That said, the Deck does have a massive and active community, so any problem you have will be documented somewhere else. Valve also partneredwith iFixIt and repair parts are readily available.

The rest of this is optional IMO:
I highly recommend the Jsaux modcase if you want a hard case for the deck. I don't have to take thumbstick caps off either, it has space for them. The deck comes with a case already, but I wanted a hard cover and the modcase fit the bill. Plus it doubles as a bigger grip, because again, big hands.
If you use the trackpad a lot, I'd recommend some track pad stickers. Just to keep the oils and wear down. Easier to replace the sticker than the entire pad. Plus it doubles as some personal customization. I went with carbon fiber ones.
Silicone rings on thumbstick. I use these on every controller I own except for ones with metal shafts. Been bit too many times by plastic joystick shaft erosion. Never even looked into if the steam deck has this issue, but I use them anyways.
I've never been big on back buttons because of how I position my hands on controllers. If you're in the same boat, I recommend the PlayVital back button enhancement set. But really any will do. Just makes it easier for me to adapt to using it.
Again, in my own opinion, the only thing you need is thumbstick grips. The rest is entirely optional and you can set it up however you like for your comfort.
Oh, and if you want more storage, I'd start with a big SD card. If that's still not enough, then you'll have to upgrade the NVMe.
100% would buy if I had the self-control to play games moderately..
What deal is this?
I've spent a ton of time on Hades, Balatro, Vampire Survivors, Skywalker Saga, and Core Keeper. The Hex really surprised me and was the first game I completed on the Deck.
I've added Chrome, Plex, and X Box Game Pass from the desktop. There are plenty of tutorials if you search for them.
Depending on whether there are fire sales, prices may come down enough to get me to get something to play around with.

336+tax is a steal for a brand new item. I'm a very casual gamer.
from last year but still works
Also, Steam Deck weak ass cpu. Can't wait for Steam Deck 2.
After setting up the OLED and trying out a random game, I notice my eyes were getting tired and then started to hurt so I stopped thinking that maybe I had too much caffeine. I went about my day using my phone . Later that night I thought it would be a great idea to plop down on the couch and try out the OLED again. Boom same results as earlier that day. I hopped on Google and came across this Reddit post. After going down that rabbit hole I realized not all OLED are the same. The OLED on steam decks aren't the same as OLED on the Nintendo switch. I have a Nintendo switch and I don't have the same issue as I do with steam deck OLED.
I realize I have issues with PWM (pulse width modulation). I gave the OLED a try for 12 days with the same results, so I initiated a return on the 13th day. I figured I maybe the steam deck isn't for me. At that time I couldn't justify spending the small difference on the LCD. Then when the Autumn sale came around and the price dropped for the LCD model, I felt it was worth the purchase. It shipped this morning so I'm hoping to have it in my hands next week. I don't plan on taking my handhelds out. They'll always be at home so I'm not worried about battery life. I just like the option too move around and game where I want and home.
I'm hoping I don't have the same issue with the LCD version but it seems like I might be ok. Worst comes to worst I'll just return it like I did for the OLED .
