@JaxonH Music is from the SMTIV composer. Now, I like Shoji Meguro's work just fine, but, IMO, he's better keeping to Persona, because IV's OST blows Nocturne's out of the water.

I'm not even ready for what people like Tsuchiya and Konishi can accomplish on a home console given SMT IV's insane production value in terms of music on a 3DS game
Finally the ultimate PC handheld hybrid with Gyro!!! And dual analog unlike the Steam controller, so you can use trackpad OR analog depending on the game!
The full 512 GB model. No dock needed because cloud save means using my 2080 ti on the TV. But I will need a 1 TB micro SD to max storage. And a carry case.
I've been a fan of handheld PC's for a long time. I own a GPD Win 2 after all. But no Gyro and extremely short battery life kinda ruined my desire to use it.
But this? Monster Hunter World handheld. Mass Effect Legendary Edition with Gyro in handheld? Yes please.
I wish it could do tabletop with detachable controllers- that's a killer feature of the Switch, but they got enough right. I'll take it.
Obviously will need to keep games running at 720p max to conserve battery life, maybe even 600p (in my experience on the Win 2, 600p is almost just as good). 30fps locked with V-sync. Low-medium settings. If it can push 4 hrs with all that I'll be ecstatic.
It's about 3.5" longer than the Switch Lite (not sure about normal Switch, I don't have it with me) and looks a lot heavier and more girthy. Maybe not as comfy to play for long periods handheld like the featherweight Switch Lite.
But hey. Compromise. For what it's offering, I can deal with it.
Switch downfall? Yeah sure. How many companies have succeeded by emulating Nintendo devices? Will you write here? Also I hope it runs on 12 AA batteries like the Game Gear, too. Because its looks like Game Gear.
It seems pretty cool, I just don't know why people would be that invested in another Valve thing. Every few years they announce some new hardware of some type, it gets a niche audience, its largely forgotten about.
@Ralizah
I think they have. They've included 2 analogs this time, and while the buttons seem squished they're also all in close proximity to each other and the shoulder buttons, which is precisely the opposite of the Steam controller. The analogs aren't nearly as far inward as the buttons on the SC which had one dang near the center.
The close proximity to the edge ensures the analogs aren't too far in. That seems directly as a result of learning from the SC mistakes. I just tested holding my keyboard since it's long, fat and wide and it seems this layout will be better than it looks. Time will tell of course. Can't be any worse than the SC and while that wasn't perfect I really liked it. Some compromise is appropriate for handheld, such as Switch right analog directly under buttons.

True, but even if it gets forgotten about it doesn't change the fact the system will work. Unlike SM, games work natively on this. No porting required.

Ok I'm sorry, that thing looks ugly, like to the max, why the hell are the buttons so high? It just look's like they sat in a meeting room and said "How can we make this not look like a nintendo switch? put the buttons higher" It looks pretty bad, but I to have to ask as I have yet to see the video, How in the world is it going to be able to play online games when this thing clearly has a disadvantage, Unless the joysticks have god Accuracy I don't see it doing well in online FPS games.
Nintendo are like woman, You love them for whats on the inside, not the outside…you know what I mean! Luzlane best girl!

They're too close together. The buttons are literally spilling over onto the side of the device. And you won't be able to use the D-Pad without constantly bumping the left stick.
And WAY too much room is given to the touch pads.
I actually have a Steam controller. The poor thing hasn't been used in years, since the design is so bad, but it's an oddity that I have a soft spot for, so it has earned a permanent spot on my desk.
Actually, this all reminds me: you own MHS2 on Steam, right? Have you tried it on that $1000 PC handheld thing you own?
@Ralizah
Mmm... doesn't seem that crowded. Close to the edge, sure, but testing holding this keyboard has convinced me it'll be fine. Obviously you're not gonna get the full luxury of a Dualsense on a handheld. I'm OK with the design.
I didn't bother on Win 2 because honestly the battery life makes it unusable for basically everything except GameCube and Wii emulation. Unless it's not not demanding game, but even then it's like 3 hrs max. Idk. I could give it a whirl. I bet it would run great.

The trackpads have to have room. Buttons being high works well for your fingers on the shoulder buttons. Plus there's FOUR rear paddle buttons you can map do. Literally don't even need a single face button if you don't want. Or can map the two innermost buttons to back paddles. Sky is the limit.
It has wifi, so it can play online games the same as Switch. But Idk why anyone would focus on online. Basically every Steam game known to man is playable offline, unless it's an MMO or something. Obviously online only games don't work well for handheld. Same applies to Switch though.
The analog sticks seem as good as any controller so I don't see any disadvantage vs using a normal controller. It also has Gyro which, combined with those trackpads, hooh boy. Watch out! The accuracy is mind boggling.
Yeah, it'll be better than the previous handhelds for Steam games, @JaxonH .... I'm sure you'll be telling us all about it when you have it & can test games on it
