I completely understand why Valve decided that the touchpad haptics were good enough, the deck is heavy as it is already. I'd still love to have the option of adding some proper rumble on the deck for the games that deserve it.

I never understood the appeal. Way back when controllers came out it was like, oh wow cool, but then just turned it off after the novelty faded.

If a game utilizes it properly, the haptic tech in the switch and steam controller (and I assume also the deck) can be really cool. Thumper on switch is imo the definitive edition of the game just because of how it uses the haptics. It's way more subtle and fine-tuned then just a motor with a weight.

Just confirming, it is on the Deck as well and it feels great.
