    First, that’s your personal usecase. Second, they’re very handy in some games were you have to select an area for example or when you’re in desktop mode. I haven’t used them that much either but they are useful.

      Have you used both or just one of them like you would a laptop touchpad? I think the tiny touchpad of the Lenovo can probably do this as well.

        I use both very often. Especially as a custom menu for emulator settings, or in older PC games or games with a lot of Keyboard/Mouse controls, they help me make things far more comfortable with various custom popup menus, or sometimes jumping to a mouse region to select UI options while playing. They are also helpful for games with horrid controls/hotkeys that won’t fitnon a traditional amount of controller buttons. They also help with mouse precision when an analog stick won’t do.

        I also use the back buttons a lot. I use the entire Steam Deck and the custom controller settings are basically a necessity.
