they’ll most likey fix screen and battery issues first along with stick drift.
Good. Two years is too short of a time for a hardware generation.
good, I’m sick of companies being like “hey here’s the new version of insert product that worked in every category here, as such as are not supporting the old device anymore, but don’t worry the new version has sparkles on the menus!”
The only thing I wish they had done is an OLED screen.
I heard they tried to buy some panels from Samsung but they wanted such a huge amount per product that it would’ve raised the steam decks price way beyond of most consumers product. You can make more money by selling a cheaper product to more people rather than a premium product to a select few.
I’m not familiar with the topic but couldn’t they cut straight to the source and directly contact Corning? Or alternatively, one of those Chinese high end OLED knock offs? I’ve heard they’re basically less than 1 generation apart in terms of quality.
edit: alternatively, I assume all cables/connectors are standard. What’s preventing Jim next door from starting a group buy to manufacture replacement OLED screens/upgrade kits?

I’m not after a Steam Deck v2, but I’d love a v1.1 with Thunderbolt support. I’ll buy a Steam Deck the moment it will happily play with an eGPU without a Dremel getting involved.
Currently the ROG Ally is the only one of these with eGPU support, right? And it’s still only for their proprietary ones?
