Yep, precisely why I don’t play kernel anticheat games.
Considering 99.9999% of all the games out there don’t have it, and I have a selection of games large enough to last a lifetime, I don’t lose sleep over that decision.

I second the recent PlayStation controllers. My friend gave me an extra PS4 controller he had and it’s basically a Deck controller minus the back buttons and a track pad. Works fine for most games I play with it, but I’m primarily a M&K guy.
At those price points, it would make no sense to get the 64… get the 512. Unless you already have alternate storage sitting around ready to install.
If you got the 64 with a 512 micro SD card, you’d be in for about the same money, give or take no more than $10. You may as well have the faster SSD instead.
I love mine so much that I didn’t bother replacing my old laptop after it died, I just bought a dock, pulled an old Bluetooth mouse and keyboard out of storage, and the Deck is my daily driver now.
I have fantastic experiences playing mine. I recently upgraded to the OLED and gave the old LCD to a friend, and now he’s addicted to PC gaming as well. We play stuff every weekend, opening Steam voice calls is built right into the UI and it’s a fantastic experience. If you are thinking about getting into gaming, or gifting one to a gamer, I can’t recommend it enough.
Exactly. It’s not like you’d be playing a ton of stuff on the Deck at 1200p if you had this screen… but it’d be nice to have the option for older games that don’t need a ton of power at that resolution. And this screen barely costs more than the 800p LCD replacement screen.
I’ve used it before when playing non-docked (otherwise I have a Blue yeti condenser mic hooked up into my docking hub).
The people I was playing with said I sounded good and clear. I’ve used it both with Discord and with Steam voice chat and I’ve never had an issue.
EDIT: I saw your post about issues with it when using wired headphones. That very well may be, but I can tell you it works fine with Bluetooth headphones (I alternate on a couple of pairs of BT bone conduction headphones).
I said it elsewhere, but it’s almost like they looked at the market research showing Steam PC gamers would buy a gazillion Steam Controller 2s or Steam Deck Controllers if they made and sold either one, or both.
And then they decided to make something that was neither one of those things. It’s totally bizarre.
Why would anyone buy this? You can already do this streaming through the Deck or any of the other handhelds, if Game Pass is your thing.
Seems like people aren’t a big fan of sardonic humor anymore, but I enjoy it. Have an upvote lol
Or at 720p, as this is a 16:9 aspect ratio, and running stuff on it at 16:10 will look weird.
