What do you use the back buttons for?
What do you use the back buttons for?
I have really been loving my steam deck lately. I've now played through Fallout 3, New Vegas, all of their respective DLCs, and am about 100hrs into 4 right now.
Normally I play indie games since that's where my interests are and I grow tired of the AAA jackassery.
I mention that to illustrate that I do use and live the deck. But I guess I'm not creative enough to use the back buttons at all. So to the title question:
-
What games do you play that make the most use of the back buttons?
-
What functions are mapped to those buttons?
-
Or are you like me and just never use them?

It varies per game, but my most common use is to replace the thumbstick clicks. I don't like how it feels to click in the thumb sticks, feels like I'm adding extra wear and tear to them.
In first person games, I'll often bind jump, sprint, reload, and melee to the back buttons so I can move and aim while performing those actions.
