I'm pretty convinced that Valve is only able to deliver quality like this because they're a private company. No shareholders to please, no strict profit goals to meet. They are content to deliver high quality even if it shaves down on their own margins a little bit. Had they been a public company, this would be nowhere near as good as it is. Good job Valve.
It's so good tho. A rlly clean box. With usual warnings, however they added some portal references which makes it cooler. Then your straight in with the deck and the power cable. Brilliant job on valves part.
@@harmfulifconsumed It uses latest generation silicon with record high power efficiency. Now you can play intensive games at just 15-25W power consumption. How is that bad for the planet again?
The charging port on the top is a good idea in my opinion. I get annoyed about the port being on the bottom of the Switch so often, because you can't prop it on a table while charging
Nintendo release a 20 USD adapter that allows to charge it while is on a table. It is incredibly dumb thou that the USB-C port was not built on the top on the switch also.
@@GXShade I would have been fine if the adapter were just to be bought for a more stable experience plus the USB ports, but no: It's just the only way to charge and play at the same time. If there's one good thing out of this, it limited my play time when I really shouldn't have been binging, but that's beside the point.
@@waffluru Who knows if third parties will come through now that OLED Switch brought design precedent? With a top charging port, you don't need to raise the bottom anymore.
0:41 Among the different locations, in French, there is "Sur le trône" (On the Throne) which is a very French expression, and very slang, to designate the toilet. It's this kind of attention to detail that makes Vavle so amazing.
My dad always referred to the throne when dropping the kids off at the pool and he's a monolingual Mancunian. But I do like the English interpretation of french phrases. The slang for a gentleman's trouser trumpet translated is a little bald man in a polo neck sweater . 🇫🇷
I love that the first thing he does it smash it with his fists. It was in a case, so dropping it wouldn't have done much. Guess that was the next best option lol
Yeah. I wish more companies did this. I thought it was obvious. Imagine my surprise when my bass guitar came loose in a cardboard box, with the extra padded carrying case flopping next to it.

@@ruffethereal1904 But if they don't put the device in the case, the packaging will be larger so when shipping, they cannot deliver as many products. It really isn't any extra work either when someone has to put the things in the package box. It's just weird. edit: spelling
I think that Valve is so good at audio and devices because their team are often gamers or audiophiles. The people who designed the device are in tune with what the people wanted.
A gamer headset sucks compared to an audiophile headphone. In my country, you can recognize gaming headsets because everything has RGB. Only the keyboard needs RGB (maybe just one color) as it needs to be backlit.
I love that Valve went for ergonomics and full-size analogue sticks over flatter profile and smaller Switch-style sticks. Those are the two glaring issues with playing the Switch in portable mode: my hands cramp up after only 10 minutes.

@@UNSCPILOT Well, since Steam Deck is a PC and most emulators have native Linux versions, the device can emulate almost every Nintendo platform from NES, SNES, N64, GameCube, Wii, GameBoy, GBC, GBA, DS, 3DS and finally the Switch. That's almost every console/handheld generation for the past 3 decades. CEMU, which is a Wii U emulator, is going open-source so the chances of a Linux version is very high. Because of that, the Steam Deck now has the very potential to emulate all Nintendo platforms, and that's not even including PlayStation, Sega, Atari and even Xbox. Pretty good for an All-in-one Emulation device, if that's your plan.
I've always felt hand helds should have a recessed power connector with a right-angle cable. Recess would protect port from torqueing it by bending the cable and the right-angle would just allow the cable to sit a little lower. Thanks for the tour. Might be a good gift for my son. 👍
You can buy right angled usb connectors, but I agree that a slightly recessed connection could be useful for having a connection on the bottom of the device.
I think a standard right-angle connection is enough, if you try to resess the connection you risk making it incompatible with off the shelf cables and USB-C hubs, hopefully the port itself is just well reinforced to shrug off heavy use
And yeah, I will probably get a GaN 45W brick and a right-angle cable to go along with my deck. I'll also be able to use it for my laptop so it's a win-win.
Love the fact it has a case that is actually a useful case, and not just cardboard you throw :D BTW the space in the back seems to be a cradle for the charger. Considering that the deck takes all the space in the case, seems to be highly probable to have an external area to put your charger in
I just got myself a PSP for christmas and yes, small low res screens help a lot to make low spec graphics look better than they are. Compared to emulated PSP games on the PC with a ton of post processing slapped ontop, the PSP just looks so much better.
@@randgrithr7387 If you only play games on your phone, sure go with 720p. But if you want to read text look at images and in general do other stuff the additional sharpness of 1080 makes a big difference. Also I believe there are not many modern phones with less than 1080p

