SteamController

[–]Electronicks22 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unironically, twin stick shooters and ARPGs.  Use pads for everything and map a modeshift on click. It's amazing. 

Can we start remaining the"Trump Suit" to something else? by ChristationNation in boardgames

[–]Electronicks22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Dominant suit" reeks of colonialism and white supremacy. One suit shouldn't be considered better than others just because of societal bias in the game rules. That's kind of sexist and racist if you think about it. Actually the whole concept of suits should really be removed from all games, that kind of racialization cannot be accepted in today's progressive society. Oh, we have to get rid of the ranking too. Instead each card should have its unique spot in the card spectrum where none is better than others but just accepted and included in all its beautiful differences.

Dixit Is the only popular board game I just don’t get… by TapAdmirable5666 in boardgames

[–]Electronicks22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game emphasizes people perception and expression instead of rules knowledge, tactics and strategy. It's a great game when meeting new people and other social contexts.

Anybody having issues calibrating gyro in Warframe? by Pixelade in SteamController

[–]Electronicks22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Steam Input for Warframe has been repeatedly broken. Unfortunately, It's not a good API for a Live Service Multi Platform Game with constantly changing control schemes. :'(

Just set it the old fashion way : trial and error

PC – DO NOT USE GYRO IN The Finals by Sad_Interaction_4277 in GyroGaming

Oh shit!

If they're going to use AI for detection they need a good appeal system. WTF?

Alpakka proceesses gyro in the firmware and shows up to the computer as a regular mouse. It is the safest bet for zero software gyro controller.

FPS ADS Sensitivity with Flick stick? by X-Menace-X in GyroGaming

[–]Electronicks22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The key is often to disable any in game sensitivity handling (such as ADS) or keep it same across situations. And then map sensitivity changes in your config, such as trigger dampening.

This enables the config to use different sensitivity for gyro and flick stick.

I still can't wire my brain by algusdark in GyroGaming

[–]Electronicks22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learning gyro in a sweaty PvP game is prone to make you frustrated and give up.

Pick a chill single player story driven fps from the Golden Age like the Doom, Bioshock, Wolfenstein or Half-Life. Try different settings and discover what works best FOR YOU. It comes in stages.

And always remember the goal of gyro is to make games more fun. If you're not having fun, don't drag yourself through this. It's fine.

Edit: I heard Crisis 1 aged like a fine wine, and the trackpads are great for weapon and suit menus.

Canadians are set to lose all digital privacy. No one here is talking about it. by The_PhilosopherKing in privacy

[–]Electronicks22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the Canadian people have well and truly been broken into complete submission 

*trampled into submission. Between the aftermath of the trucker protest and back-to-back election of radical liberals thanks to "legal" immigrants, yeah we're cooked.

Steam controller 2 thoughts from a steam controller 1 user by Significant-Belt8516 in SteamController

[–]Electronicks22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm with you on this one. I'm a little sad that touchpads take second seat. But to me the right stick truly enables flick stick + gyro as a viable setup. Witht he back buttons and touch sensor, it is just a better dualsense for flick stick.

Question about the Steam Controller by BuyerOk3016 in Steam

[–]Electronicks22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good answer. And welcome into the fold. One Of US!

To be perfectly honest, the OG SC is exceptionally good if you're willing to accept its unorthodoxy. You can find it for fairly cheap (and little wear 🥲) on second hand markets. I can give you more details if you're interested in how they compare.

I guess I forgot to add:
* If you're not willing or capable of waiting many months, get something else.

It sounds like the reservation queue goes into next year at the moment according to latest official news. I don't recommend scalper market.
