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.
I’d rather we have a second USB-C at the bottom than remove it from the top. People may use it with a kickstand rather than a dock.
I would also like to see some improvements in ergonomics. The thumb is rather cramped. The back buttons could you som work.
I think the Deck Verified program needs to change. Always-online should be marked with a sub-icon. Hell, games that add randomly launchers and other unnecessary crap should get an “unreliable” sticker. User feedback should be more constant, reflect
