Bluetooth is fine, haven’t experienced any lag like the other guy said. But remember standard Bluetooth is only two channel, so don’t try to use the microphone on the headphones or your audio will not be stereo.
You can use the headphones for sound then I’m pretty sure there’s a built-in microphone on the deck. For multiplayer game chat.

Interesting fact, there are saltwater crocodiles in southern Florida, and the keys. It’s, I believe, the only place in the world that has crocodiles, alligators, and Amazon cayman.

I purchased the drive, flashed steam OS to it, put it in the deck and turned it on. Really really simple. Didn’t encounter a single hiccup.

I just bought a USB m.2 adapter and flashed steam OS to the drive before I ever even put it in the deck. First not was just like biting the original drive.

It’s the easiest thing I’ve ever done in my life.

You’re fine, just follow the iFixit guide. It’s super easy. After removing the screws I pulled it apart with my fingernails, no problem. Remove screw, replace drive, put screw back in. This is like, day one stuff at a computer repair job. Again you’re fine. If you can do a Lego set, you can replace the m.2 on a steam deck. Don’t psych yourself out, my mother could do it.

What screen did you upgrade to?
- Comment on SteamOS 3.5 Preview for Steam Deck Top Features 1 year ago:
Some other quick picks from it:
-Improved sleep resume speed. -Improved Bluetooth connection stability. -The performance overlay can be customized via configuration files. -An upgraded Arch Linux base for the operating system. -An upgrade to the KDE Plasma desktop mode. -Fixed an issue where certain workloads would exhibit severe CPU performance issues unless SMT was manually disabled. -External storage devices are now auto-mounted when connected to Steam Deck.
That last one is pretty great, I can now much more easily connect my external m.2 enclosures for game storage.
