Steam Deck 2 with detachable controller, like the switch. I’d buy one right away.

Could you just pair Nintendo joycons with the Deck? Or maybe the ones that come with that new Lenovo handheld?

Yes you can, I regularly do this for multiplayer, however the Joycons are

I agree with all of your points. But to answer your question regarding charging.
You can buy joy con chargers, I’ve seen them in stores, they have like a whole stand that also charges your joycon. There are various licensed and unlicensed designs like this. Alternatively I’ve seen on Ali express, just a cable that splits into two, and can connect to the bottom of the joycon rail, just where the connector is, and can be plugged into a USB-a port.
Another official way to charge them is they in I think only released in Japan, as an arms 2 accessories? I may be wrong pulling this from memory and I don’t play arms. They sold joycon aa battery packs. Which were joycon grips, with two aa batteries making them thicker, and also a strap on them.
Lastly Nintendo announced before the switch came out, a charging grip for the joy cons. Like the one that was included with the switch, but it also had a battery that could let you play for even longer, and charge via USB-c. I don’t think this was ever released, I misunderstood and thought my release day switch would come with this product, so I was sad to see the grip that came with the switch was only a plastic holder. But I can wager a guess that some other 3. Party accessories maker has released either a licensed charging grip or an unlicensed one.
I haven’t seen it, but IMO the best product for me, if I was in a situation where I wanted to use the joycons exclusively on a non switch device. I’d like to have something similar to the official joycon straps, but it had a USB-c port on them for charging.

Somebody linked this which I actually just ordered

I agree, they should have come with a charging grip. If I recall correctly it came with a non charging grip? It can’t cost much more to add charging…
I was forever eyeing up the [Hori Split Pad](Hori Split Pad Pro (Black) for Nintendo Switch (Nintendo Switch) amzn.eu/d/7INO8wM) but it not being wireless always put me off.

Steam controller

This is my usual go to, but there are a few occasions I do miss having both sticks! :P
I’m really hoping the SC2 comes out soon.

I also really love the Touchpads, and would love to use the deck (or my pc) on my tv with a controller similar to the steam deck controls, have you found one like that, because I haven’t.
drekly@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It’s the steam controller

I’d miss the charging function as you can only charge them on a switch. Also you could never attach them in case you want to handheld it for a bit. Pretty sure you can connect them, as you can use them on PC too.

www.argos.co.uk/product/6836577 example of a charging dock, there.
Send_me_nude_girls@feddit.de 1 year ago
Yeah, you’re right. I should’ve expected something like this to exist. I wish we could charge them with just an USBC cable.

“Also you could never attach them in case you want to handheld it for a bit.”
I have great news – the Deck already has them built in for handheld!
