i used to use the Wii U Gamepad a Lot and found it also to be quiet comfortable and the Steam Deck is ergonomically way better so yes. also is the Dual Sense not as comfortable for my Hands due to the tips on the grips that are a bit too pointy, the SD has there the Tapered edges which help with the feel in the hands.

i know the pain too well, but you will forget it quite fast after you get your deck ans start playing
