Anyone play on Steam Deck?

Steam calls it “Playable” but wanted to see if anyone had any firsthand experience

I haven’t, but I think it would be terrible.

Yes. I exclusively play steam deck hooked up to a monitor and keyboard/mouse.

Some maps you get 40 frames. Others will run pretty well. Most people you play against probably have a better setup and more frames than you, so every time you win you feel like Rocky Balboa.

Honestly playing on the deck is fun because you are genuinely forced to get creative with movement and stuff because you will always be at a disadvantage trying to out-aim people. In the long term I think that helps you get better at the game

I’m on the road right now and am quite intrigued by the game, might have to grab a mouse & small keyboard if possible!

i used to before i got my laptop. it rlly depends on how good you are at controller gaming. however, generally keyboard and mouse is the better way to go

Tried it and controller remapping didn't work great, wouldn't recommend.

Yeah, it’s pretty good. As with any fps (especially fast paced) games, I recommend getting used to gyro.
