** DISCLAIMER: The NexDock 360 was sent to me for review, however all of the opinions are my own ** - เกม
With Valve talking about releasing future iterations of the Steam Deck... I really hope they just let this model breathe for a while. It would be nice to see a return to the 5-year lifecycle for hardware instead of either having 8 years with consoles or 1 year with mobile phones.
I agree. It’s already way more powerful than the Switch…and it runs newer games pretty well…so there isn’t a need to replace it anytime soon.
the thing is, Deck is quite literally a PC so for the most part arbitrary generational separation such as you see in traditional console does not really exist, you can run game released more than 20 years ago such as Half Life (or even games from dos era} all the way up to the current latest generation games.
the only limit would be the computational power for future more hardware-demanding games, which the future iteration of the deck will most probably solve with better hardware with more efficient and powerful hardware
@@MetalJesusRocks I think what I'm waiting to see is if they release a pro version in 2-3 years. I really would like to see that battery life improved and the other weird things improved on like fan noise, sticking buttons would be great. If they don't then I'm happy to wait a little while until deck 2 to get that battery life up.
We've got a few years with it. And honestly. They really only said they know another is coming. Which just means the product has been really successful for them. Also lets the people know that it's here to stay. That's all. We are a few years away still imo. So I'll take 3-4 years of gaming on this. I mean within the next year I don't think it will handle some AAA titles like it is now. But we'll see when we reach that road I guess.
@@chrom4ful Right, and that's the part about PCs that keep me from gaming on them. You could have a 3090ti, or two... or more in a single PC to give you 1000+ fps. There are constantly unicorns to chase in that part of gaming, and I'd personally rather stay away from it. Chasing hardware dreams is a young man's game, lol. I find myself becoming a curmudgeon with games and I realize I am only speaking for myself here. If someone wants to drop $400-$600 every year on a new Deck with incremental enchantments, be my guest.
this is so weird. I was JUST watching all of your steam deck videos for recommendations, and BOOM you uploaded a new video for it 1 minute ago. Love all your vids man!
he tracks you and creates instant content according to your preferences. Metal Jesus is an AI.
@@danielyanezgarrido I knew it. dude puts out videos just for me
Same lol. I was just looking for accessories to get.
It is funny...same thing happened to me and I just got my Steam Deck is ready to order email yesterday so have been browsing for accessories. Love this channel.
NICE! Seems like the steam deck has a infinite potential!!
This was SUCH a great video. I love the quality and professionalism that you have. Its just so nice to sit down after a long day and have just a great gaming video from you to watch again.
Thankful to God for you man. Please keep the great videos flowing!
I love my Steam Deck, I bring it with me all the time when I have to travel for work.
Always love when you make Steam Deck videos.
The Steam Deck is on my Christmas list. Please Santa. Please!
I wanted to say thank you for this video, I got the case you suggested and I'm very impressed with how much it does help the feel of the deck, everything you said was absolutely spot on. A few other people also suggested it but they didn't make it clear how much it can help with grip. Please continue with your videos, me and my husband watch regular together.
This video is perfectly timed as I should be getting my Steam Deck soon! Thanks for making the video. You did a great job as you always do!
Fantastic and informative video. With the push to all digital and I can see the steam deck being the perfect JRPG destination for me in the future.
YES, another Steam Deck video from MJR, LOVE it. Thanks...mine arrives next week, can't wait!
I was aware of the Steam Deck but haven’t really thought of purchasing it. But the possibilities of this device is possibly endless! Could use it for an arcade cabinet, maybe a racing cabinet as long as the 360/Xbox One peripherals are compatible. Playing PC games on the go or on a HDTV…..I may have to start putting some money on the side for this!
Got my deck this week so perfect timing.
Just got my steamdeck 2 days ago. I need some if this stuff
I order my dock and it's coming next week, but I haven't grabbed a shell. I like the one you have so I'll grab the one from your link. I've had my Steam Deck since June and I just started getting into emulation and the Steam Deck is a beast.
I'm loving my Steam Deck. It's the best device I've bought in years.
I hate bots.
Just finished compiling your list & man I can't wait to get my hands on it all! 😁
Awesome video really enjoyed it! From your videos I have been inspired to start my own game collection 🙌
I was going through your SteamDeck recommendations just now and all of a sudden I see this video! I’m definitely going to get one now because of your reviews on this lately. Much love from a 5 year subscriber 🙏🏼
I remember when the 1TB micro SD was worth over $400 when it first came out lol
You’re the king. Of handheld devices MJ!!!
Great picks. I had never heard of that nexdock, what a cool concept.
You're the only other person I know that owns a pair of Meze 99 Classics. Absolutely wonderful set of headphones and I bought mine originally for use with my Switch, following the testing of LOTS of APTX Low Latency BT cans ... NONE of which (even with APTX LL BT adapter) provided a 'lag free audio' solution. I did a lot more research and opted for the Meze - not dissapointed and I now use them with my Deck :)
Incredibly insightful! I’m going to be traveling more for work in the near future and I’ve been really torn between this and the OLED Switch. Still haven’t made up my mind completely but this definitely helps!
