An Asus ROG Ally X running Bazzite has all but replaced the Steam Deck in my life.

    That’s why I loved the steam controllers…

      I really love the deck’s layout, the original steam controller only having one analogue stick killed it in my opinion. I could never get used to trackpads joystick emulation in games that were designed for an Xbox controller.

        Valve leaked a Steam Controller 2 thumbnail in their SteamVR drivers recently:

            Honestly I said the same about the Deck when I bought it… Fast forward 1 and half year later, my playtime is now 99% on the Deck 😅.

              I haven’t seen one of these in person. Is it roughly the size of a Sega Game gear?

                The screen is roughly the size of a Game Gear. (Not my photo.)

                    I just wish more people knew how to use it. All I did was search DDG for Steam Deck Game Gear size comparison.

                if there is anyone still alive to make the comparison for you they are probably too busy celebratinng their second grandchild

                  Those are fighting words, and also pretty inaccurate unless you’re from Louisiana or something

                    haha. I am old enough that I could have had one if my family wasn’t really bad with money. I just never knew anyone else that had it either

            I’m going to guess it’s scaled so it’s basically like holding the Deck today, minus the screen. It’s a render and possibly a render of an older prototype.

          I already build a Bazzite PC. Just waiting on this to turn it into a proper Steam Deck on crack.
