I’ve used them for custom radial menus and for moving the mouse cursor on games with no proper controller support, but I never use it on games with controller support; I would also like to know what other people use them for.

Try them in an FPS. You may be surprised how much more accurate the trackpad can be for aiming versus an analog stick.

I’ve tried, and I can’t get used to it. Actually I started using gyro for aiming, and that feels a lot better.

Fair, maybe it just isn’t for you.

But ultimately, the point is: the Deck is the only one of these handhelds with the trackpads. If you don’t use them, maybe it doesn’t matter, but it doesn’t change the fact that the Deck is the only such handheld capable of playing games with no controller support.
