Reply to comment by Muzzy637 in Valve answers our burning Steam Deck questions — including a possible Steam Controller 2 by retroanduwu24

They take some getting used to, but I now find the trackpads far superior over joysticks and really wouldn't want to go back to a controller without trackpads now.

Any recommended games for trying them out?

I mostly play vampire survivors as of late.

I am not sure what Vampire Survivors is, but single player first person games and usually good. Things with an open world where you can mess around and take your time. Right touch pad with gyro is insanely good for aiming. If you want help with configs and finding setups that work for you, r/steamcontroller is a great community for that.

Vampire survivors is a GOTY nominee roguelike game that came out this year. It’s crazy addictive and fun with an awesome developer. The controls are incredibly forgiving and you can play it on touchscreen lol.

I’ve tried them on fallout 4 a little bit, and they’re pretty well integrated on the steam deck.

But turn the gyro sensitivity way down! It should be at one of the bottom 3 settings; the default is way too high.

Flick the right trackpad to get mostly lined up with the target, then tap and hold to cancel the inertial drift and enable the gyro. With the gyro sensitivity low, you'll be able to rapidly twist the controller to make fine corrections to the inaccuracies of the flick, and perfectly line up your shot. Can get ~80-90% the accuracy of mouse aiming with some practice.

it should be vastly superior to a stick on anything that requires u to aim.
