To my fellow players, how do you handle raids with tons of activity? I’m struggling with keeping up with the on-screen action and not over focusing on the casting bar and timers. Does it just take time to figure out the cadence of the actions?

  1. I have the left trackpad mapped to trigger common and specially mapped keys (look up Steam Deck Radial Menus). Think; map, chocobo mount, macros. The keys are then set on a hidden hotbar so I can clear space from the screen.

Update on this, I tried it out and loved it. However, could not keep it as how my hand placement is on the Legion Go, I keep accidentally pressing the trackpad and activating mid battle. Can’t change the sensitivity jet, when I do change in SteamOS, nothing changes. Might be worked out in future versions. Great advice though for anyone who has a Steam Deck!