I love how Steam pretty much abandoned Steam Machine and Steam Controller and put them two together and - BOOM! - Steam Deck. I hope they'll keep supporting it and release an updated version in some point.
Suuuuper happy to hear that the speakers are top notch! I really like when my portable device has great speakers. I recently got an ipad Pro and was shocked at how great the speakers sound on it.
Valve knows their stuff with audio. I have an Index, and the speakers on that thing are incredible. Hell, if Valve sold a gaming headset, I'd be the first one in line to buy it
It's definitely low on the totem pole for me in terms of priorities, I can't really think of when I would be using my deck without needing to wear headphones!
0:34 there’s even a Portal reference! “In a test chamber” I really like Valve put it on there. Edit: there’s also the possibility that it’s a Half life reference. Thanks for that one dude “a fish” who wrote a good and sensible explanation in a friendly manner. (Probs and love to “a fish” on that matter. Also excellent account name :D ) If someone wants mine here ya go: in Portal you play in test chambers. Every level has a big sign titled “test chamber XY”. “On the moon” may be a stretch but reminds me of Portal 2. Thanks, Aamukta Malyada for adding the following: And there are the companion cube and other Portal signs on the box at 00:23
It could be half life one. "They're waiting for you gordon. In the test chamberrr" is somewhat memorable because chamberr is said somewhat distinctly and its before the resonance cascade. But its probably portal
Glad you mentioned the capacitive sticks, the touchpads also not only click and track like trackpads, but you can assign and differentiate between a full click and a light touch, which I though was really cool, comes in handy for games with inventories or menus that benefit from quick accessibility, like the ship screens in Elite Dangerous or the inventories of No Man's Sky.
I think including the Switch in the size/weight comparison would have been REALLY helpful. Yes, I know it's not a 'competitor' to the Deck to the same extent that the other consoles are (although as you said in the LTT video, even their comparison as competitors is limited). But as a handheld gaming device, the Switch is far more ubiquitous. The Switch is something that I (and many others) have a tangible, real understanding of its size and weight; hence comparing it would be far more useful in helping us visualise the size/weight of the Deck. Rather than just comparing it to a bunch of things which most people have also never held/seen IRL.
There's a sub-category of portability that the Switch finally tapped into. All of the previous consoles like the PSP/Vita and xDS were designed for leaving your house. They were truly miniature and could all easily fit into a pocket. When the Switch came along, it felt big and clunky at first but it appealed to people who just wanted the ease of an instant-on gaming device that they could carry from room to room. And, if they felt like it, they could also stuff it into a backpack and take it on a trip.
@@Tazerboy_10 Oh for sure. Those joysticks and screen needs that extra protection. But it is handy once you own a case. Not much weight would be applied to the carry bag too.
It really shows what Valve learned from the Index, if they ever come out with a Index 2 or something along those lines, I’m confident it’ll be awesome.
Based on Rumours, they are workin on a Valve Index 2 or "Deckard", and it's possible that the Steamdeck is a "testbed" for portable hardware so they can verify things before shipping the Index 2 / Deckard as a hybrid portable or tethered VR headset for Steam VR, likely running it's own modded version of SteamOS 3.0 specifically designed for VR. But again, it's mostly rumours and estimations from patents Valve has been filing
I was thinking the same. They should start making gaming headsets and even gaming earbuds for portable devices, like their new Steam Deck. A gaming audio focus division or subsidiary of valve would make a lot of money and do a lot of good.
I just hope this isn’t a “one and done” thing and Valve releases a new model a few years in the future when technology has advanced enough to justify it.
@@Hugo_Prolovski I hope it’s somewhere between Nintendo handheld release cycles and maybe the lifetime of the PS2. 4-10 years would be a good difference time, imo. 4 years is still a little too soon, but the bare minimum of acceptable and may be the proper way to go since CPUs are evolving quickly recently.
@@v3xman I could see them skipping a Deck 2 and instead going with a new VR headset with a custom AMD APU built-in. The Oculus Quest doesn’t really have any direct competitors, so I’d love to see them try their hand at a standalone headset that requires no PC to function, while also letting you play non-VR Steam games on a virtual big-screen TV.
Im excited to play modern games sometimes, but this just enabled me to play all of my classic PC games on the go. Im hoping I'm on the earlier side of the Q2 launch because I cannot wait!.
I don't think I've been this excited for a piece of technology in a long long time. I've got mine reserved, but I'm after Q2 so it's gonna be a haul. But at least I got a spot. I'm not about to pay $1200 for this thing on eBay. I got the next tier down from this one, think I might see if there's a matte antiglare screen protector.
Oh there's for sure going to be screen protectors for it. I wouldn't even be surprised if dbrand made one. Or some other company that makes "paper-like" screen protectors.
I'm going to use a screen protector regardless of the model that I got so I figured why have a glossy screen protector over a matte screen and why have two layers of matte. So yeah, I also got the 256.
I think the protector will ruin image quality (slight blur). I tried this once with older tablet and it was a big tradeoff :/ . But there is no better experience than your own so... hope it works for you.
@@JustOneGuy you didn’t order it yet. You put down 5 dollars to serve a place in line to pre-order it. Pre orders for the selected first reservists will start feb 25th. Shipments will probably be next year
The Steam Deck is looking fantastic and I'm glad that I reserved the 512GB version. Still, part of me still hopes that Valve will do a Steam Controller 2 one day. I really enjoyed my time with the first one.
@@mr10aclock23 Not yet. Though the page did say that new units will be released on Q2 of this year so I would imagine that the purchase emails will start coming out somewhere around that time frame.

