Steamdeck is NOT officially recommended as there is NO CONTROLLER SUPPORT YET

That's exactly what Steam Input and the touchpads were designed for

Lol yeah what? Play anything through Steam and it not only has controller support, it has everything support. Steam Input is fucking awesome

Yeah, I'm amazed that none of the other handhelds (like Asus and Lenovo) have the touchpads. Such a great feature.
