PSA: you can easily recalibrate the triggers on the Steam Deck

A few days ago I noticed a new problem with my right trigger: it wouldn't press all the way down with the normal force I apply, I had to press extra hard for it to actually go over the treshold and become a click. This became an issue in a few games, like Days Gone.

If you search for this issue you'll see it super common, but people's solutions are "scrape the shell with a knife around the trigger" and that's absolutely not the right advice. Quick and easy, here's how you fix it:

• Go to desktop mode
• Open Konsole and type: trigger_cal
• Follow the on-screen instructions. The tool will tell you to release both triggers and press A, then, fully depress and release the left trigger, then the right trigger, then press A again. Done.

Reboot and your triggers will use the new treshold values. That's it, problem solved.
