For all the problems the Steam controller had, trackpad precision was the one thing I never really heard people complain about. For this sort of game, I think it would be a very effective compromise to get it working on-the-go.

Of course, it's still just a computer at the end of the day. If you want to pair a Bluetooth mouse and play that way, that's your prerogative; I imagine that most people would be contented to use the touchpads out of convenience though.

The 'finicky' is from the default settings meant to work in as many games as possible. (Almost) Every game I tried I found some community-maintained controller profile that had near-perfect settings. I really love Steam's community. :D

Steam Controllers are my primary controllers. Precision is adjustable. They're super effective, in my opinion. From the sounds of it, you just prefer mice. But there's nothing finicky about them.
