I've written elsewhere that the gray buttons were the absolute best choice they could've made. It reminds me of my childhood GBA. Another commenter under ETA Prime's video mentioned that it had Dreamcast vibes. White-ish with gray buttons is a classic look that needs to make a comeback. Hopefully this is the first of many in that color scheme.
I bought the 64gb LCD Steam Deck when it launched & upgraded the SSD to 1TB, a year later I ended up winning a 512GB OLED Steam Deck & have been running it ever since
I've had the LCD model since they were released and reluctantly passed on the first limited edition in the transparent grey with orange accents. I kept eyeing this one up and finally grabbed one after seeing this and the video Russ posted.
1. That’s a Mumba case, not Supcase. Skull & Co. has a better and lighter case in that cutout style (i own both) 2. The smokey translucent LE looks nicer.
Great insight on their latest re-Skin alteration #2... Those big Daddy fellow devices should be rocking DuaL UsB-C... Or and Usb-a too... It's actual wide kickstand... full size SSD's... No need for dock... The thing is a full fledged PC... This is not any way special for the price... Need to have more io's... Even stylus support... 🧐😎🤔
I'm giving my partner the current modified LCD variant that I have, and this will be my final handheld purchase until Valve's next release. No sense in spec-chasing over the next year, as the handheld space is going to be very competitive in 2025. The Deck is the perfect indie machine for me, so I'll stick to those expectations for handheld gaming experiences until the "Steam Deck 2" arrives. Okay, and yes, perhaps I'll buy a "Switch 2" as well -- sue me.
@theLonelyLemnn I don't think so. I wish Value showed what material they used for the coating because if you owned one it's not just white. It has a very light pink hue to the white steam deck. I bought one and the texture and color isn't like what you see in this video. I think Value knew what they were doing when they thought about the white edition however time will tell.
As in Portal - "The cake (err white Steam Deck) is a lie". No this is NOT white. More like off-white. That carrying case quote "on the toilet" sums it up too. The design is dropping a deuce.

What's your thoughts on the White OLED model? Pretty or pretty meh? Next, Green?
I think the gray buttons make it work

@@guardianbeardizer6361 where did you win it?
@Apears4 it was a FB community I was a part of for a while. They disbanded in September sadly, but I'm sure there's more like it
That case will get so filthy so quickly. The deck itself is gorgeous.
Tomtoc armor case man
White Steam Deck is amazing. But black Steam Deck is master piece.
i have thee black oleed onee and just oredered the whitee limited ed onee...i find the white one more estethic
@@ブラックマフィン I had a stroke reading this lol
@@ブラックマフィン why so many?
I got one too! It's so f'n cool. I've never had one, neither a SteamDeck nor an Ally nor any of the others, so it's pretty revelatory.

waiting for this to arrive at my door later today
I bought my 512 LCD with the etched screen when the OLED came out for a fraction of the price thanks for the discount
Don’t regret it it’s perfect
Glossy screen always looks better, in the right setting. Etched glass is more functional but less oomphy
Love the content man! Keep up the good work!
I get to wait till Christmas to open mine
For me Black looks better than white and glossy looks better than etched.
Welp gonna have to return the Jsaux dock I just got to get the new white dock
U seem genuine you gotta sub and a like 👍 merry Christmas

I still like the standard black best
Reminds me of my old commodore 64... Very tempting.
She's a beauty!
It reminds me so much the white psp from back in the day
I'll stick to my black LCD one but did the 2TB upgrade
I got white steam deck on this week and my question is d pad had loose? Its a normal problem?
I really wanted one of these, but in my country, my only option is $1600 on eBay. I could look at doing a shell swap I guess

Does it taste like Mayonnaise too?
It does!

How much?
Ally went from white to black while SD went the opposite lol
Is it just me or my oled is takeing forever to ship smh it’s been 5 days

I have the LE smokey one and it looks better.
Wow!

Props to people who dig it, but we're gonna see loads of posts about them turning yellow like the 360 controllers.

it's a scam and a cash grab. Very disappointing from valve.

I think the hyper-saturated, red-orange thumbsticks make the translucent grey Steamdeck look jarring and very ugly. But that's just my opinion.
