Not most users, not even as Valve intended (on the Deck, at least).
They literally reserved the green “Verified” badge for games with full controller support and are the only ones eligible for the “Great on Deck” tab. Mouse and Keyboard games get the yellow “Playable” tag instead and a warning on boot.
See, that’s the sad part about actually looking things up. It takes time, people get to nitpick it to death and then some guys will just… you know, say stuff.
It means official full controller support with the default config. There are few games that provide official controller support over Steam Input in the first place, even fewer that have any touchpad custom inputs by default and I’m not even sure if there are any that are Steam Verified. At a glance it’s… what, just Rimworld again? Maybe some first party stuff left over from the Steam Machines fiasco? Sims is only Playable. Civ VII, which you called out earlier, I suspect incorrectly, has official all-stick support, what with having launched on consoles day and date. I haven’t checked it because I haven’t bought it yet, so if I’m wrong let me know. Civ VI doesn’t have default controller support, but it’s only Playable as well. In fact, if you have a list of verified games with touchpad default support I’d love to see it. I’m genuinely curious.
Look, you get to live in this very specific alternate reality where the only difference is people love dual touchpads as a main input system. That’s fine, you’re not hurting anybody. I get hung up on it because blatant misrepresentations on social media are fairly upsetting these days and because I’m still not over having had to use the dumb touchpads on the Vive for a couple of years back there.
But man, is it exhausting to watch it act as a proxy of some much more important crap in real time.
Alrighty, then! If you say so
continues enjoying keyboard and mouse games on Steam Deck like most users, as Valve intended

“Touchpads bad! I did homework and it factually said so!! Stop having fun!!!” 😂 You just look foolish
You already proved my point yourself lmao, these games are 100% playable on Steam Deck because of the success of the touchpads
