I haven't looked at a steam deck but will have to see about it. I am keyboard and mouse though I have tried control pads before and I cannot use them
I understand, you can use the steamdeck docked liked a normal desktop of course.
You just have a fairly hardware limited extremely lightweight gaming desktop that you can throw in your backpack, but it still does a damn fine job of that too so shrugs. I mean get a Logitech k780 or whatever Bluetooth keyboard you like, a mouse too, Bluetooth works just as fine on the Steam Deck as any other laptop.
I like plenty of indie games and I have a deep love for entire genres of video games that categorically donโt require any computing muscle to work (cataclysm dark days ahead I love you) so I donโt care as much about having a super powerful gaming computer at this point in my life but it is definitely a valid criticism of the deck.
Interesting I will definitely take a look. Thank you!
