I hope the d-pad is better than the steamdeck one, other than that I'm looking forward to it.

What’s wrong with the steam deck one? Too mushy for your tastes? I’ve never had issues with it.

[–] MolochAlter@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Way too mushy, can't realistically play fighting games with it, and i much prefer d-pad to analog for those.

So far no controller has beaten the XBOne and later style of dpad with clicky switches underneath, for me.

They were talking about "magnetic joysticks" so they're hall effect?

[–] MolochAlter@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

The joysticks are fine, nice that they're upgrading them. I want the d-pad to be clicky though. There are kits for the deck but I don't care enough about this to mess with the electronics, I'd rather it be done by pros.

And if you don't know tmr is basically a straight upgrade, makes it vastly more power efficient. Pretty much the same otherwise.
