Best Controls for Fast-Paced FPS Games on Steam Deck?

-

I’m really keen on playing fast-paced games like Payday 2 on my Steam Deck, but I’ve found it quite challenging. I’m curious about how you all manage to play these types of games. Do you prefer using a keyboard and mouse with a dock, or do you stick to the Steam Deck’s built-in controller? If you use the controller, do you set any special settings to improve your game? Thanks for your advice!

You might want to check out Doom; it’s a solid FPS that runs great on the Steam Deck. Plus, it’s super fast-paced and fun!

Using a mouse and keyboard definitely makes things easier for fast-paced shooters. Without aim assist, playing with just a controller can get really tough!

Honestly, if the game doesn’t have aim assist, I usually skip it on the controller. But hey, players have been using joysticks for years before mouse and keyboard became popular, so it’s not impossible!

Totally agree! I think it just takes practice with the controller.

I usually go for mouse and keyboard, but if you’re stuck with a controller, try using the gyro feature. It helps—use the right stick for quick movements and tilt the entire Steam Deck for more precise aiming.