@@Nickbaldeagle02 True but you cant lie that that would be a smarter way to make a charger.. since how people would use your own product would make a lot of sense of why they should start.
I would like in the future to see the Switch compared as well (size, weight would have been cool). It's not an apples to apples comparison (not a PC), but I think there's some value in using it for comparison because someone looking for a handheld console might be in the position of choosing between the two.
@@pilotofthings7538 The specs of the Switch relative to other devices being released simultaneously were already outdated on day 1. The Switch itself is still relevant and modern until Nintendo starts supporting the successor. It's also a hundred bucks cheaper than the baseline Deck. And every single game you buy will work on the device.
@@tilgare Great points, probably should correct myself but I mean from what we've seen in terms of performance from the deck compared to the switch + that they've stated we will be able to install third party software and os is easily worth the $100
@@pilotofthings7538 It really just comes down at that point to what games you want to play as always - Nintendo games, or everything else? Lol. The Steam Deck out of the box should be a PC but with a proper console experience, so hopefully the tinkerer PC player isn't the primary audience, and they really can eat into the console market (meanwhile a tinkerer can still dual boot Windows or whatever).
For someone with big hands, I for one am really happy with how large the controller sticks look. I always hated how stubby the sticks were on the Switch; the Steam Deck's look to be the perfect size.
I'm super excited for the Deck. If I could afford it I'd want the new Aya Neo, it's just more portable, but the Deck's price compensates a lot tbh. I just hope Valve doesn't completely kill the smaller handheld companies.
@Oooo-bi7bi I've had mine for a little over a year now and I love it! It's not a perfect device, but it's pretty damn great tbh. I especially like all the extra controls, since I've played some old PC games without controller support (Witcher 1 and now Dragon Age: Origins). I'd like even more buttons tbh, I think they could squeeze in another couple on the back grip 😅 and the touchpads, especially the right-hand one, has been absolutely unbeatable for replacing a mouse. I remember someone (I think their CEO?) saying in interviews that the Deck was priced painfully low for Valve, and I believe it - I got the 64 GB version, it cost less than my mid-range phone. Insanely good value tbh. I hope you like yours as much as I love mine!
@@FaerieDust cheers my Faerie friend. In a difficult place at moment or had a bad day and you have just cheered me up. Got my first smartphone when the Galaxy 2 came out. It was the first time I've gamed since my Atari ST in the eighties. Was a bit impressed but it's not until 5 years later that I needed apple product's to help me make my music. I discovered they do games and The graphics were better but it's the gameplay. Can't decide between console or steam deck. The quality of PC games is tempting but I'm not that dedicated that I could justify to myself spending so much and taking up loads of space in my flat. After many months I forced myself to buy the steam deck this morning. I can now see why the kids of today don't want to play out. I've ordered the 64 as they had no refurbished. Friend said he has the middle one. I've never even played a console or PC game. Sat here trying to decide if I should return instantly and go for the next one up. Any chance you could share some of your magical knowledge.
Same dude! Can't wait for steamdeck content. Sadly I'm in nursing school, so gonna wait for second generation iterations probably. But still want to spread the hype.
It makes me really happy that they acknowledged Submariners in the box text of where you could play the steam deck. Not even 45 seconds into this video and I am thoroughly impressed.
It's portable to a certain extent for actually taking somewhere, then settling down and playing, like for an office lunchbreak or relaxing on a holiday/vacation, in a hotel room etc.. and also when you just want to play in bed. But on the go times, like tight plane/train/bus etc... seats situations, I wouldn't want someone next to me on one. It's a bit like a boom box back in the day portable and ok, for when you are in certain situations/places, but a walkman/discman would be better for on the move situations.
valve should start selling headphones with how incredible the index and now steam deck is. every time i use my index i am lost for words with how good the mic and sound is.
They just need to drop a wireless headset with a pair of good off ear headphones and they'd have me sold immediately. The current market that basically only has over ear or in ear systems just sucks. It's even impossible to get decent on ear stuff, those things have vanished from the shelves completely. They'd literally have absolutely no competition.
I am absolutely glad this thing doesn't have a charging port on the bottom. This theoretical "reach issue" can easily be fixed, but not being able to rest the thing on your lap or against yourself as you play is far worse. It is for this reason that I cannot play a switch in handheld mode while it has to charge, because I'll probably break the charging cable by bending it at a sharp angle when I try to play it in a resting position.
the balance of the device affects a lot on how heavy it feels. a great example is the logitech pro wireless and ultralight pro wireless. there isn't much of a change of weight but it has been rebalanced which makes it feels many times lighter. the steam deck is likely better balanced to spread the load better meaning you can use it for longer.
@@rawhide_kobayashi that really just speaks to your own lack of audio experience. On ear headphones are an abomination. It's impossible to sound as good as over or in ears & the sound bleed is abysmal.
Realistically I find myself gaming for maybe a max of 2 hours. Maybe 4 if I’m really into a game. So if the minimum is more than 2 hours that’s great to me.

