Comment on The steam deck feels very heavy

I was concerned about the weight when I got mine as I am used to Nintendo handhelds. After playing with my Steam deck for over a year now I don’t notice the weight anymore. I actually feel like I’m going to break my Switch when I play it now.

The last handheld I had was a n3ds xl, too.

  I think you might just have weak arms then.

  Yeah I mean the 3DS XL is not a heavy system by any sort of comparative standard. So it makes sense the deck would feel heavy.
  
  Personally it doesn’t bother me, but I do still often prop pillows under my arms as support for long sessions. You might try that.

  I read somewhere, maybe reddit, maybe here, someone used an articulated tripod for tablet to support their deck for them. It could be a solution for you, at home.

    We have something like those in the house I think. Those ones that clip to a table and is a bendable arm.
