    How are you playing FTL on the deck? Are you using the track pads or a custom controller setup? I struggled to find an easy way to play with the controller.

      I’m using a custom controller setup. Search for “mitsein’s very good ftl control scheme” or something similar to find my setup. I use the right track pad as the mouse, left trigger is pause, right trigger is right click, d-pad is weapons 1-4, left stick controls hyperdrive and ship menu, and the right side buttons control going to assigned stations. Takes some getting used to but I spent a lot of time perfecting it and it works well now.

      I find the track pad is best used with the pointer finger instead of the thumb. I like to play games like this by laying the device flat on a desk or in front of me lying on the couch and using my pointer finger without having to hold the device up with my hand at the same time.