Steam Deck x 10!
finally got my steam deck purchase email so this video came in at a PERFECT time ... good to hear that dock works well might give that shot!
+1 to the DLseego Steam Deck TPU Protective Case , been using since day one , awesome product
FiiO BTR5 works amazing with the Deck and even supports LDAC codec
Just crazy how much memory these tiny Micro SD cards offer... 🤯🤯🤯
I would not have believed it as a kid…or even 20 years ago!
I was at university in the early 90s in New Zealand. I don't think all the computers in the country had more than 1gb total RAM, and if you put them all in one place, it would definitely be bigger than your finger 😅😅
No kidding...it's mind-boggling - I remember my first PC back in the late 90s was a Packard Bell with a whopping 2GB HDD and 256MB of RAM.
decent gadget glad i got one worth the wait
Great video Jason
Will keep these accessories in mind when I have the means to get a deck
I don't even own a steam deck, nor do I plan to, but I do love a good accessories video. Well done on this video MJ! Keep them coming!
Thanks! 🙏
i didnt know about the NextDock, i definitely want this in the near future.
Steam deck + dock is the perfect combo 🔝
Great video! Need to get a steam deck but keep wondering when a pro one/V2 will be released. Liked your review style and all the different camera shots etc which went into the editing! :)
Thanks! This was a fun video to shoot and edit. Like you mentioned, lots of little shots
Very interesting! I didn't know there were so many accessories!
Right?!
Yes, I agree with the Meze 99s, but I do recommend if any one is on a budget or just like an all blacked out version of it, get the Meze 99 Noir, its the same specs and walnut cups but all black and 100 bucks less.
I watch all your videos regardless as to its content. I just love your channel. Course my favs are your pick-up vids.
that was a well made and informative video. thank you mr. jesus
hey metal jesus I love the videos
Thank you for the video!!
My pleasure!
Love the Steam Deck videos!!!
Glad to hear it!
I love watching all these Accesories videos even though I don't own a steam deck
Definitely some interesting stuff here.
I have one of the old Motorola Atrix Lapdock. It's not USB-C compliment (as it hadn't been invented yet). But, it has a USB connection for trackpad & keyboard, and a micro HDMI for video & audio. I've used it for a few things over the years... A second monitor during COVID (for Zoom), portable monitor for Raspberry Pies, portable monitor while travelling with consoles (mine & otherwise), switch, etc. It has a lower Res screen, but it does the job!
I just got my 512gb steam deck model yesterday I’ve been enjoying it nonstop and this is my first experience with pc gaming so it just feels magical to me😂. Anyways thank you so much for this video I was wondering what would be the best portable power cell so thank you very much for this video!
1:05 depends on the game you're playing and the quality settings you're playing it at. With the kind of games i've been playing, and at 30fps/lower res with FSR enabled, I've been getting 4 to 6 hours battery life. But yes, power brick is a must have if you're going long distance.
I just got my steam deck so perfect timing
Metal Jesus Rocks!!
The best accessory for steam deck, hands down, is the nreal air glasses. More youtubers need to try them.
Awesome absolutely awesome list of accessories. Nice! 😁
Glad you're making more deck content.
Glad you enjoy it!
Just got my email for Deck Today #HappyDays 😍
Thanks for the Intel! Loving the steam deck content
Also, wired controllers are underrated. No messing with wireless settings, and you don't have to worry about battery life
I have the same back cover , it’s essential in my opinion, the deck is pretty slippy without it
The first 1TB MicroSD card I bought was for my Switch like two years ago. Well over $300 at the time. 😬
Crazy how prices come down on some tech, huh?
The #1 Steam Deck accessory - the one above ALL = 3D Printer.
The new Logitech Zone wireless earbuds sound amazing on steam deck.
i need the shell and screen protector
Ha! I got my steam deck yesterday. Ended up getting the same exact shell by pure coincidence.
No.4 is handy when you're at Chuck E. Cheese.
I love the Nexdock 360 for my steam deck. I have been able to get world of Warcraft installed and playing on my steam deck and using it with a Bluetooth mouse (Razer Basilisk X Hyperseed) means I don’t have to drag my MacBook with me for short visits with family.
Eric, as someone who also plays WoW...how is performance generally on it? I really only play at 1080p currently on my gaming laptop so i know id stick to that resolution but what about raiding etc? Performance ok? I get mine in about 10 days so excited...
@@YoreHistory it actually performs well. Install protonup-qt and let it install ge-proton 7.24. It doesn’t lag too much but I have left it at the default settings. When it charges up I’ll edit the post and let you know what the graphics settings are.
I have not raided with it since I quit raiding in battle for Azeroth.
Was a bit nervous about trying out a dock for the Steam Deck at first because of all the third party docks that bricked many Switch owner's systems, but since you recommended it, I went ahead and ordered the one in the video and am excited to finally get the Deck on my TV!
