It won’t be perfect or good for precision mouse stuff

See, the problem is that the precision is essential.

Have you tried playing We Are Football with an otherwise excellent controller with hall effect sticks and everything, with the Steam input settings on the most mouselike possible?

It's like trying to type with winter gloves on: possible to do if absolutely necessary, but it's going to be a very slow and frustrating experience with a lot of missing.

On an unrelated topic, I used to work with someone who could type just fine with winter gloves on. She would do this all thentime because the office was so cold.

Sadly not, first time I’ve heard of it.

I’m still rocking my OG Steam Controller so I still use that for anything mouse-related on the couch.

What about a trackball mouse?

What about a trackball mouse?

Would still need to be on a flat surface, so the poor ergonomics problem would still persist
