I dunno what nanoUFO is aiming for, but for your use case, can’t do that with dual touchpads alone, then. You’re after a touchpad+gyro. Hmm.

searches a bit

It does look like there is at least one touchpad+gyro input device out there other than the Steam Controller.

That might take some remapping to glue the inputs to a given game, as I bet that it’s presenting itself to the system as a USB hub with an attached keyboard, gamepad, and touchpad.

That gamepad look like an ergonomical nightmare.

I mean I still have my Steam Controller but I wish they’d just rerelease the thing. For the 60 bucks back then it was an absolute bargain considering ehat you can do with it. And I have to say, it felt also really nice to hold with the kinda grip you’d have on it, which is really different.

Straight up the only controller that doesn’t give me hand/wrist fatigue. I was a little disappointed they didn’t try something similarly whacky with the ergonomics of the deck.
