Lighter weight, better autonomy, better ergonomy, better form factory, cheaper, WiFi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, and the heat control is better. Win11 is a plus for desktop usage and Xbox market.
What do you mean by “better autonomy?” And how is Windows 11 a plus for what is going to be a gaming handheld? Linux in general is more convenient than Win11, plus you don’t have Microsoft spying on you the entire time.
The Steam Deck OLED has better battery life from what I’ve seen, a better screen, works out of the box, and has better controls due to trackpads for more games.
OLED screens consume more power than an IPS screen, unless you display only black pixels on the screen. Explain to me by what miracle the autonomy would be greater?
I find the desktop useful, more software means more possibilities and more drivers for external devices. In any case, it covers my needs better.
Privacy is not a strong argument. And I am very concerned about this issue. You can disable the telemetry with a little bit of tuning in Windows and you can block the traffic with an FW. Privacy is systemic and not just Windows. Look at your phone, bank, connected objects, TV, insurance companies, … Do you think steam is not spying you ? Have you read their subscriber agreement ?
I avoid to use steam as much as I can. I prefer GOG or to buy my games instead to rent it. But as steam got 80% of the market share sometimes there is no choice. People should understand that a monopole is not good.
Another vote for a PC. I own both, but the deck is a fun extra thing, not my main gaming system. A built PC can be upgraded as the years go by very economically, whereas someday the steam deck will just be outdated. If you’re tired of the console ecosystem then switching to the deck is just a console made by a better company, but it’s still a bunch of hardware hardwired together. A gaming PC can be upgraded whenever your need and budget want.
I tried it, found it had horrible latency, and threw it in a box.
I’ve been using the (wired) Gamesir T4 Kaleid on my desktop and loving it.
I’ve been using an XBox Elite (the one that worked, not the one I sent back because the trigger was broken) and it’s been okay, but the dead zones are much, much larger than the Kaleid. I looked at Gamesir’s wireless options, but wasn’t impressed with the reviews, so I haven’t tried any yet.
I tried to install that ryujin fork but some games (for example “turnip boy commits tax evasion”) don’t recognize it even when emulating xinput (it worked when launched via steam)
Btw it improved a lot since last time I tried ds4windows, maybe a couple reboots would fix the issue (of course no battery and can’t find the micro USB charger)
I suspect it will see some more sales when it goes on a discount. It takes a hype cycle to get people to pay $80 (cad, in my case) and a timed exclusive of a known quantity story driven game does not have a hype cycle.
People want to buy the brand new exciting new chapter, they’re less keen on catching up to a now old story
The game is mid and the length of exclusivity meant that it lost public attention before the PC release. A lot of people who have PCs also have PlayStations and already bought the game.