I still can't imagine myself lugging that thing around with me, heck, i even thought the switch was too big, as usual, will buy this and play it at home, on the balcony while sipping a coffee and enjoying the sea breeze.
I fly alot, and i use my laptop mainly to watch content or play games with a controller, i cant wait to use this on a 10 hour flight when i get my hands on mine.
1280x800 screen was the best decision Valve made. Cost, effectiveness on rdna2 graphics, and offers amazong potential for an ultra high quality screen for a reasonable price. Hope the colour accuracy and speed are as good as they should be. Maybe in a year they'll pull a Nintendo and make "OLED Steam Deck"
It's a mix. The shoulder buttons are Xbox and so are the ABXY buttons on the right. The joysticks are a mix of PS and Xbox since neither of them have both sticks up high. PS has the sticks equal to each other (but lower) while Xbox has its left thumbstick up high, which is why I called it a mix. Honestly pretty smart move by Valve I think everyone will feel at home with the layout. It obviously has some Steam Controller influence as well for moving the mouse.
@@Do_the_Scarn abxy isn't an xbox thing it's just the only way to avoid Sony's copyright, and the sticks aren't both high up relative to your hand position. They are a bit to the inside and lower than the face buttons and d pad. I'm not familiar with xbox shoulder buttons so can't comment about that. To me this looks exactly like a dualshock 4 but with the central touch pad split up and put underneath. V excites
There are several cool features to try or that would be cool to have * For remote play, going to bed while your PC does the work could be much better than with a phone. * It gave me Wii U vibes, you could have games using the Steam Deck's screen as a secondary screen (map, inventory, character stats, etc) while using the Steam Deck as a controller for a game running in your PC.
I hope one day valve brings back the steam controller, I ended up retiring mine due to the fact that I ran that thing right into the ground over 2 years of constant and I do mean constant use.
Unlikely. The reason they stopped producing them was because they were sued for patent infringement over the back paddles. They'll probably do a steam controller 2 though at some point.
There was a patten for a steam deck two about 7 months ago or so. At this point time will tell. Also, my condolence for your loss. I still have mine and as soon as I saw it was discontinued I immediately put extra on my care on mine to keep it alive for many years to come. It is an impress piece of hardware for sure.
Still use my steam controller as my go to controller. Really hope they do a SC2. Wouldn't mind those 4 paddle buttons from the deck. Interested to compare the two whenever I get my hands on a steam deck.

Headphone jack being removed just a fad that (hopefully) will die soon.

