The touch pads, they are like highly programmable laptop touchpads, and then left and right triggers for mouse clicks. There’s a ton of custom configs people have already made for games like these, so the controller buttons get mapped to various keyboard shortcuts for you. If you’re into these types of games, or even strategy games, this thing has been a powerhouse for me in that regard. Ps, getting Steam controller day 1 for the same reason, so then I can play these games on my living room tv no problem.
