Comfort or not you can just do it. I’ve done it plenty. It’s a viable option
Comment on Switch 2 mouse mode (such potential)
tkohldesac@lemmy.world 2 days agoI agree with everything except #5. If you want to play couch multiplayer for the switch with two people you’re set with the tiny joycons. If you want any comfort playing those games you’re investing in at LEAST as many controllers as you have couch players and the same can be said about the deck. But the Deck has options and years of hardware options that are far more inexpensive than the $90 joycons or $80 pro controllers at launch. Given time I’m sure there may be options for the S2 but I think the Deck has far more inexpensive options for multiplayer.
That said, the deck dock is expensive so maybe my argument is entirely moot.

The offical dock is $80, but you can get the Baseus Dock for between $30 and $40.

A 10usd Chinese knockoff Bluetooth controller works well enough for multi-player. The true little brother experience is to play with the shitty controller.
For the steam deck, you’d have to buy 2 controllers (potentially both shitty), so the benefit for the switch is still there.

So buy 2 $10 controllers for the steam deck and still save money since the switch costs $50 more to begin with.
