My fingers naturally rest on the back buttons, and I find them really easy to use. I usually have them set to mirror the face buttons for shooters (so I don’t have to take my finger off of the right stick to jump/reload/etc). In some other games I have them set as dpad buttons (Elden ring for example) to swap gear and use items.
Finally I don’t like button mashing, so in games where you have to mash a button I will often set the back buttons to be turbo buttons, where I can hold to spam a key.
the back buttons got a lot easier for me when I realized you’re supposed to push the flat part of the buttons on the back of the deck instead of where they curve around the grips. like, if the deck was sitting flat on a table you’d be pressing straight up instead of to the right or left.
bind the top two to the thumbstick clicks and finally be free of those terrible inputs
Ixion seems to require them. It’s playable on Steam Deck, but probably much easier on PC with a mouse.
I’m curious how people use the 4 buttons on the back. My ring and pinkie fingers can just barely press them.
