Well, I got my Steamn Deck oled yesterday, so far I am very pleased with
the device. It is a mid gen upgrade to the original deck with an Oled >display, so no surprises. However there are smaller adjustments
the haptics of the trackpads are slightly better with you can feel them
more while moving your thumbs.
Battery life a lot better. I have been playing Oblivion for two hours,
given it is not the most demanding game, and only got the battery down
20% on the old deck it would probably have been 40% in the same time.
Sticks, slightly better grip (again same effect as with the trackpads.
Fans, way less noise, i did not mind the noise of the old fans, but it
has become way better now.
Display absolutely lovely, hdr1000 on OLED really nice!
The rest is more or less the same, same haptics, slightly lighter (but I
do not notice it really), the steam and power menu buttons are slightly >easier to find (stick out a little bit more so it is easier to find them >without looking)
Triggers feel slightly different, however not sure whether they feel
better, guess thats a matter of what you are used to anyway not a huge >difference.
Analog sticks, feel the same, again high quality potentionmeter sticks,
the stick top has better grip as I said, the deadzone, I got it down to >almost the same values as with my hall based ones in the my original
deck. This time I wont bother replacing them with hall based ones, makes
no difference.
So far a really nice upgrade.
Also this time Valve did not have any problems with the initial pack of >devices nubmers wise, literally everyone who ordered the first two hours
is getting his now. Took me roughly 10 days from ordering to have it in
my hands. Nice job!
Call me happy... and this money wont go into the next gpu update which I
will postpone for another bunch of years.
Which one did you get Werner? I do not want the bottom one and IGot the one with the edged glass i figured it is more annoying to have reflections than a slightly almost not noticable diffusion. The edging
think that is still the only one available.
I have an OLED monitor (AW3423DWF) and it is wonderful so I would like
to see one of these in person 🙂
