methods of input (Part 2)

like, he only touches on it very, very briefly but the one big trick the Steamcon can do that other controllers can’t is that you can define the gyro to turn on if the right touchpad senses touch

it’s way, way more natural to be able to look around without having to do a toggle or go into ADS (I personally prefer doing hipfire whenever I can) and being able to make the touchpad act like a trackball is just :chefskiss:

I’m as interested in the Steam Deck as a weird ersatz Switch as I am using it as Steamcon 1.5

the load cell brake pedal for my wheel setup arrived, giving an instant improvement to the feel of braking, just night and day, and I only fucked up the cabling for the now-clutch pedal once

I really need to get back on the Fanatec train. I wish my CSR hadn’t fallen apart. I would love to be able to use it in FM4 again.

IDK who might be in the market for it, but USians can have 20% off either the Thrustmaster T150 (PC, PS3, PS4, PS5) or T248 (PC, PS4, PS5) with promo code HumbleB20 until April 5th, Thrustmaster account required, if that appeals at all

I had to buy four keyboards to realize my heart lies with low-profile blue switches.

I got a trackball for work and out of curiosity I tried it out with some shooters and I might’ve just become a trackball gaming pervert

Why was the first thing I imagined doing some kind of digital combination lock

I wanna use this to make a tempest clone with forever momentum and snappy feedback when you change segments or fire a shot.

I wonder if you could put the whole game in the knob screen!?!?

Didn’t the spedometer in the center not even work in most games? lol

I appreciate the concept though

Yeah, I think it just gives you the degree that the pedal button is pushed down since there wasn’t a way for the game to actually output the speed to the controller.

Yeah, looking at a video of it, it just shows a percentage that the gas pedal is pressed down.

god, what a time

kind of confused as to how to play :cyclone:Dreamcast in a way that makes the built-in clip insufficient
