[Discussion] Favorite and least favorite things about your steam deck
Been thinking about getting a steam deck. Talk me in or out of it. I’ve got a desktop, but thinking something handheld would be good when I want to sit on the couch. What are your favorite and least favorite things about your steam deck?
For me:
Positives: It runs Linux, I am a big Linux fan so this is a big plus for me because it helps advance Linux gaming. It has better emulation capability than almost anything else. It's more affordable than alternatives. It has great battery life vs power especially for emulation. It has enough power it can handle almost any game you can think of running at least at 30 FPS. It's pretty comfortable despite it's large size (that's what she said).
Negatives: Mine had a stuck B button despite them saying Q2 2022 units would have it fixed, I had to sand down the edge of the case where the button would get stuck, sliding the 240 grit sandpaper back and forth between the button and the case with. Mine has the noisy Delta fan, this isn't a huge problem honestly I don't even find it that noticable but it may bother some people to varying degrees. It's a bit bulky, but it's also understandable and the large screen is pretty nice.
It's my favourite gaming handheld device I have ever had. I'd absolutely recommend one.
I gotta admit, two of my friends who pre-ordered on a whim and ended selling theirs had perfect units, and I was looking forward to mine so much and would never sell it, I was the one to get a "faulty" unit I was pretty angry lol.
With that said, after I fixed the button, it's now been the perfect device for me.
