I'm kind of surprised that they aren't doing Steam Deck-style trackpads. I mean, it probably saves some money, but it seems like a major drawback if the point is "run Windows games on the platform".

    I don't care to look it up, but I would suspect that Valve has a patent on their trackpads in the context of a handheld console. It might be difficult or impossible for anyone else to try to utilize the same concept.

    They don't, both the Lenovo Legion Go and the AYANEO Kun have a touchpad.
    Microsoft must be woefully afraid of alternative input methods. I fully believe this thing wouldn't even have a Gyro if it wasn't building off the previous ROG Ally.
