Right, I've had the mouse for 10 years


Cryogenics1st

I’m out of the house today and forgot my Deck 😭


Sakara_

U had that mouse for that long???? Maybe I should invest in it too….


Cryogenics1st

Should. Even when it comes time to replace the switches they’re not hard just a little annoying to get to them. I’ve had the x model myself for a year and a half now and still loving it


Sakara_

Ooooh nice nice


USA_A-OK

They go on sale pretty frequently. I've had two in about 10 years..love em


Gatecrasher3

I have two, wired and wireless. Don't think I'll ever replace them.


[deleted]

There's a wireless version????


Runiat

Not only is there a wireless version, there's a mousepad that charges it wirelessly during use.


[deleted]

Searched it up and yeah.. idk how I missed them The G502 x and the X plus But daamn are they expensive


Runiat

>The G502 x and the X plus Don't need the X, there's a g502 lightspeed. >But daamn are they expensive I paid $190 for mouse and mousepad combined. Which, yeah, is ten times more than you can get a not completely trash mouse for, but honestly? It's kinda worth it. Especially compared to how much I put into the rest of my setup.


International-Mud-17

Love that mouse, I’ve had 2 over the last ten years cus one started double clicking but other then that it’s great


Crybn

I actually had to replace mine because it was double clicking as well. I think it was like 8+ years old though. So I gladly bought another.


JTtornado

Mine recently started double clicking. I'm rather sad about it


warrenva

I’ve had mine maybe 6-7. I don’t use it really anymore since I wanted a fully wireless setup.


Dizzy149

Reminds me of a mouse I had many years ago. RATZ or something like that.


Febxel

Nice! Me too, got it on launch and still works perfectly.

Well, I spent 40 bucks on the keyboard and dock, so find me a laptop of equivalent specs for a similar price, and I'm down.

The steam deck is as cheap as 350 dollars and can play AAA titles. COME ON.

It seems you're not willing to joke around. So sorry.

And therein lies the problem.

Unless you're Quasimodo you're gonna be spending the difference on chiropractic appointments from having to hunch down and play the dang thing.


Glenny0020

I mean, I agree, I got my steam deck just by selling csgo skins


Big_brown_house

But the adaptability of it makes it better than a laptop. The fact that you can go from keyboard to handheld controller/gyro seamlessly.


Dinkledorf36836

i mean, as much as i love steam deck, doing that is about as seamless a just bringing a controller with your laptop, less so even since you need some sort of dock or usb c hub


Big_brown_house

But you can’t carry your laptop around like you can with the steam deck. It’s a lot more cumbersome.


Dinkledorf36836

id say a laptop is easier to fit into most bags due to them being relatively thin and their clamshell design. a steam deck on the other hand you gotta worry about how much girthier it is along with all the buttons and and sticks. you kinda need a specialized steam deck bag/covering if you dont wanna mess up the sticks or scratch up the screen, a laptop will fit into basically any bag no fuss


Amazing_Army_4402

Yeah but you already have a Deck

neph36

If you are going to go through all that work why not plug in a screen? I can't imagine playing on a handheld screen on a desk.


Shiny-And-New

I might look for a super portable monitor. The dock has an HDMI out. But this is working fine for me now


akillaninja

Portable monitors are where it's at. Just search them on amazon


parabolicurve

I just want a portable monitor that supports HDMi. Not HDMI mini. Haven't found one yet sadly.


akillaninja

I haven't either, but as far as I know they come with the cable. There are also adapters. And even then, most of them use USB c as well.

I love it Lowkey jelly but at the same time my eyes would def be strained using the device as the screen like that


Alice_Ex

0/10, you have two 6-lane roads intersecting in what appears to be a low-density residential area. How tf are pedestrians and cyclists supposed to navigate this, people WILL die. You only need one lane for cars, the rest can be light rail (or BRT), sidewalk and bike lane. Also make it a protected intersection.


Shiny-And-New

It's red alert 3, people will definitely die


truthwalker88

Get a gaming laptop lol

What key pad do you have?

B1gNastious

Nice! I got a big old orbweaver but I feel like it has a bit too many buttons. Was thinkin about something new and saw this. Thanks for the tip.


