This is my thought with every single one of these. I was pleasantly surprised to see them on the new Ayaneo Kun, making it the only alternative to the Steam Deck I would consider. The lack of trackpads is too much of a limitation for PC gaming.

Yah controller support is best it’s ever been – but many PC games still benefit with mouse-like dexterity. And for many games, the ability to add additional buttons and macros.

It’s easily the only thing that makes so many games playable on the Deck.

I guess it’s better to have more options to buy something than less, but does these sell that good that almost every pc manufactor and more have now a handheld device?

I think we’re still in the phase where manufacturers try to match the steam deck’s success. But it definitely feels over saturated, and I’ve got no interest in anything other than a steam deck

Some of the other even give us steam os support in the future. So i’m kind of open. I plan in near future to buy a mid gaming pc, mostly for indies, since i’m more of a console gamer. I don’t think it will be a handheld, but currently it’s a very low maybe.

Ugh.
OK. Price will be a massive point to make here. This needs to be ridiculously cheap for people to deal with this game space app that without looking at it, I can already tell must be a pain in the butt.

Clearly it does not because people are already buying the existing ones.
