I’d really like to see the deck more internationally available, Valve’s limited experience as a hardware vendor really shows when it comes to the limited availability of the deck.
I don’t want oled, I don’t want 4k. I would like better wifi, lighter, and better graphics capabilities. I can feel the blood returning to my hands when I set the deck down.
I don’t really mind the weight. It’s the shape that I can’t stand. Whereas the steam controller is shaped like /0’0\ the deck is shaped like \°| |°/ . Keeping the wrists in such a sharp angle can’t be healthy.
Better wifi is basically confirmed, the certification is for a better wifi chip. The APU is the same, so same power, but maybe it could be smaller and lighter.
That said, I think how hard you grip the deck has a bigger impact on your hand circulation. I used to have issues with my hands getting numb, but I was holding the deck too tightly. After adjusting my grip I don’t have issues anymore and find it very comfy.

If its slightly smaller and has an OLED screen, then it’ll be great. Those are really the only things the current Steam Deck needs.
It probably could have an OLED screen if the screen was only 5-6". It’s easy to get left over OLED screens from phone production in that screen size.
They are still not selling in Norway. So then I simply dont care.

Just give me usb4
Two USB ports would be really nice. Is USB4 able to use an external GPU?
Yes but it would be BS to use one with a power-contrained CPU like the Deck’s.
yes, USB4 has thunderbolt in the spec. The cpu on the deck is just fine for games but the gpu with shared memory is really it’s biggest bottleneck.
USB10 or why bother?
Amiibo support coming soon! I can’t wait to give Dave the Diver Toad’s hat and diaper outfit.
