Thanks for this. I bought a bundle. Playing 198X for a bit, I am already glad I did. What a great game!

Steam Deck 2 is absolutely coming, new booklet from Valve confirms

Quoting: GuestI would hope that a Steam Deck 2 would have the option to turn on back light for the buttons...playing in the dark is tricky when you have to hunt for a button.
This is my only real complaint with the Steam Deck.

For a wishlist of hardware features, I'd like:

  • Backlit buttons (esp. the STEAM button)

  • USB-C on top and bottom

  • Pop-out NVMe drive like MicroSD (See Surface Pro 7/X)

  • IPS or OLED screen



But these are all minor points. I've had my Steam Deck for almost a month now and I am still delighted with it. Hands-down the niftiest Linux box I've bought. Which is saying a lot for me.

Software-wise, I'd like a usable web browser in Gaming mode. They could add that to the Deck 1. They're clearly almost there with the Store integration.
