Argh! And yet we who only want the damn controller have been waiting since spring!? An the effing estimate is still 2027!

• Sektori (steam)
• Tomb Raider GOTY (GOG)
• Stardew Valley (GOG)
• F-Zero GX on the Dolphin emulator

I’ve discovered that I’m tired and bored of the new AAA titles, so I’ve been playing the old stuff more and more.

I own a bunch of Casio watches and I do like all of them. I just wish there was a G-Shock that had all the useful features and a few bonus ones.

This would be the ultimate G-Shock for me:

• Form factor of a G-Shock GW-M5610
• Solar charging
• Multiband 6 (a.k.a. radio time sync)
• World time (UTC zone for server logs and the like, I too use this often)
• 24h count down timer
• 2 Separate stopwatches
• Daily alarms with a short message
• DD.MM date
• Step counter
• TOPT code generator for MFA

I’d really like the watch to have a step counter, since it motivates me to go outside and exercise. I don’t need any fitness tracking or heart rate monitoring, since I’m not an athlete. HR sensors tend to make the fitness watches bulkier, ugly and power hungy. The solar charging and multiband time syncing make the watch just so effortless. The watch is always on time and doesn’t need battery changes. The GW-M6510 already has these and I love it! 24h timer would be nice, since most Casios are limited to 60m timer. Two separate stopwatches, since split time does not always cut it, If i need to time some multitasking. Most Casios have 5 daily alarms, I just wish I could attach a short message for those, and use them as more versalite reminders. And the MFA TOPT code is obvious for any IT job today.

I’ve had the Deck for 10 months now. Mostly I tend to play in handheld mode, but I do play alot in “couch mode” too. I have the following controllers at my disposal, all these work with the Deck:

• Steam Controller
• 8Bitdo NES30 Pro
• Nintendo Switch Pro Controller
• Logitech F710

The Steam Controller is a bit meh, since it only has one analog stick and no D-pad at all. It’s good for games that require mouse control, but other than that I only use it for couch multiplayer games when all other controllers are taken.

8Bitdo is good for D-pad games, so mostly emulators and couch multiplayers.

Nintendo Switch Pro Controller This is the most comfortable gamepad that I currently own. I would use it more on the couch, but usually it is paired with the Switch and it is too much of a pain to change the pairing over to the Deck.

So my most used controller on the couch is the F710. If it is currently working for you, no need to change it. I would wait for Valve to release an updated version of the Steam Controller and get that when the time is right.
