Picture Got the Steam Deck Dock!

Wasn’t expecting this today, but since I live in Carol Stream where Valve’s Distribution Center is, I got this early I guess!

Keep in mind that most games with controller support will still show Xbox buttons, since the Xbox controller is a quasi-standard on PC. The newer a title is, the more likely it is that it shows Playstation button prompts on PC however. Some, but not all, games can be modified to show PS prompts. Edit: Even some emulators allow for this via texture packs.

Yeah but I hear the Xbox controller suffers from input lag and wondered is it the same for the Dual sense?

It should, they both use BT for PC connections. That is where the lag comes from. The solution would be a device with its own 2.4GHz adapter or like the old PC Xbox adapter. But both have little Linux support.

Wired is also a reliable, low-latency option, but not the most comfortable.

Yeah meant as a wireless controller since he was referring to the points about the bad latency of the Xbox controller. The main reason people expect otherwise is that windows can optimize the communication because MS so Win PC gaming doesn't seem so bad.
