Steam Deck Zoom Options

[ShadowBane]

So I am looking for the best way to zoom on Steam Deck.

What I have done is set the right trackpad so that a clockwise spin is zoom in and counterclockwise is zoom out.

Works well enough but I am wondering what other setup people are using.

i use the back paddle pad thingies to zoom in and out

Back paddles are nice. I have Map set to one of them.

How do you re map the controls? I'd love to use the back triggers

Launch the game. Press the steam button and select “controller”. Then edit the preset to enable back buttons and then assign whatever you want to them.

Awesome thanks buddy!

I use the back paddles for left / right click and the right trackpad as the mouse, pause + a duplicate a button for opening doors.

Having the zoom feature bound to the paddles kept my fingers moving since it requires multiple presses, and binding paddles to the other functions has improved my game dramatically and allowed me to play with auto zoom turned on.

Cool setup. I also tried assigning the zoom to the right pad. Clockwise to zoom in and counterclockwise to zoom out. It worked well but honestly gave up on it once I got used to bringing up the wheel to zoom.

Honestly this game works so good on Steam Deck that when I play on PC I actually prefer a controller over mouse & keyboard now (which I am also ashamed to admit).

My only complaint is the lack of cloud saves. But I actually like having two distinct games going now, so it actually isn’t a big deal.
