@scottalanmiller I need to look into this. Do you have to use a steam controller? How does that work? I typically use the Xbone dongle and controller on PC if I'm not using my mouse and keyboard.
You can attach things with USB. But we have four Steam controllers already. It has several USB ports and a Bluetooth option so you have ways to connect other controllers.
I need to try out one of those steam controllers when I come over. It's something I've wanted to try out for awhile. I've heard that there is a huge curve to getting used to them, but once you do it's the only way to play. I assume you like them since you own four?

We like them a lot. They let you do a lot of gaming stuff that other controllers do not. Definitely a learning curve, though.

@scottalanmiller this is the article that got me thinking about one. I've just never pulled the trigger.

It has to be pretty different because it emulated the mouse and keyboard controllers, not just a keyboard. The haptic feedback is really impressive.

I think I'd really grow to love it for FPS games. One of the reasons I hardly play them is because my desk space is cramped and not at all adequate for competitive FPS. Using a regular controller just ends up getting me getting destroyed so it's not even fun at that point.

It's still not a full mouse, but it can be pretty good. We use it for a lot of adventure games that can't be played any other way.

I broke down and bought PUBG... It's not even on sale. I hopped into a friends discord channel and it sounded like they were having way too much fun so I finally pulled the trigger.

A million people are playing a game I've never heard of? This is how you know you are old.

Don't worry, I hadn't heard of it until this month. You're still old though.

Don't starve is a pretty hard game. I'm impressed
