I just got the 512gb LCD one on sale for Black Friday and I’m totally excited for it.

[@gengibrekookie6022]

How much it was

[@iameternalsunshine]

i got a used 1 terabyte version for 200 yesterday :)

I just ordered my steam deck on friday, i went with the 1tb oled model. This will be my first foray into PC gaming so im really excited for it

Like if you recently got your steam deck aswell and are totally in love with it...

[@ginocerda3290]

Got my oled 2-3 weeks ago and I haven’t had a day I haven’t touched it yet 😂😂

[@AustinBires]

I got mine a little over a month ago. It’s been a long time since I’ve enjoyed a device as much as I’m enjoying the Steam Deck. It’s perfect for a busy dad that doesn’t have time to park in front of a console or PC to enjoy gaming.

[@marsmawzy]

Returned after 2 days

[@sweetcheey]

Bought it January this year, and I'm still so in love with it. The amount of games I'm able to finish and all those sneaky gaming sessions I did. Made me genuinely love video games again. One of the best items I've bought in my life; it's up there with ergonomic office chair and a good bed lol

[@SegoliaFlak]

5:35 - I think this removable liner is only in the top model (1TB) decks - if you check the feature comparison it shows "carry case with removable liner" vs just "carry case"

[@TerryDactyl-u2z]

I can confirm my 512 oled is NOT removable.

[@draygonfire84]

Yes sir it is only for the 1tb OLED model

[@Ifalvarado]

I want that case, but I don't want the 1tb model because of that linen on the OLED screen that makes it lose quality on colors.... what to do what to do...

[@draygonfire84]

@Ifalvarado buy a aftermarket case then I guess. Might find a 1tb case for sell

This is the best Steam Deck "what to do" video I've watched, thank you.

[@JalapenoPrime]

I'm so jealous of the OLED owners, I was one of the people that waited in a queue for months for the original deck. I use my Steam Deck everyday and I wish I would have held off on the OLED for a better experience when I do have time for games.

[@djacexanderring6319]

[@vuittonlou_]

Just got my stream deck for my birthday, and man what a helpful video. Thank you 🙏🏼

[@jiffabright]

you can also use the (...) button for shortcuts that use the steam button. like when you had to use both hands on the left side of the device to hold steam button and press the joystick to change contrast, you can just hole the (...) button and press up or down on the joystick. much more convenient when you're holding the device with both hands!

[@MrCalifornia0]

I have watched several of these videos. Yours is the best.

god the white oled looks so good, couldnt say it was worth it since they will be coming out with one in a year or two and my lcd still looks good

[@Staurify]

Will be more than a year or two, but they are partnering with the people who made the asus rogue alay thing. Hoping that it runs on Linux but has the hardware of the asus rogue

Valve is the GOAT gaming company. Excellent development catalog, an extremely customer first businesses model for Steam, and now one of the best gaming devices ever. My 5-10 year old selves would have been blown away by this handheld. It's convinced me to skip the PS5 and only upgrade when my PS4 can't even turn on. The OLED's battery, screen, customization, and ease of use are all incredible and has allowed me to play RPGs and games like Sekiro, Cuphead, Risk of Rain, etc in small increments throughout the day where I couldn't have played prior. If the new PS handheld isn't very good I'll just get my son the latest version of the Steamdeck at the end of the decade.

[@JonathanWentGaming]

Started with an LCD deck, upgraded to OLED and it's been nearly 18 months now and I didn't know about phone pairing for Spotify!

[@mr_clean575]

The hidden case inside blew my mind

[@Kentanyl]

Pretty sure the normal carrying case (not the white one) doesnt have the removable peice

[@Beats-sx1ch]

1tb OLED model comes with it, I have the old black one and it is removable. I don't really ever do though. You don't save much weight or footprint and if you're going somewhere with it I want to be sure it can take a bump and not just be protected from scratches

[@CardcaptorLiShowron]

Great video I had mine for few years. You said you can remove the velcro from case and take a smaller one out. Mine don't have velcro or a smaller one. Did valve change the case over the years and the older ones you can't do that? Everything else you said worked for me though.

[@ToobasusNotQfThisWorld]

He didn't say it in the video, but the smaller inner case is only for the 1TB versions of the deck

[@SuzyQ2585]

With protondb, platinum is the best rating. Gold means it'll work, but not without some tweaks.

[@yncuumid1903]

woke up at 4am to order mine because my steam balance was taking forever to be available and the limited one was sold out 😐

[@d34ddud3]

4:55 If you click the steam button under the trackpad while in a game and scroll down to the bottom you can exit the game from there. Personally I just save my game and exit to the main menu, then exit the game the way I just described before choosing another game. Or if the game has the option just exit to desktop. Basically the same way you'd do it on PC

[@abigor46]

debating if i should buy cheap on or top end on.

[@xxcnd83xx]

I bought a cheap one when the older models were on sale, it works great, the screen is big enough for me but the battery life is not very good. I have to charge it after 2 hours and I'm not even playing really demanding games. Also I ran out of story pretty quickly.

Hey I’ve been using windows on steam deck for quite a few months but recently I got a problem on windows The problem is that whenever I try to run *any* game I get a huuuuge amount of lag even in the games I used to run very smoothly and the cpu usage goes extremely high . Now fortunately the thing worth mentioning is that I don’t have the same problem while playing games on the steam os . But I really need windows to run like it used to be . Do u guys have any idea about how I can fix this problem on windows?

If your main goal is Xbox games, go ally as it has windows installed.

Didn't see a link for the 3d printed power adapter can someone help me find it.

[@MasterChief0093]

you did too many steps to exit a game. its a menu option when you hit the steam button . also the yellow symbol for compatibility doesn't mean it doesn't play well... it means there are some minor issues. and you can just click the Learn More button next to it to see the issues. its usually just because text appears small.

[@Necromanter]

Even on the white version, they never wrote "Deck" instead of "•••".😩
