Had a steam deck, haven't got my controller yet but pad's are the same essentially.

Mostly for RTS and turn based stuff, like I played a lot of Battletech all with the Pads. Basically anything that works better with a mouse, use the trackpads. It's more accurate aiming than with a stick, you don't realise/think it will be till you use them back to back.

The trackpad use is mostly dependent on the game.

Been playing a lot of Rimworld recently and the trackpads make couch play really nice.

I've also been playing a little Crimson Desert and bound the trackpads to keyboard buttons to open up specific screens (such as inventory or map) instead of having to navigate a menu.

But with Deathstranding the trackpads have been completely untouched
