I don't use my touch pad a whole lot, so maybe i should test it out some! Ill give your way a shot sometime soon lol

But in general i prefer my alpakka controller to the steam one anyway, super smooth gyro

Oh, I've heard of the alpakka! That one is pretty unique, looks really effective though once you get the hang of it. If you didn't know, there's also "flick stick", which is a gyro technique distinct from either. Personally, I'm hoping for a steam controller 2. The deck feels much more natural in my hands than the original steam controller did
