DISCLAIMER: I am overall very satisfied with my purchase, I just have questions/concerns I’d like to share.
The Switch and a couple other portable PC handhelds have the control sticks a bit lower from the top of the device. The way it is designed on the Deck forces my thumbs to reach up a bit causing some discomfort. Having them be diagonally apart from eachother instead of having them be symmetrical I think would increase comfort. I constantly find my self stretching my fingers up to hold the system properly, maybe my hands are just small.
Does anyone actually use the haptic trackpads? If those didn’t exist I feel as though the control sticks could be moved down and rearranged. Shoving the control sticks way to the top of the device to spare some room for the trackpads seems strange to me. Although I’m making an assumption, I believe I’m correct in saying most people don’t use them.
I absolutely use the trackpads every day. I use my deck a lot in desktop mode and those are extremely comfortable as your mouse and scroll wheel, the joysticks are in a decent position for my hands, they could be better but not by much so I’m fine with where they are.
