Wut? No seriously I would like to hear your argument? For me I'm a billion times faster and preciser on twin joysticks.

Of course I know this is probably a case of "what works for me" and "what works for you" are totally different.
The argument here is one of relative vs absolute motion. With joysticks, you specify the speed at which you want your "pointer" (can be a camera) to move, while with a mouse/trackpad, you specify where to move (by directly setting a relative motion, so the terms are a bit inadequate). This is unarguably much better, since that's what you really want (set the position to a precise location).
Not always, for example try circle-strafing and aiming. Of course with the configurability of the Steam Controller there are workarounds for this: View video on youtube.com

Is Anti Aliasing working for (any of) you guys? The in-game settings have no effect. Nor is trying to override it. :S:

I'm using the Nvidia v370.28 driver under Arch.

Edit: While I wait for a reply. It seems DSR [External Link] works and helps a little bit with the jaggies. To enable, use the -ResX & -ResY [External Link] launch options to double the width and height of your screens native resolution.

Quoting: edoSo MS doesnt consider SteamOS as a console? I cant blame them, I still down know what that is lol
Well Sony were able to claim the PS3 as a PC for tax reasons by including (for a limited time) the other OS feature. I which case Steam Machines have an even stronger case for the same claim.
