It’s a night and day experience for fps games, I don’t know why I turned it off.

Playing the bf6 beta (Moonlight), I had fun but was frustrated, and finally accepted to try the gyro, and when fined tuned its a completely different experience.

Activating it with left trigger (so only when aiming), sensitivity to max to pick up smallest movements, increasing overall sensibility a bit and decreasing vertical sensibility makes it perfect.

Just thought I should share, to maybe change other people’s mind on it !

Due to the high volume of very similar posts asking what r/SteamDeck users were playing, this weekly megathread has been created to have a singular place to hold this very frequent discussion and limit duplicate posts. Feel free to share what you have been playing on your Steam Deck or even post pictures in this thread and show us if you wish!

In my opinion, the literal best platform in terms of controls to play Kingdom Come Deliverance on is Steam and a controller, be it on PC, Steam Deck, Ally, Legion Go, etc.

I personally play on my Steam Deck and swear by it.

I have customized the controls solely through the Steam controller layout. I made my Left Trigger act as both my Lockpick activator (you need to enable simplified lockpicking in the settings menu for this) and Block button (assigned LB to LT), I put the Crouch button (Left Stick click) on the Right Stick click instead, assigned B (Run) to both my Left Stick click (along with enabling the toggle function so I can Trot/Sprint without holding the button down) and the Bottom Right Back button (to make it easier to start a Gallop since it requires a pretty quick double press of the B button), I assigned the Left Trigger to the Bottom Left Back button (all I use it for is for Kicking during fist fights), A to the Top Left Back button for Interaction, and X to the Top Right Back button for Jumping. The Left Track Pad is assigned to Dpad Left, making it both my Melee Sheathe when pressed and pullout my Torch when held for a couple seconds, while my Right Track Pad is assigned as a Directional Swipe Up for Dpad Up (Map Screen), Directional Swipe Down for Dpad Down (Inventory Screen), and pressing it will Unsheathe my Bow, or Dpad Right.

With all these changes, it feels almost identical to KCD2 minus the few system tweaks they made to 2, like combat, and when sprinting on foot you still have to turn with the Left Stick, but otherwise, for me it's like one big continuous story that feels almost identical to play now, and yeah. I love these games, I've been playing nothing but KCD1 and 2 pretty much all year.

The biggest bonus to using the Steam Deck for me, is with all those Back buttons, my thumbs almost never have to leave the Sticks, save for Calling/ Climbing my horse, pulling out a Torch or opening a menu. For me at least, this makes these games the most immersive they could be without being ported to vr.

And, with some minor differences, like both Bumpers being on the Bottom Back buttons instead of LT or B being put on the Top Right Back button for Jumping and minor differences in how I use the Track Pads or that X was made the Sheathe button in KCD2, I'm able to keep the controls pretty much consistent between both games.

The biggest reason I've made this little guide is because I can see the controls being somewhat of a deterrent to a player coming from 2 to 1. Obviously this guide is specifically tuned for the Steam Deck, but most of these should be transferable settings to any other device utilizing Steam or Steam OS, you just might have a few less buttons to work with.

Additionally, I have also managed to get the game running better than on any other platform I personally ever played it on, save a PC, at 30 FPS (because my preference with games like this is the cinematic feeling), graphics are pretty much all medium (save for shaders which I set to low because I can hardly tell the difference and it was another performance boost) because on the deck in particular I didn't see huge differences in image look/quality when it was any higher.

With the Decky plugin Power Tools, set CPU MHz to 2400 maximum, and GPU MHz to 1100 maximum.

This made my performance only drop below 30 in the absolute heaviest areas, but even then, once assets all load in and things stabilize after a few seconds (you know how KCD1 is), even Rattay and the main area of Sasau are mostly a stable experience.

WARHORSE! YOU MADE MY FAVORITE 2 GAMES OF ALL TIME AND NOTHING COMES EVEN CLOSE ANYMORE! LET ME WORK FOR YOU!!!

Traveling alone with my young son for the first time, left the steak deck on the plane and didn’t realize it til I was driving away from the airport. I convinced myself it was permanently gone. Maybe a kid finds it whatever.

Just left it under the seat in front of me, I guess in a rush to not keep people waiting behind me.

Put in the southwest lost and found ticket, got a confirmation email, then 72 hours still no sign, then a text 4 days later saying we found an item. Paid the 40 bucks shipping and it’s headed back.

I was about to try to hold out til steam deck 2, guess that won’t be necessary.

Either way, at some point in its journey, any one person could have decided to be wack, and they chose otherwise. Tiny bit of faith restored.

I’m forever shuffling my Deck library and I’m curious what everyone else keeps installed no matter what.

My current top 3:

• GTA IV — pure nostalgia vibes. Runs nicely with a couple tweaks (and that taxi fix).
• Motor Town: Behind The Wheel — super chill driving/delivery sim that’s perfect for short sessions.
• Elden Ring — still wild to play something this huge on a handheld.

What are your top 3 right now, and why?

Would love it if you also have any underrated hidden gems that more Deck owners should try.
