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?

get a cheap docking-dongle with power in and video, ethernet, and usb-a adapters plus a bluetooth wireless keyboard to make it a full PC you can use from the couch!

then get a couple wireless xbox controllers and you got the best couch gaming setup around.

It cant run the latest and greatest games at high res, but there are thousands of good games it can run just fine

Do you have any suggestions for a dongle?
