  Issue not necessarily appearing on the Steam Deck but it would benefit from it as well - better handling of mixed input from a controller and mouse. I have a Steam Controller and prefer to have it simulate a controller in FPS games but to have the right touchpad work as a virtual mouse to ignore in-game acceleration curves and deadzones.

  Some games handle it well, like Cyberpunk 2077, some games like Grounded tend to show keyboard prompts whenever it would detect mouse input but still function correctly. If I’m not mistaken Borderlands 2 would drop it’s UI controller layout whenever a mouse input was detected, which can probably be skipped by using layout switching/overrides from Steam Input. The worst offender so far is Hunt Showdown, where the game freezes for 0.5 s when it detects mouse input, even if it’s a physical mouse input.

  All of my testing has been conducted on Linux, not sure how it behaves on Windows

  As a person who used to do Hackintoshes I am impressed people got it to boot on a Steam Deck

  “Old” chargers are USB-A. Bundled cables are USB-C to USB-C, so you have to buy a new charger for it, or an USB-A to USB-C cable.

  Additionally within the same brand you can have cheap phones with full suite of accessories - a charger, a case and screen protector, but once you go higher with a price tag you get less in a box. Example: OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite, which is now just a brand of Oppo, comes with a charger, a case and a screen protector, while their higher end model Oppo Reno 12 Pro comes with just a screen protector.

  Samsung went even a step further and started making their boxes thicker, suggesting it comes with a charger, but in reality it comes with just a cable inside. Forgot which model was it though, iirc one of their Galaxy M line.

  Kinda predictable from a person who claimed their product (Phone 2a) has the best unboxing experience, despite bundling an USB cable to it only.

  Not all of them. Full scan of hardware is performed only when participating in a survey or requesting a hardware report. An example is Steam on my PC not detecting a SteamVR native headset (goggles icon doesn’t appear) until I’ll launch VR mode.

  If I’m not mistaken Valve said they want to release it for desktops

  This sounds like the chicken or egg debate

  …or for the Deckard

  I find framerate more noticeable when I’m closer to the screen. Which is why I don’t mind the framerates of my phone/Steam Deck, but on a desktop monitor 60 Hz is not enough
