    you can also use the (...) button for shortcuts that use the steam button. like when you had to use both hands on the left side of the device to hold steam button and press the joystick to change contrast, you can just hole the (...) button and press up or down on the joystick. much more convenient when you're holding the device with both hands!

    Valve is the GOAT gaming company. Excellent development catalog, an extremely customer first businesses model for Steam, and now one of the best gaming devices ever. My 5-10 year old selves would have been blown away by this handheld. It's convinced me to skip the PS5 and only upgrade when my PS4 can't even turn on. The OLED's battery, screen, customization, and ease of use are all incredible and has allowed me to play RPGs and games like Sekiro, Cuphead, Risk of Rain, etc in small increments throughout the day where I couldn't have played prior. If the new PS handheld isn't very good I'll just get my son the latest version of the Steamdeck at the end of the decade.
