They definitely each have their own strengths and weaknesses, if I had to pick a winner, I'm going with Steam Deck, you just can't compete with their controller API and the Deck's assortment of input options; that alone makes everything else obsolete.

Raw horsepower(Rog v Deck) is a meaningless metric; Using the Rog is like driving a 911 without tires, just rims; you literally can't control it.

yeah, the switch is a nightmare to hold for anyone that has adult hands.

Not sure if you've tried this but, I've recently embraced playing with split joycons and i love it

i haven't tried it yet, but I will definitely give it a try, especially since i'm playing a lot of Tears of the Kingdom right now. thanks for the recommendation!

You know, I haven’t done split in a while, but I remember getting so used to it and just lying on the couch with one in each hand and feeling so at ease.

I almost always play with split joycons if I'm docked. I recently got the Nyxi wizard controller, which is like a split GameCube wavebird, and it's way more comfortable in handheld. I wish the buttons were higher quality but otherwise I'm digging it.
