This guy will have to wait for his younger brother.
It was available to buy starting noon local time. I refreshed the page until the buy option became available, but kept getting an error when submitting payment. Waited about half an hour and now it's sold out. Ni modo I guess.
the community creates a lot of custom layouts too, so you just need to scroll down the list and find one. The default ones also generally work pretty well and are easy to modify. It's just like changing your controls in any pc game.
Id hazard a guess that while the majority of people don't change their controls, those sort of people also don't tend to buy a steam controller.
I'm completely familiar with community layouts as a steam deck user.
The point for those to me is creating controls when a developer does not have them themselves.
I have been using specialty peripherals for multiple decades, starting from when they used serial and peripheral ports. I'm quite aware of being able to bind buttons from flight sticks, yokes and other devices in games in many different ways. I still can't find a good use case in any game i've played for those touchpads though, especially not if I have an R4/L4 and back paddles (because cardinal direction keybinds are an easy 'oh it's x extra buttons!')
Would be awesome if someone could chime in with actual examples of how they are so awesome in a game like crimson desert, pragmata, stardew valley, dynasty warriors origins, nioh 3, monster hunter wilds, or even games that aren't really controller games like cyber knights: fliashpoint or factorio or something.
I know some people use the trackpads for games that really ought to use a mouse and keyboard like non-controller FPS games, and RTS games... but I still don't see a real reason why I would want to try and suffer through trackpads intead of a real mouse or even a trackball mouse on a couch htpc scenario.
I've been using it a lot in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. I use the trackpad in the inventory and map and similar menus, and the gyro for aiming when holding the left trigger.
That game was particularly annoying however as it disables mouse and keyboard inputs when it detects a gamepad button press or joystick... so I had to spend about an hour mapping all the controls to the keyboard and mouse output from the controller via steam input, despite the game having native DS5 support (that support completely ignores the trackpad and gyro 🤦)
