LOL I was just about to post that this video's gonna get taken down soon for breaching some sort of NDA. ...then I saw that it's Valve's official YouTube channel. Holy poo poo, good on them.

hell yeah, easy to replace the thumbsticks. that's huge considering the state of modern joystick drift.

Good on them for making the thumbsticks an easy job. I do wonder how much replacements will end up costing, though.

Yeah, the indented touch pad was absolutely loving horrible for serious use like 2D platformers and action games. I quite like the Deck's layout though, I'd be perfectly happy to keep that and just transplant it to a controller instead of swapping out parts (but keep that too, for replacing busted components).

That's the first time I've heard someone say that unscrewing a case damages the structural integrity of said case Is it because of stuff like not torquing the screws to spec when reassembling?

They actually dig into the plastic and cut through it. I imagine they might loosen the screw hole each time they are removed and reinserted.

Yeah, the Deck layout is a nice in-between point with 3 control sets on each side as opposed to the 2 of any other controller, Steam or otherwise. Looking forward to trying it. The Deck's pads seem to have lost click-ability altogether, hope both will still be at least one button each even if not a full dpad each as in the Steam controller.

I'm curious why they wouldn't have kept the clicks less touch pads, that's kinda a shame. I mean, you basically don't need them anymore but I'm sure someone would find uses for them. Ugh, I'm loving dying waiting for this thing. I need it. I haven't been this excited for a device in a really long time.

Doctor_Fruitbat posted:Valve, I am begging you. I realize it's not really what you're asking for, but the Steam Deck basically is just that. It should be usable as a controller attached to another PC (if not out of the box, then with some software). The touchscreen itself might end up usable too, a-la the Wii U.

Apparently they can work if you run the Windows Steam client in Wine, but the Linux Steam client just doesn't support CEG generation at all.

Hard to say, SteamDB doesn't let you search games that have the cegpublickey attribute. I noticed for Space Marine and XCOM: The Bureau because I was looking through my library on ProtonDB, I'm sure there are others. It turns out the dorks who rate games on that site give things a Silver rating if you have to download the crack because CEG isn't supported.

As far as I know publishers can still turn CEG on if they want. And they don't have any incentive go go back and turn it off because it is a free service provided by Steam, unlike e.g. Denuvo.

The Github issue on CEG lists a lot of the games that might not work on the Steam Deck.

The goal is to run every game, so CEG support is on the todo list. Just hasn’t risen to the top yet. I’m pretty sure CEG hasn’t been available to publishers for a long while, which is part of why it hasn’t been supported yet. Not a lot of demand for those older games relative to other priorities.

I'm excited for this thing for all sorts of reasons, but one of the biggest is that whenever travel goes back to some sense of normality, I'll be able to cut my travel kit down to a steam deck, an ipad+keyboard and a phone. I used to lug a powerful laptop everywhere and it was always a pain having to get it out every time I passed through security. It will be sweet to have this on flights and then dock it hotel tvs or whatever.
