• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Discussion] With the recent rumors of a possible hardware refresh, what are your most hoped for changes in an updated Steam Deck?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
  • Larger OLED screen
  • Hall effect sensor sticks
  • Better rumble
  • Support for 2242 m.2 drives
  • Second SD card reader
  • Better cooling (I’d gladly have a lump in the back middle if it allowed for a quieter/better fan)
  • Better accessory connection options (eg a standard for attaching stuff like extra batteries to the back) - I would prefer this to adding more battery (ie weight) to the unit itself.
  • Tweaks to the back buttons so they work no matter where on the button you press
  • Some sort of charging dock connection standard to avoid the manual usb connection. Maybe just a usb-c on the bottom
  • Small case design change to prevent sd cards being snapped when opening (I haven’t done it, but only by luck)
  • Replace the case with a plastic cover to protect screen/sticks (like dbrand’s)
  • Fix whatever that weird bug is with the WiFi

  Better performance/more ram would be good too I guess but honestly having a unified platform with fixed specs to target has a lot of benefits.

  I had one. Those controllers were incredibly cheap and plasticky.
