Same! In the exact same spot as well (right grip)

I already do that haha, but thanks. Heavy games like elden ring or switch emulation needs more than that saddly for stable fps.

No? Steam deck not on sale is $400 new for 64gb. Ignoring that he has to be charging for labour since ssd would be $60~ and micro sd card $50~ making a grand total of $510 without tax.

They aren’t, but doing this opens up desktop mode as a nested Wayland desktop giving it the advantages of Wayland, and since steam deck uses game scope to put each game into its own Wayland session it plays nice with steam and shows up as a normal game.

Likes:

• ergonomics: the device is extremely comfortable to use and having full sized joysticks is awesome!
• controls, I find having trackpads make fps games actually bearable, and I will definitely ensure any handhelds I get in the future have them.

Dislikes:

• battery life: pretty simple, in harder emulation and new games less than 2 hours hurts
• CPU: I find only having a max boost clock even for single core processes (like switch emulation) only going up to 3.5ghz a major limiting factor, I think 3.5ghz is a fine target when all cores are being used but I would have liked to see 4ghz for single / dual core use.
• weight: the device is heavy enough to where it can’t be used without proping your arms against something which can be a bit of a pain

Yeah, most people set it larger for desktop mode or windows use, where the drivers don’t auto allocate vram. Although as you said it seems many think it affects game mode which it doesn’t.
