Some of the comments there are really digging the facts that the device has a kickstand and that the right controller can be turned into a mouse… I’m glad you can but you can easily plug a USB mouse in and get a better experience. The real goal here is a HANDHELD gaming experience, and the Steam Deck, with gyro etc., is still king of that arena, it seems to me.

Dave2D pointed out something interesting, that having detachable controllers is a must if you want to control it with mouse w/o keyboard, which is also an option. That's not possible with the Steam Deck, or at least too uncomfortable.

Why would you bring a mouse when you can just use the controller as a mouse, and get a better experience.

For FPS games you wouldn't
