I use Dualsense for controller which has a trackpad, but I can't imagine using it for anything other than the occasional click or two. Do you find them good enough for games? If so, which ones?

My absolute favourite thing about them is that they allow me to play games designed for mouse and keyboard from my bed! Like any old PC games (fallout, wasteland, baldurs gate, etc).

I don't play enough "first person" games to have any valuable input, but when I've played things like Elder Scrolls I've honestly preferred using the track pads for controlling the camera.

Interesting, thanks for sharing!
