Depending on your hand size, your finger placement over these three buttons might feel weird at first but using them was surprisingly intuitive for me, even with my child-sized hands.įor instance, one of those back buttons was already mapped for use with Elden Ring, and I quickly got used to using my right middle finger to hit the R4 button when I needed to leap backward from an enemy. Gamepad-wise, the Steam Deck has all the usual buttons and thumbsticks you’d find on a regular controller, but Valve also added four flat buttons to the back of the device.
That Switch’s Jo圜ons we’re wobbly when connected to the display, but the Deck is an all-in-one piece like the Switch Lite so that wobble is nonexistent. The Steam Deck also feels sturdier than the Nintendo Switch OLED we recently reviewed. Sure, the Nintendo Switch OLED tops out at 0.93 pounds with the Jo圜ons attached, but if you hold the Deck in one hand and the Switch OLED in the other, the difference is barely perceivable. Valve’s Steam Deck is one of the largest handheld gaming consoles to be sold in the last 30 years but, at 1.47 pounds, Valve has worked some magic to make the Steam Deck feel almost weightless in your hands. You can hold the Steam Deck for hours without your fingers cramping! What we like Lightweight and extremely comfortable All configurations come with a carrying case, for instance, but the most expensive Deck includes anti-glare etched glass in the display.Įditor's note: We originally published our Steam Deck review in March 2022. The storage speed increases with the size, and the more expensive configurations come with extras.
The Valve Steam Deck currently comes in three configurations: a $399 model with 64GB of eMMC storage a $529 model with 256GB of NVMe SSD storage and a $649 model with 512GB of NVMe SSD storage. Operating system: steamOS 3.0 (Arch Linux), KDE Plasma for the desktop.
