Apart from the obvious performance uplift what improvements are left that you would like to see in a Deck 2?

For me there is:

  1. VRR support

  2. Hall Effect sticks

  3. Make the battery easy to replace

  4. Move the SD card slot to other half of shell

  5. Move USB-C port to bottom

  6. Further reduce bezel and increase screen size

  7. Add real haptics

  8. Add Oculink and eGPU support.

On the software side I’d like to see:

  1. Improvements to the verification system to better incorporate user reviews and give more detailed feedback on what does and doesn’t work + expected performance
  2. An official way to share game settings, An easy way to install non steam apps from Gamemode
  3. 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
