I assume they did, the article doesn't mention that they didn't use peripherals. No way they did it all on the tiny screen with touch keyboard

I played Flatout 2 a lot and got the bundle on steam now, still pretty cool.

I think the date was not clear, there was some info that looked like it's a year old but also some seemed to be from last month. Given the campaign was fully playable I doubt it's actually a year old.

They still haven't released the specs, but a fully functional build was leaked a few weeks ago. Did anyone try to play it on the deck? I know it's unlikely but I still hope that the game will be playable.

How do you use the built in microphones? [Update] in c/steamdeck@sopuli.xyz

TIL deck has a microphone. Barely ever playing online though.

My hammock is my favorite place to play as well! Super comfy

I've been lucky, found a cheap one nearby and got it, I like the pad a lot! It'll take some time to get used to the low position of the abyx buttons and the lacking second joycon, but once I get it I'm set.

Didn't get it to work with Bluetooth yet, guess I have to update the controller firmware, but it's fine with cable.

I'm currently looking for another controller for the deck. Reddit threads and some articles usually mention Dualsense, Dualshock4, 8bitdo Ultimate and XBox controllers.

I want one with a trackpad this time because I miss it for point and click games and the PS controllers seem to be fitting, but I'd prefer the buttons to have ABXY, in the XBox ordering. Are there controllers where the trackpad has feedback like the deck has?

There are plenty offbrand controllers out there, are you using any of them and what's your experience with them?

I got the BT 8bitdo ult, some cheap Switch controller and 2 old Xbox "The Duke" so far, for references.

They arrived today and it's just plug n play, pretty cool! Got some from "McBazel" but I'm sure there are several.

I still have my original Xbox. I always liked the fat controllers, they're wired and plugged in with some xbox specific connector. I found some usb adapters online, has anyone tried to connect those to a steamdeck?