You could always partner up with some well loved indie companies and make themed accessories and cases for the SteamDeck, since there’s alot of gamers who love certain games but there’s not much in the way of merch ^^ i’m excited to play MTASandrock and SlimeRancher 2 on the SteamDeck. Also picontier. I have a hunch This would also be great for developers too!
Would honestly love themed steam decks. They're fairly common in the console world, although valve has a history of minimal designs in dark shades. Maybe if full shell swaps are easier on the steam deck 2.

@@Gramini of course, the protagonist of the half life series is a theoretical physicist named Gordon Freeman who is working at a secret research facility called Black Mesa. In the first half life game, you are being sent to a test chamber in order to conduct some sort of experiment which ends up going wrong and causes the whole facility to be invaded by aliens (or resonance cascade as its called In-Game). So basically, that could also be a reference to the test chamber where the resonance cascade occurred in the first half life game.
@@n0body704 Thanks for the explanation :) Gonna play HL on my Deck, that's for sure. Does that mean we get Portal 3 *and* HL 3? And that the 3s are cascading to other franchises, making TF3 and Left4Dead3 a thing as well? Wishful thinking :D
@@Gramini I'm hoping that they would at least bring a third game for one of their games. Half life 3 was pretty much already confirmed with the ending of half life alyx, who knows maybe portal 3 will become a thing very soon with other games releasing after that
I use back paddles on controllers all the time. Playing racing games, I want my index fingers on the triggers, and that means I can't access the bumpers, having rear paddles is such a good add.
You know you can hold a controller with 4 fingers on all the top buttons right? It's actually the intentionally designed way to hold a controller. Might feel akward at first but it becomes very fluid and comfortable after a little while.
Looking forward to getting mine. I reserved the big boy, and I'm in the July timeframe, which is good, because that's enough time for all the hardware and software issues to come to light, giving me time to decide if it's still worth buying or waiting for everything to be fixed.

I haven't been excited to buy gaming hardware for a couple years now. Haven't been able to buy any gaming hardware for a couple of years now if I wanted lol. Very pleased with the release system they've got set up.
FINALLY something that might feel ergonomic.. the switch gives me hand cramps. Also yay! A device that actually lets you drop the brightness to reasonable (dark room, dark plane) levels. Can you actually compare the screen types and 'special case' vs normal? UPGRADE SSD? I'd assume the OS swapping (windows) and trying non-steam is planned for a future embargo BTW this thing is more powerful than my decade old PC
People at Valve are pretty much nerds, gamers, audiophiles, tech dudes etc.. it's people that really understands what their costumers want and have the money to deliver all of it.
@@ThePowerOfScience Well they got like 4 things correct.. the link worked, it just became a app, the controller was good but not marketed so it became less profitable.. and then the vive headset they made obviously is perfect, its ironic but there like a company that kept failing and just figured out what clicked while everyone metaphorically said "you cant do it"
Great video! It's awesome finally getting to see a hands on with a legit production unit. I have one bit of feedback though. I wish you had included a switch for the size/ weight comparison. Since that has a much bigger install base it would have been a more useful comparison for the average person. Personally, I have limited space in my bag, and anything bigger than a Switch is impractical for me to include in my daily carry (though it might still be workable for me on long trips/ vacation if it's a bit bigger)
I miss the steam controller. Yes the rumble was crap, busy the usability, there was nothing like it. It's saddening that no one took up the freedom to develop their own based on Valves schematics. My fear is that it seams Valve does not have an interest in taking any of their products and develop them further, refining on what they produce.
You can see a lot of the design philosophy of the steam controller in the deck, and you can tell it's been refined and improved significantly. Hopefully we'll see a steam controller 2.0 with these improvements.
@@deadering I'm hoping :) although I see there being an end goal that we are not aware of. Each one of these hardware releases from Valve, is simply a proof of concept to a far grander plan. I just wonder, why not both? My expectoration is that there will not be a steam deck 2.0, even if it is just updating the hardware.
@@Flashfake I think the reason why Valve has not made a V2 of the Steam Controller is because they lost a patent lawsuit which contributed to the eventual discontinuation of the Steam Controller, though it was discontinued before the lawsuit.

Yeah I learnt from a guitarist friend that when buying an instrument by a good case for it . I've transferred that from my instruments to all my other costly equipment.
My wife got me one for Christmas. She doesn't know that I know. It sucks that she already has it somewhere in the house and I can't get my hands on it.
Look, it isn't a laughable ripoff that could literally buy you a pre-built computer. Also, I wish that these companies would copy DJI's approach to thumbsticks: you can unscrew them and they have little holding slots. It's a game-changer.
I thought about that too, but I can't see how they'd feasibly do so in this form factor. The fact that they're replaceable at all is a big win already.

