I’m sure Steam Deck owners are buying many more games than the average Steam user. That’s how they make their money.

Just did some testing. The Steam Deck LCD just can’t seem to do 4 controllers at once. The OLED seems to cap out at 6 controllers. I recorded a video that I’m quickly editing right now to upload to YouTube later.

It’s definitely a limitation of the bluetooth chip on the LCD Steam Deck. This is something I’ve been planning to test on the LCD vs OLED. I’ve tested it on my desktop PC with several different USB bluetooth dongles and found that most of them struggled with more than 2 DualSense controllers connected. Only one dongle I had could handle 4 or more controllers at once and it’s a BT 4.1 dongle. Unfortunately, I only have 3 DualSense controllers but I have several other BT controllers to test this.

They can be mapped with Steam Input, yes. So can the FN buttons in front of the sticks.

Yeah. The HDR search filter is new and developers have to properly label their games as HDR enabled. Most of them have yet to do so.

The trackpads are configured differently on the main menu UI. The haptics are always dependent on how they are configured per game as well. In the main menu, the left trackpad is just a dpad. Try clicking it down like a dpad and you’ll notice the haptics.

Cuz they’re using UPS this time and UPS drivers are unionized and better paid.

The LCD model doesn’t support this over bluetooth because of a limitation with its WiFi/bluetooth chip. The new OLED model, however has a dedicated bluetooth chip that is powered on even during sleep mode that will wake up the Deck when a paired controller connects to it. So the solution to your problem already exists but only with the OLED model.

You can adjust the force required to click in the advanced settings of the trackpad. The default is always too sensitive. Go to where the mouse click is bound to “R Click” and open the settings menu next to it. It’s the cog icon. Then click settings. Scroll down to “soft press threshold” and set it to about 10,000. That’s what I’ve found to be a perfect click strength for me.

I used a torx 6 bit and it worked perfectly.

I’ve always used USB bluetooth dongles for my PS controllers. I’ve tried PCIe WiFi/bluetooth cards but they were extremely unreliable and laggy while the USB dongles don’t seem to have that issue especially if using an extender to get them further away from the PC case.

This has already been reported to work just fine. Make sure SteamOS is up to date first though.

Just a follow-up question for you. Do you own this game on Steam or separately on the Ubisoft launcher? I own it on Steam and I was able to just download it and play. No need for additional setup. I launch the game, log in to my Ubi account, and then every launch from then on just goes into the game.

The DualSense Edge works with Steam Input which allows you to remap all the buttons, including the back buttons and FN buttons. The gyro and trackpads are also fully customizable just like on the Steam Deck. This means touch and radial menus work great on the trackpad.

Yes. They have mentioned that it charges faster.
