So many "competitors" coming out, but I still think I'm just gonna wait for the Deck 2.

They don't want to miss out the "hype" but also Valve deem the hardware jump is not that much to consider "Deck 2". If only these manufacturer also consider bringing software optimization rather than keep producing portable handheld with small performance jump.

To be fair, they don't have a big digital storefront to make money. If they try to ask money for software update? Oh boy ....

So yeah, just like lenovo, asus or other malnifacturers, pumping out devices is their business model for now.

No trackpads.

Out of consideration.

Yeah, this is the number one thing that keeps me from even considering the deck competitors.

I literally never use mine. It's a massive pain to set them up just right and I'm never happy with the results or the unintuitive settings options.

If you ever boot into desktop mode they’re essential (at least in my use case). Using thumb sticks for a mouse is so painful.

I use a mouse for a mouse broski. Also touchscreen.

So you bring an external mouse with your steamdeck? If that works for ya, more power to you.

Sometimes I need to pop quickly into the desktop so for my use case, bringing an external mouse would definitely inconvenience me. That’s when the trackpads come in handy.

Funnily enough, the Onexfly F1 Pro just went up for sale too. The newer “AI HX” chips are expensive because where top end sku for Onexfly costs $1399.

I suspect that Ayaneo 3 will also have similar pricing.
