  • IPv6 is pretty much identical to IPv4 in terms of functionality.

    The biggest difference is that there is no more need for NAT with IPv6 because of the sheer amount of IPv6 addresses available. Every device in an IPv6 network gets their own public IP.

    For example: I get 1 public IPv4 address from my ISP but 4,722,366,482,869,645,213,696 IPv6 addresses. That’s a number I can’t even pronounce and it’s just for me.

    There are a few advantages that this brings:

    • Any client in the network can get a fresh IP every day to reduce tracking
    • It is pretty much impossible to run a full network scan on this amount of IP addresses
    • Every device can expose their own service on their own IP (For example: You can run multiple web servers on the same port without a reverse proxy or multiple people can host their own game server on the same port)

    There are some more smaller changes that improve performance compared to IPv4, but it’s minimal.
















  • Doesn’t that impact your view of the screen?

    Depends on the sensitivity you configure, usually you only tilt a few degress. I do prefer it on a Dualsense controller though with no display attached to the controller.

    Do you use it in hectic situations - like doom etc? Or is it better for sniping and stuff where you have time to aim?

    Usually for instances where I have time to aim. I have seen quite a few people who are really good with the trackpad but I’m more of a mouse or gyro control guy.

    Trackpad rules in strategy games though.


  • I guess trackpad aim is just using the pads instead of the joystick?

    You can combine as well. I usually use the stick on the left hand and the trackpad on the right one. You can also go back and forth while playing.

    does that require tilting the device?

    Yep, you can set it to activate only if your finger is resting on the right joystick. Very useful for precise movement, just bring the camera in an approximate direction with the stick and do the rest with the gyro control.

    For the more popular games there’s usually a few community profiles you can download and try before messing with Steam Input yourself.
