Depending on what I’m doing, not at all or religiously.
If I’m just doing edits in Bridge, Camera Raw, or Lightroom, I actually mapped my controller’s buttons using JoyToKey so that I’ve now got an incredibly fast workflow for those. If I’m using Photoshop, Illustrator, or playing games, that vertical mouse is my best friend and an absolute game-changer.
I used JoyToKey for years, but I’ll add that you can make a desktop binding for steam, if you keep it on in the background anyways
It’s a bit more complex macro system and you can use on screen menus and such if that’ll improve your workflow. I used a gamepad as my mouse for almost 5 years in everything I did.
Yeah, I’d really have been far less picky about which handheld I bought if it weren’t for getting Adobe CC for free through work and my cousin wanting to play Star Citizen. I’d instead be rocking whatever flavor of Linux made me feel good, just like I am on my home server and my old Chromebook.
All that being said, I really do love the vertical mouse. There’s something incredibly satisfying about having a pistol-grip and using my trigger-finger to pelt the opposition in Halo followed by a middle-finger-activated melee. Plus, the thumb placement for the scroll wheel just feels superb in any situation.
I’d give the Lenovo Legion Go a solid 9/10 if it were running Linux, lol. For now, it’s gotta settle for my 7.5 since I gotta deal with Microsoft popping up some ridiculous alert every other 30 seconds because I don’t wanna log into stuff.
I ended up getting a steam deck after being an owner of multiple GPD products and dealing with windows on those. I considered a Go, but I’m done with windows handhelds. I hope either steamOS catches on as a mainstream or all the other hardware manufacturers get together and decide to all use Linux.
I tried Linux on a GPD Win 2, it was a such a nightmare that I’m not interested in any handhelds that dont COME with Linux either. I want proper driver support and not be forced to spend hours and hours diagnosing why my screen is either sideways or only showing half
That’s a very fair point. And to your credit, the screen on the LeGo is natively portrait, which really screws me over in some highly specific scenarios.