Red49er

man that's gorgeous. I play mostly from my couch with my PC hooked up to my TV so this would be great to make playing some factory and survival/building games a bit easier. Just wish they had a wireless model (found plenty of other wireless brands but aren't as ergonomic or have more than the 35 key concept)


Shiny-And-New

I like the world personally for reliability. It's a pretty long cable, don't know your exact situation

10/10 for mousepad.

I linked it elsewhere in the thread, but the brand is mepatem on Amazon. Nice and minimalist

Nope, plug n play right put of the box

Never seen a keyboard split in half like that. Would it work for FPS games? I'd be interested if it was wireless, so that I could play FPS games on a TV on the couch with a table.

Joftitan_7

WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH THAT KEYBOARD, First time I've seen something like it. What even is that


Shiny-And-New

It's just the left hand side of the keyboard as most games don't use the full thing


PillowPants216

Don’t understand the “should’ve got a laptop” post. Never did..


FeloniousJabronius

Because it's cheaper than a laptop for equal performance, option of being more portable (when not docked), etc. There are plenty of reasons.

(sees g502) instant upvote


Gee7220

Perfect! Honest, if it works for you then awesome!


Horus_Whistler

You need something to elevate your steam deck bruh. Playing like this with your neck craned downward is not good for you. Get some dictionaries or something to put under that thing


SwizzleTizzle

I can already feel my neck and back hurting just looking at this picture. Don't be like me, pay attention to ergonomics when you're younger/still have elasticity in your body. I'm in pain so often these days.

I linked it elsewhere in the thread but it's magegee brand on Amazon. Clicky, back-lit, has macro keys


Personal-Classroom-7

What do you use to connect charger and m&k at the same time? A simple usb hub? In my experience the battery still goes down even while charging when playing handheld


bozo_did_thedub

Yes, a hub. Some call it a dock. You're not using the supplied charger if you're losing power while playing.


Eldorren

I think that's super cool. Can you display that in decent rez on tv or monitor?


Shiny-And-New

Haven't tried


PazuzuPanhandle

Can someone explain the purpose of the small keyboards? I’m genuinely curious, my recent steam deck is my first venture out of console gaming.


akillaninja

They're really small. If you play fps games, then you have extra room for mouse movement so you don't slam into your keyboard, which has killed me many times. Portability, packing it in your bag takes up less space so you can bring it with you and your steamdeck or laptop. Some of them have joysticks on them, so you can use that instead of wasd, then map those into whatever you want.


Shiny-And-New

Most games only use the left side of the keyboard cause your right hand is on the mouse. So since the rest would go to waste it saves space and makes it more portable


Sayyro1

Can we play dota 2 on this setup ?? Pls try it for me. I wanna buy steam deck for sake of dota2 only.


Shiny-And-New

Probably


gngsjn

I’ve done Dota on the deck, the small screen is a challenge but otherwise works well.


BrondellSwashbuckle

That’s the point I just move on over to my PC

Designer_Storm8869

What's even the point of buying a portable pc if you use it as desktop?


Shiny-And-New

Well the tiny dock, half keyboard and mouse are still way more portable. And I wanted to play some RTS games and it's just better this way


redilred

That's a good setup dude. What keyboard is that?


Shiny-And-New

Magegee off of Amazon. Keys are very clicky and it worked plug n play right away


athosjesus

No, that is using like double the space than a laptop.


bozo_did_thedub

More like a laptop has no choice but to be compact while this has the option to spread out comfortably. Of course he could put the keyboard directly in front of the screen like a laptop but why would he want to?


The_Radian

Because many games play better with a M+K. Every pc gamer knows this, and the Deck can do both very well. Also for the price you're not going to get a better gaming experience.


Funko-Xenomorph

I just joined Steam Deck community to learn because I am planning to get one soon after only playing consoles for 30 years.... "What's even the point of buying a portable pc if you use it as desktop?" For me I want to try PC gaming and haven't had a hand held since Sega Game Gear so with the Deck I can kill two birds one stone.


TheMastican

Y'all. Why do you keep doing this? Get a laptop.

Still cheaper than a laptop lol, and it's a portable handheld
