Since getting my Steam Controller, I've been playing docked much more, and was curious how well it works for everyone else.

Since I got my makeshift Steam Machine, I now have the deck always docked, with a monitor, KB&M and paired with 4 xbox controllers. It only becomes undocked when we make a trip.

Before all of this, it used to be always docked to the living room TV and without Steam Controllers, my kids were limited to games with controller support.

The experience has always been great.
