MODERATORS
Yep, said 55% use the tracks trackpad in games and everyone uses it in desktop mode.
That seems crazy to me. If a game needs me to use the trackpad for anything more than occasional menu navigation, that’s pretty much a dealbreaker.
It works well as a mouse in games. E.g. Stellaris is designed as a keyboard & mouse game and works quite well with the trackpad.
I kind of agree. The way I have to contort my hand to use the trackpad with my right thumb is super uncomfortable for me. I prefer using the thumb stick for any kind of look. Don’t mind the trackpad for brief menu selections though.
What's wrong with the trackpad? I find using the trackpad to look around in FPS games is much better than the right stick.
I used to agree until I started using gyro aim
I use touchpad to look and spin around quickly, but gyro to make small aiming adjustments.
Yeah I guess I don’t play many FPSs. I tried Civilization and just couldn’t enjoy it. And the limited time I’ve spent on desktop mode, I just kept yearning for a mouse
I use it all the time in old school runescape