I always come to these types of videos in hopes I find something new I could use. Nope, I always have everything, sigh.
I like the look of that case at #4 but the d-pad is pretty close to the edges of the Deck as is, have you noticed it being awkward at all with the case attached?
What shell is the best? Preferably with the front covered too, because we all know that if something protected falls - it falls to the unprotected side...this is the way
Very informative video. Quick question, can you use a wired mouse and keyboard with that dock as well?
Oh…you said “wired”… haven’t tried it but I would assume they would work just fine.
Awesome
Got my mid tier one a month ago and love love love how fast it runs games from sd card and moves data between that and internal too . I am considering a protective shell too. GOOD Samsung 256 gb cards can be only $20. Serious
Mid teir is seriously the best value version. Has the ssd but not a super high price tag
3:59
Poor Lamar.
LoL!
Geez, the Steam Deck almost looks like a switch lite in your hands, sir!
Daft question, is there a dock like the switch one that can be powered from the mains and just be used for video out?
Just curious, but is there a reason you don't but the fabric strap underneath the Deck? The intention and design of those straps is to give you something to pull on so you can get it out easier. I was just surprised seeing you flop it onto the screen like that, so I was wondering if there was a reason you put it on top vs. on the bottom where it should be. Great video, by the way.
if i were into handhelds the steam deck is what i would go for..its just a little beast.
Great video. What was that pixel top down shooter game at like 9min 28 sec?
Vampire Survivors. It’s a crazy rogue-like bullethell shooter. Insanely addictive.
Concerning the protective shell did it heat up? Read that it doesn't properly vent out and issues trying to get to micro SD card. Did you have any issues?
It was so funny seeing you hook up the steam deck to a laptop, kind of redundant isn't it? Just use a usb-C hub and plug it into a TV and add a keyboard. I have a gaming laptop, don't need two lol
Yay!
Hi Jason 👋
What about the joystick protectors? They lock it in place so it doesn't get damaged if not using a case
Your dock seems to output a nice framerate on your TV. Did you just reduce the settings or any tips? I tried that with mine but doesn't help much, maybe my dock is garbage but it looks identical to yours haha!
Interested in that case, just need a colour I like!
I managed to get a 1TB & 512gb card just from trading in a beat up vita slim & 64gb vita Card. 1tb is in my steam deck, 512gb in my oled 3g vita (with 3g removed) so I now have all my games on 1 card & can still play physical!
I do want adock though. Any rumours as to when valve will release or what price?
Most of the decent docks seem out of stock in the UK or very expensive.
With the doc can you use a usb to Ethernet adapter so you can play online? I did it with my switch no problem so I figure it would have that capability.
Does the steam deck heat up a lot and does it need additional cooling like when gaming on a cell phone?
I've barely touched my relatively powerful desktop the last few months because I've been playing the Steam Deck. There's just something about it!
With the Steam Deck and docking station, can you also use a mouse/keyboard or does it only play with the laptop accessory?
Heeeey, we have the same headphones - love the Meze, legit the most comfortable headphones I've ever used.🤘
They sound great right out of the box, but if you connect them to a DAC and amplifier they absolutely SING.
Which DAC do are you using or recommend?
@@brantlisk786 I have mine running through a Schiit Audio Magni paired with their Modi DAC.
If you want something more affordable, straightforward, and is simply plug and play, then you could try either their Fulla or Hel units which are an amp and DAC all in one.
I have the Fulla as well, and for the price it works wonders.
Sweet Jason! ..and dang bro….u rich!!!
Nice I got one of the Docks from your link
More videos covering steam deck !
First of all, I'm learning so much from your channel! Thank you!
Like that gutless laptop, what a weird and genius concept.
Second, I had expensive wired Sony headphones, my cat completely destroyed them.
Dock. That's it. That's the word. That's the thing what I want.
4:38 I feel you man, no man should be seen from that angle...
i like this guy
Make sure you check out all the bundles on steam I would love a video about it I have the Disney and edios ones but they have one for NFS/ ea racing one for COD a decent one for resident evil and lots of others rebuying games sucks less with how cheep games can get on steam
Thanks for the video Jason! Do you find games take much longer to load on the Micro SD card versus the SSD internal storage ?
I haven’t noticed honestly. The SD scare I bought is the fastest option I believe
@@MetalJesusRocks Good to know! Will try to get the same one then.
Does the Anker 747 fit inside the space on the back of the carry case?
Does the cover make the Deck run any hotter?
does your battery still drain when using the dock even when its plugged in? mine does
The strip of fabric in the carrying case goes under the deck to help take it out, in case anyone didn't know.
Hey Metal Jesus..I also have the nexdock but was disappointed with its touchpad. It completely stops working as palm detection when a key is pressed on the keyboard and only restarts working once the key is released.. It makes operations that require control / shift and drag impossible. Did you find the same problem?
