Could you just pair Nintendo joycons with the Deck? Or maybe the ones that come with that new Lenovo handheld?

[–] CrankyCarrot@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Yes you can, I regularly do this for multiplayer, however the Joycons are

  1. Thinner - much less comfortable. I can only play on the Switch for an hour before my hands are cramping and I don't have big hands
  2. Don't attach to the side of the Deck
  3. Won't charge easily - are there even any ways to charge without owning an entire Switch?
  4. Most importantly, no touchpads, no rear buttons. I use the touchpads more than the sticks so for me, no touchpads = no use

I also really love the Touchpads, and would love to use the deck (or my pc) on my tv with a controller similar to the steam deck controls, have you found one like that, because I haven't.
