The steam deck feels very heavy holding it in everyway. It feels the heaviest in its hand grips. Does that feeling go away? It feels like I’m trying to hold a laptop.

    Totally agree. That’s the reason why I bought Anbernic RG35XX for actual “on the go” gaming because the steam deck is too heavy and big to carry around.

    People keep requesting all sorts of performance, screen improvements for next Steam Deck but in my opinion, it only needs to trim down the weight and maybe some size. Less than 500 grams would be a good start.

    Ever since my RG35XX, I’m finding myself using it way more than Steam Deck. It costs 10x less haha

      Sadly, I’m returning my steam deck because of other issues as well as weight. Looking up the device you said, their store has a lot of interesting videogame handhelds to play with.

        I recommend RG353V or the RG353P. They’re the same with the difference between the two being the orientation. V for vertical and P for portrait (not sure)

        That thing can play up to PSP so that’s pretty nice and has dual analog sticks just in case.
