Looks like you can completely wipe the Steam OS from it and install whatever you'd like. That's kinda interesting.

Feburary 2021: steam abandons steam deck because the community wouldn't do the work for them. Like steam link, steam os, steam controller, and vr. Now be a good boy and buy those new lootboxes full of community mods. And make sure you spend more in the steam sale to hit that next reward! And don't pay attention as we pave the way in china, it's only bad if epic or blizzard do that.

It looks cool, but I'm worried about the stick placement. Reaching over the dpad to use the sticks looks like it's gonna involve a lot of finger strain. It just doesn't look comfortable. Similar problem with the buttons, the A button is right on the edge of the console.

I get that you need the mousepads, and it makes sense since Valve have been trying to make that magic happen for years now. But there's gotta be some sort of compromise for the sake for ergonomics.

But I don't have to make this mistake, and I don't have to stay this way.

Windows or Steam OS?

edit:

On Steam Deck, your games run on a different operating system than the one on your desktop PC. It's a new version of SteamOS, built with Steam Deck in mind and optimized for a handheld gaming experience. It comes with Proton, a compatibility layer that makes it possible to run your games without any porting work needed from developers.

so this makes it sound like all Windows games will work seamlessly? if so that's fucking RAD

64GB for the 399 version? Dead on arrival. That can fit maybe one AAA game lol. Half of some.
right? hell MK 11 with DLC wouldn't even fit on there.

Seems like one of those things that looks like it'll be a good idea in the development phase, but it'll have some critical flaw that'll keep it from having mass appeal.

  1. These companies need to get with the times. 64 GB base model? There are games that are well over that.
  2. that thing looks really uncomfortable. The button layout is atrocious.

I'm pretty sure they runs lots of ergonomic tests to get the button placement to what it is now.

But time will tell if they got it right.

i feel like the button placement thing could be surprisingly good in end after trying it. don't need to cover as much area with your thumbs moving compared to other controllers/nintendo switch.

could suck though.

People are neglecting that AAA Switch games are much smaller than AAA PC games. The $400 version can hold like 1 game, Hell many games it cant.

Also WTF is that button placement?! Seems so easy to accidentally drop it.

Wait, so we can hook this up to the TV like a Switch, and I can finally play on my TV all the games that aren't on the current gen on consoles? Big-screen modded Sonic Adventure?

If so, that's pretty sweet.
