I think the Deck is too big for my tastes

That's what she said.

Honestly though I love the size of the deck but could even go a little bigger. Agree that as more manufacturers start using SteamOS it will be great to have options.

Are you kidding me? Steam Deck is so big and clunky. Don't even get me started on the piss poor ergonomics and the thing is fucking heavy as shit too!

I love it because it's open source, but it's shortcomings really leave a lot to be desired in my opinion.

That's just, like, your opinion, man.

I think it's perfectly sized. No need for change. And the OLED model is noticeably more lightweight than the original LCD model, so the newer one isn't too heavy.

I'm with you, I have large hands but I'm a serious gamer. An hour in and I'm already feeling it's weight and feeling the fatigue. It's a very impressive device, but it doesn't suit me and my needs at all.

Bought an r36s and it's glorious. Playing all the classic SNES and PSX games I didn't play back in the day. Can grind in an RPG for hours one handed and it fits in my pocket. Bonus is that it's so cheap if it breaks or gets lost it's no big deal.
