Comment on Is there any reason to have a Switch and a Steamdeck,

I don't use my switch since getting the steam deck. I played a little of tears of the kingdom but the fact that it wasn't on the deck (without effort to emulate and move saves) is most of the reason I stopped playing.
The switch created the handheld real console revolution, but it also kind of sucks to use. Joycons are awful, the ergonomics of joycons are awful, and while you can get third party replacement options for the joycons, they all still have really awful sticks that make playing anything that uses them painful.

My hands cramp and my thumb joints hurt with certain games on the switch. The left joycon broke (not stuck drift) so I replaced it and then like a week later the right joycon broke.
I am still kinda pissed at how expensive the joycons are. If I knew they were both going to break, I would have just bought a Steamdeck instead.

Binbok on Amazon were the least bad ones I found. They're shaped about like half a normal controller, and the joysticks were almost tolerable compared to the joke the hori Nintendo licensed ones are.
But they're still a lot worse than a real controller. The steam deck isn't.
