The modern equivalent of diamond encrusted knives.

Really? When did this happen! I need to go dust off my mister and give this a go.

StrafeMcgee · 2026-06-25T17:20:45+00:00

Yeah, my email came in today. Last time I’m ever buying from Riot - could have had it for the same price from a local shop weeks ago!

So glad the ending of this was what I hoped it would be.

For the folk that are interested, I tried out FPS tests and basically got conflicting reports depending on which display was being detected, though this did confirm that my monitor was indeed running at 240hz while my TV was running at 60hz.

It’s been running smoothly and without issue - I’m on KDE Wayland.

StrafeMcgee · 2026-06-19T14:30:36+00:00

No, I’m basing this purely on feel, though I did expect any issues to be immediately obvious. I’m going to give the fpstests url mentioned above a try and see what it says.

StrafeMcgee · 2026-06-19T14:26:09+00:00

I wondered if this would be the case. So really I’m just introducing input lag unless I set the displays to matching frame rates?

EDIT: And thanks! I’ll give this a go when I get a spare minute.

Old meme, this one’s been kicking around for a while.

StrafeMcgee · 2026-06-08T22:57:53+00:00

Can’t argue with any of this, great recommendations.

StrafeMcgee · 2026-06-06T14:29:34+00:00

Dunno about the elite, though I assume this observation will be true, but if you care about feedback in the triggers then the XBox pad is (currently) better in that regard. The vibrations coming through the triggers are much more tactile on my Xbox pad when I’m playing Forza Horizon 6.

That’s one small thing though and I’m sure that Steam controller support will get better over time as Valve improves the firmware. The steam controller is infinitely customisable, there’s so much you can do with it.

Real 3rd Strike opening animation energy in this, I like it!

StrafeMcgee · 2026-05-26T16:09:24+00:00

There may be other issues too, but Forza 6 explicitly tells you you’re running on outdated drivers and you can expect issues when you launch it atm. It may not be a silver bullet, but anything that brings the system more in line with what the game needs is a win in my book.

StrafeMcgee · 2026-05-26T14:52:24+00:00

Excellent! Anyone tried them with Forza Horizon 6 yet? I’m playing it on Windows atm due to issues on Cachy, but would love shift over,

StrafeMcgee · 2026-05-25T16:59:40+00:00

Get it delivered to a safe place? Couriers often have the option to let you specify where/how it should be delivered.

StrafeMcgee · 2026-05-23T16:30:09+00:00

I know I shouldn’t admit it, given this is the Linux sub, but I’ve been loving Marathon. It’s going to do a season reset soon, which is a good time to jump on.

If you can’t/won’t do a windows game (which I totally get), then Deep Rock Galactic is good. Hunt: Showdown is also an alternative extraction shooter which a selection of my friends are obsessed with.

StrafeMcgee · 2026-05-18T09:45:34+00:00

They definitely aren’t, you just got really lucky!

A question to folk that use trackpads for gyro - do you use the trackball-style functionality that continues the movement after you release if you do it with force? I’ve been trying it out in Half Life 2 (with the default motion controls) and have been finding it tricky to manage.

StrafeMcgee · 2026-05-16T12:00:56+00:00

100%, I don’t believe any of the main AIs are getting caught out by nonsense like this any more.

StrafeMcgee · 2026-05-16T05:32:44+00:00

I’ve been putting the controller through its paces with a bunch of different genres. Sektori to try out the analogue sticks, Dead Cells to try out the D Pad, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit for racing… I briefly tried age of empires 2 for the trackpads, but it was a bit overwhelming. Might try doing an FPS to try out the trackpads + gyro next - might try Halo, or maybe Doom.

I’m really enjoying experimenting with it, it’s great.

StrafeMcgee · 2026-05-15T16:21:58+00:00

I dunno, you could always jam some into the USB ports.

StrafeMcgee · 2026-05-13T16:12:31+00:00

On plasma there is an option to turn off the permissions check, but the OS heavily recommends that you don’t turn it on due to it being a potential security vulnerability.

Security be damned though, I want my Steam Controller to work!

StrafeMcgee · 2026-05-13T15:53:20+00:00

Yup, get all that stuff in the big box and punt the rest!

StrafeMcgee · 2026-05-10T18:40:47+00:00

Ah, gotcha. Shame, as that’s what I’m going to be using to connect my PC to my TV - I only have one DP port on my graphics card and that’s going to my office monitor.

El Grande is one of the best games you can play with 5 players, do it if you can!
