Finding out there's going to be two times a week, but only sometimes, just makes the excitement worse. drat you, Steam Deck. I haven't really seen anyone talk about the build quality, which to me seems like a good thing. I own two Steam controllers (they were five bucks so don't judge me) and they both feel pretty cheap, like I'm going to break them just using them, so I haven't really used them at all. I assume the deck isn't like that? I pre-ordered the 64Gb model since I wanted to test the waters on this thing, but I sort of regret that now. Has anyone seen a comparison in how the models match up against each other?

The fan is a bit loud and high pitched under heavy load, but current models have another type of fan mounted which reportedly makes the sound less annoying and an OS update for custom fan ramping on the Deck is coming soon. Besides that there's praise all around for basically every part of the Deck, from really techy indepth reviewers like Gamers Nexus (this was done when there were still embargos going on so it's on launch software, without any of the numerous updates) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeQH__XVa64 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dlsJB3narnk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUh2qtjZu4E to a more casual review from engadget. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErW52_kqr7I quote:I pre-ordered the 64Gb model since I wanted to test the waters on this thing, but I sort of regret that now.

Quality seems very good so far, but it's a bit early to tell honestly as this very much shows after a while of usage. I appreciate that sticks and buttons need less force as xbox controllers f.e. since when holding the thing (it's as said, massive) every moment you don't spend energy on using buttons is gained for holding it  (I actually found out that when lying down I put it away LONG before the battery drains)got the 256 model and will get an SD card tomorrow, as reviews said it probably makes no difference to internal storage speed. I only wonder if the non-glare screen really makes a difference as it isn't very bright to begin with and I cannot really see how it will be usable in bright sunlit environments either way. Carrying case is a must imo as again, the thing is huge and I wouldn't want to have it damaged during transport. Case is hard shell so good protection, also fits the power adapter.

https://lutris.net/ just got updated for deck so emulation/running non steam games should be a bit easier! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTe8k01TF28 Harminoff fucked around with this message at 22:35 on Apr 4, 2022 |

Ran out of steam on Triangle Strategy, lookin' to get kinda immersed in something ambient. Maybe even open world. Also my wife heard Things about Tunic. It's unfortunate I had login issues and wasn't able to order one terribly early day-of 'cause I suspect my Q2 is gonna be on the back half. Though I'll be checking my email regularly. Glad to hear it's holding up to the hype hardware-wise. ...Claudio?

I had some hitching issues when first getting the Deck and playing Stardew Valley. Luckily it was only an issue the first time, as it has worked flawlessly since. I also managed to get the Xbox Cloud Gamepass working and tried Weird West and Shredders. WW was unplayable because of the input lag. But Shredders worked fine. Hoping Microsoft can bring the PC Gamepass to the Deck soon. One thing that surprised me about the Deck was how much I liked the trackpads. They are just so easy to use.

If anyone was wondering, while you'll obviously need to tackle the control issue yourself, OpenRCT2 works perfectly.

They have a lot of customization, and with some tweaking you can get them to be much better than sticks for shooters. Believe it or not, I played warframe for a long time with a steam controller and outperformed almost everyone using m&kb. The problem is you really need to tweak and adjust the trackpads until you find the sweetspot for yourself, and every game will behave differently.

Steam controller is the only controller I'll play any FPS with. Give me a standard controller for a racing game or something any day, but I'm 100% excited to be able to actually play FPS games on a controller with the Deck.

Speaking about the quality of the Deck, does anyone have a Steam Deck and a Steam controller on hand and can you compare them? I LOVE my Steam Controller but I have to agree that it feels pretty drat cheap: really hollow and the plastic feels like a step down from any modern controller. The Steam Deck looks like the same type of plastic but since everyone is praising the build of the device I'm going to assume it only looks the same and actually isn't the same type of plastic.

In my opinion the controller feels cheap because it's so light not because of the plastic or anything. Feels like it'll float away if you don't have a good grasp on it.

The Steam Deck looks like the same type of plastic but since everyone is praising the build of the device I'm going to assume it only looks the same and actually isn't the same type of plastic. Well I'd disagree that the Steam controller feels cheap. It's sturdy and well-built. The only criticism I have is that the face buttons are a tad too small and the bumpers are maybe a little too stiff/hollow feeling. Also I'm not a fan of the shiny plastic on the front. Having said that the plastic on the Steam Deck is almost exactly the same as the non-shiny plastic on the sides and back of Steam controller. All the buttons are solid and feel nice. The D-pad is really comfy and feels great to press. The sticks are great too, if a little slippery due to the thumb sensors in the center. The bumpers and triggers are similar to the ones on the steam controller, but better. It's hard to explain. Also the face buttons on the Steam Deck are slightly larger than those on the Steam Controller, so that's a big improvement as well. lots of incremental improvements overall.

Someone linked a video (or maybe a channel) that had a video about Deck accessories including glass screen protectors. I've used those on my phones for a while now and can't see how they could be bad in any way, they own. The video I saw had it working perfectly with touch as well.

Sort of related. If you are thinking of getting a power bank, make sure it's one intended for laptops that can output 60 watts. Most normal banks don't output enough power to charge the Steam Deck while it's running. But if the bank is rated for 60 watts output it will work fine. If it's not clear what the output is, if the powerbank is advertised to work with macbooks, it should probably work.

I went through a few different ones (with my other devices).

This could just be placebo, but I think a recent shader update improved the performance of a few games. I'm almost certain that some micro-stuttering has been eliminated.
