I mean he's being really extreme about it but he's not exactly wrong. The touchpads on my Deck are more of an annoyance than help because of my smaller hands. I can only remember using it in one game and disabled in others because of how my hands would accidentally brush against them so I would love it if they had a touchpad-less version.

I'd think that you could set them to whatever in Steam Input, if you're playing a Steam game.

You can set the touchpads to nothing in their menu. Just delete the command in settings and that will solve it for you...

I believe that you can have per-game settings, so just enable them for that one game you want.
