Comment on Steam Deck back in stock, with higher pricing
Buffalox@lemmy.world 22 hours agoYes of course you could use it as a PC on a desktop with mouse and keyboard.
I just don’t think that will be the typical use, but more with a TV sitting in an armchair or on the couch.
Maybe I’m wrong.
The value in having the controller included default, would only be if the price is lower for the bundle. Since the latest retailed for $99, it obviously shouldn’t cost $100 as a bundled part.

I am not arguing that most people will use mouse and keyboard only. But nothing speaks against it and having the option to buy without controller makes sense to me. Even if it costs 70 Euros more with controller, why would I buy it with one? And I am surely not in the minority of having a controller already, and not everyone wants to use a Steam Controller anyway.
All I am saying is, that there will be an option to buy it without controller probably, which helps Valve keep the price down as possible. Which is a very important factor, so that will happen for sure.
