I didn’t think I would use the trackpads much, but now that I have them, I can’t move to a handheld that doesn’t have them. They are just too convenient.

I want to upgrade my steam deck, but I am not big on upping the resolution, nor would I choose to go to 16:9 over 16:10. Add to that the 140$ price point (which is probably a totally fair price, just not worth it for me), and this is a hard pass for me.

This is the only way I would upgrade my shipment 2 steam deck. At current prices, the OLED is a great deal, just not quite a compelling enough upgrade for me to pull the trigger.

If not this, then I will be eagerly waiting for whatever the true second gen steam deck will be.

I have a Q2 2022 model. I don't have any hard data, but it feels about the same to me.

Completely agree! When this bad boy gets retired it is getting disassembled and placed in a shadow box for display.

The steamdeck seriously changed my perspective of what power I need for a computer and convinced me that I can continue to run my 1080ti for at least a few more years.

I think so. But it would be hard and I would be surprised if anyone besides Valve could pull it off.

I have a second batch steam deck and still play it often. I wish it had a slightly bigger OLED screen. I think the 16x10 8inch equivalent is a good size.

There would also need to be a fairly decent CPU and GPU upgrade. As well as either an efficiency upgrade or a bigger battery. I think with enough time if we could get a decent arm CPU with good GPU performance, but that is likely not going to happen anytime soon, this could theoretically hit all of these requirements.

I would like to see hall effect sticks and triggers by default.

That could dethrone the steam deck. Especially if it had good linux support, either steam os or bazzite would be good for me.

Played this on steam remote play together. Worked well.
