I’ve been considering purchasing a steam deck. My pc is in my office, which limits interaction with the rest of the family if I want to play anything. I’ve tried playing mobile games, but just can’t get use to the controls. Think it’s worth getting one?

    In my opinion, if you own a computer - a streamdeck is a great investment regardless.

    I mostly use my computer for software development, and web development and i have to say that the streamdeck has been a lifesaver in those regards.
    I do play games once in a while, including Euro Truck Simulator 2 on my other gaming rig and i wouldn’t be able to play it without a streamdeck. I have mapped most of the binds to keys, and use my streamdeck to press those keys. Its really handy.
    Same goes for the other car simulator i play, i use the streamdeck on Live For Speed to send pre-defined text messages, as well as ignition, lights, TC etc.

    Anyway, i tried to keep this comment short. Sorry.
    One last thing: I have had it for around 3 years now and would not be able to replace it anytime soon.

      This thread is about Valve’s Steam Deck portable gaming system, not stream decks.
