Is it okay to keep it plugged/docked permanently ? (Soft limiting battery charge to 95% / second hand / battery health at 93%)

I’ll add on to this that Steam Deck uses power passthrough that bypasses the battery entirely. This means that you aren’t constantly wearing down the biggest fail point of these devices. If you are someone that charges to 80-100% and then unnecessarily unplugs it, you are essentially reducing the li

Two amazing deals - which one do I keep?

I think from a repairability long-term outlook you'll probably be able to service the Steam Deck better if you want to get new thumbsticks, or need to replace bumpers or the SSD, or the battery, you can easily source those parts from iFixit down the line. Even if you crack the display you can buy on

Cool story bro

Hehe bro, you know what? The Steam Deck OLED is still the best when it comes to price, screen quality, size, and overall optimization.

Our game got Steam Deck Verified, but that won't be it. What do you expect from Verified games?

I’m so happy to see a developer engage with the community on Reddit. I really enjoyed the first game. My Steam Deck (OLED) wishlist: runs at 45fps consistently; can cope at 12w tdp or lower (though I get that might be asking a lot of a new game); adjustable font size/UI for accessibility; finally, p

What is something you wish more people knew you could do with the Steam Deck?

Play games at 800p max settings at 90hz (OLED) with perfect HDR via Moonlight+Apollo with basically no latency or streaming artifacts. Turn the Steam Deck into a better PS Portal using ChiakiNG+. Stream Xbox/xbox game pass games both locally and from the cloud using Greenlight.

Its fascinating to me that there still isn’t a clear SD dethroner

The only upgrade to your OG steam deck is the steam deck oled.

How hard is the battery to replace?

Pretty simple, you can order the part and get a video tutorial from ifixit. I took mine apart for a shell swap and it was pretty simple and the battery iirc doesn’t require anywhere near the same level of disassembly https://www.ifixit.com/products/steam-deck-battery?variant=41550886568039 This one

Switch 2 Vs Steam Deck OLED WITH Actual Benchmarks

Switch is way more efficient on a watt to watt basis, but the Steam Deck is more powerful in handheld when using its full wattage. Edit: I should add, even though the Switch 2 is about 3x more efficient, the battery in standby is about equivalent because of the 50w battery of the Steam Deck. Additio

Silksong shows a Steam Deck in the controller menu!

For very early impressions, Silksong seems to draw very little power. If you have an OLED you could definitely get away with playing at 90 FPS without a big hit to battery life! The in-game frame limiter only has options for 30, 60 or 120 FPS though, so I just turned it off and set the Steam Deck's
