I modelled and printed a custom mount for my portable monitor and attached it to my steam deck for big screen Minecraft on the couch, it's suprisingly comfortable to hold

Me: I love my Steam Deck, but I wish it were lighter.

OP:

Looks like he doesn't mind the workout required just to keep the thing facing the right way.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 3 days ago (1 children)

So basically a laptop, except you can disconnect the large screen.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

And instead of a keyboard you have controller controls. Also there's a 2nd touchpad.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

I use my deck all the time to manage my server and do normal desktop things on it, I only go to the server if the thing I have to type is longer than a sentence haha

Steam input is amazing. Macros, macros everywhere!!

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 days ago

looks portable and comfortable to use. 🫶

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Holy shit. Now thats a gaming setup. Imagine pulling that thing out just casualty gaming on the tube or in a plane lol.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I'm sure the people next to you on the plane will be thrilled.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

I'd definitely love it. It's no wider than the person in the seat and it would give me something to watch

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Imagine pulling that thing out just casualty

I don't have to imagine it anymore XD

Looks like the monitor needs power based on the 2 cords I see. I'm not sure if the outlets the airplane has is enough for it, but maybe? I barely fly, and I don't even remember if they offer charge ports?

Edit: maybe buy one of those crazy large power bricks to bring with you! I got one years ago to use when camping. It's got usb c and 3 other usb ports and it's 60,000mah. It powered my MacBook pro all day, it's a beast and great to have just in case of power outages as well.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Heck yeah, nothing a 3d printer can't solve to make it a all in one.. Edit: the monitor is connected to power and then I just plug the deck into the monitor, so only 1 cable leaving the abomination 2.0

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

Impressive! That looks heavy though; remember to be kind to your hands if you're playing for a while

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

The only thing I would change is to have it on a separate stand connected with a wireless pen. Maybe is just me, but the whole set seems tiring to hold for long gaming sessions.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

My wrist hurts just looking at this

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

Holy moly the chad grip

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

What is the monitor model and brand?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's Aldi's house brand here in Australia "bauhn" basically just a generic monitor

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Ah okay, thanks.

[–] earphone843 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

As if the Deck wasn't already heavy enough.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

Stay tuned for when I print a holder for the 60000mah battery someone mentioned in the comments before haha

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Since you don't mind trading how you look for functionality, might I recommend: XREAL Air 2 Pro AR Glasses https://a.co/d/cbebx2I (or similar). As long as you're just sitting around, and not on a plane or anything, these are awesome. If the long haul flights is your use case, you'd want the accelerometer addon thing so you can anchor it in space better.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

I have considered ar glasses for it, high tech lo life on YouTube got me interested

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You know what would be cool? A mod that turns the second display into that 3ds Like inventory menu

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

I recommend looking up what people have done with raspberry pi screens essentially giving the deck a second screen that is far more practical than my setup here haha

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Fellow technical player spotted

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

XD tis why I love it... What gave it away?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Haha, for me it was the use of miniHUD and what looks to be bulk item storage(?)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Haha yeah I've been working on it for a couple days now and my partner decided to take the pic at the worst possible time, scaffolding everywhere XD, I use basically all the mods scicraft uses, they should be a vanilla feature

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

What Minecraft version do you run on the deck?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

1.21, I only updated to that version a couple weeks ago, it was 1.19 for ages before that, I only update if there is something that is worth it for me

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

YOOOO what's the montor size?? I've got a 14 inch 15:10 from AliExpress and this would be the coolest shit to print out! If you could, could you share the file to it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's 16 inches unfortunately, I used tinkercad to mock this up in about 3 hours with some calipers and a model from thingiverse to clip to the back of the deck, one thing I printed after this picture is a clip that goes over the decks screen to stop this abomination from unclipping from the weight

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

ahh unlucky, well anyways I'll post back in a couple of weeks with my rendition. Finally i get to play DS games yippee
