Apart from the obvious performance uplift what improvements are left that you would like to see in a Deck 2?
For me there is:
-
VRR support
-
Hall Effect sticks
-
Make the battery easy to replace
-
Move the SD card slot to other half of shell
-
Move USB-C port to bottom
-
Further reduce bezel and increase screen size
-
Add real haptics
-
Add Oculink and eGPU support.
On the software side I’d like to see:
- Improvements to the verification system to better incorporate user reviews and give more detailed feedback on what does and doesn’t work + expected performance
- An official way to share game settings, An easy way to install non steam apps from Gamemode
- Improve the desktop mode experience.
As someone who uses their Steam Deck mainly in bed while placing the Deck on my chest, moving the USB port to the bottom would be horrible for me.
About the usb c port, dont move it on bottom please, just add a second one on bottom if really need but please leave one on top
I’d rather have a controller with the same controls as the Steam Deck than a Steam Deck 2 right now to be honest.
2-3x Performance per Watt
I hated my Switch with a USB C on bottom. It made my life hell when I was playing in bed and had to charge it. (Laying on belly)
more power
Can we not just enjoy what we have right now?
It does so many things right I’m not concerned with any next gen iterations at the moment.
