       @gamingonlinux How's the D-pad? I don't see a lot of reviews talking about it. Have you tried any 2D platformers or fighting games, say?

       @gamingonlinux Yeah, trying to order, and Steam is saying there are problems proceeding with the transaction.  Clearly under quite heavy load..

       @gamingonlinux Managed to snag one with 3-5 days delivery. Was able to put it in the cart a few minutes before official time, and then had to re-try to actually place the order until 4 minutes past 😅

       @gamingonlinux Personally holding off for now but being a Steam Deck owner I see the potential this thing has.

       @gamingonlinux I tried to checkout a 18:00:02 and have failed to complete my order because the payment system is busy.  10 day delivery now, think I'll leave it a few weeks.

       @gamingonlinux Steam having payment processing issues.  Did they learn nothing from the disaster that was the Steam Deck launch day?

       @gamingonlinux Can't place an order right now. I reckon this is a tremendous success.

       @gamingonlinux time to wait. Besides, hopefully more firmware updates will come by the time its available for more people. I will personally wait for a sale on it, so maybe a year or so. Or who knows maybe this year's winter sale

       @gamingonlinux A good read,! You mention quite a few potential setups in various games, but for someone who hasn't used more than a traditional Xbox controller before, it's difficult to visualize how the control would actually look in-game. I'd love to see a video where you showed potential setups and how the movement of the controller translated to in game. Maybe something like a screencap of the controller being configured followed by a full screen capture of the game with a small corner overlay showing your hands on the controller as you play.An example is when you talked about using the gyro controls(??) in FPS games. I'm not asking for a longer more detailed explanation of this in words. I'd just love to SEE what this looks like as I haven't used gyro controls before.

       @gamingonlinux I hadn't realized that the trackpad was clickable! (I understood that when I saw the screenshot of its settings.)