The whole concept that this will totally destroy the Switch is ridiculous to say the VERY least. Switch isn't going anywhere and this is HARDLY a threat to Nintendo lol!
I'm pretty convinced that Valve is only able to deliver quality like this because they're a private company. No shareholders to please, no strict profit goals to meet. They are content to deliver high quality even if it shaves down on their own margins a little bit. Had they been a public company, this would be nowhere near as good as it is. Good job Valve.

The charging port on the top is a good idea in my opinion. I get annoyed about the port being on the bottom of the Switch so often, because you can't prop it on a table while charging
Agree, 2nd biggest flaw of tabletop mode for original models.
Nintendo release a 20 USD adapter that allows to charge it while is on a table. It is incredibly dumb thou that the USB-C port was not built on the top on the switch also.
@@GXShade I would have been fine if the adapter were just to be bought for a more stable experience plus the USB ports, but no:
It's just the only way to charge and play at the same time.
If there's one good thing out of this, it limited my play time when I really shouldn't have been binging, but that's beside the point.
That's valid and all for the Switch but this doesn't exactly have a kickstand to prop it on the table or detachable controllers to begin with
@@waffluru Who knows if third parties will come through now that OLED Switch brought design precedent? With a top charging port, you don't need to raise the bottom anymore.

Also there is Russian "на даче", which means russian-specific countryside house, designed to live in summer.

@@UNSCPILOT And even more hilarious only about 5% of people who play on the Switch care about performance, while everyone else just plays for fun :D
@@UNSCPILOT Well, since Steam Deck is a PC and most emulators have native Linux versions, the device can emulate almost every Nintendo platform from NES, SNES, N64, GameCube, Wii, GameBoy, GBC, GBA, DS, 3DS and finally the Switch. That's almost every console/handheld generation for the past 3 decades. CEMU, which is a Wii U emulator, is going open-source so the chances of a Linux version is very high. Because of that, the Steam Deck now has the very potential to emulate all Nintendo platforms, and that's not even including PlayStation, Sega, Atari and even Xbox. Pretty good for an All-in-one Emulation device, if that's your plan.
@@dragonfang8670 Better performance = more fun
I've always felt hand helds should have a recessed power connector with a right-angle cable. Recess would protect port from torqueing it by bending the cable and the right-angle would just allow the cable to sit a little lower. Thanks for the tour. Might be a good gift for my son. 👍
You can buy right angled usb connectors, but I agree that a slightly recessed connection could be useful for having a connection on the bottom of the device.
I think a standard right-angle connection is enough, if you try to resess the connection you risk making it incompatible with off the shelf cables and USB-C hubs, hopefully the port itself is just well reinforced to shrug off heavy use
@@UNSCPILOT Meanwhile Nintendo: "Making it incompatible is the point"
And yeah, I will probably get a GaN 45W brick and a right-angle cable to go along with my deck. I'll also be able to use it for my laptop so it's a win-win.
Yes... For your son 😏
Love the fact it has a case that is actually a useful case, and not just cardboard you throw :D
BTW the space in the back seems to be a cradle for the charger. Considering that the deck takes all the space in the case, seems to be highly probable to have an external area to put your charger in
The strap could be used to attach it on a the telescoping handle of a suitcase which is pretty useful.
Make very sense
You could use it for that, but I think the intention is to put the charger in the indent in the back, with the strap holding it in place.

i mean. i think all apple device have great speakers.. okay maybe not apple watch.. but iphone and Macbook
Valve knows their stuff with audio. I have an Index, and the speakers on that thing are incredible. Hell, if Valve sold a gaming headset, I'd be the first one in line to buy it

It could be half life one. "They're waiting for you gordon. In the test chamberrr" is somewhat memorable because chamberr is said somewhat distinctly and its before the resonance cascade. But its probably portal

Glad you mentioned the capacitive sticks, the touchpads also not only click and track like trackpads, but you can assign and differentiate between a full click and a light touch, which I though was really cool, comes in handy for games with inventories or menus that benefit from quick accessibility, like the ship screens in Elite Dangerous or the inventories of No Man's Sky.
Are you actually Sean Murray
@@washurbrik2848 Yep you got me lol Sean Murray is actually just a furry nerd. Well, half of that is true at least.
I think including the Switch in the size/weight comparison would have been REALLY helpful. Yes, I know it's not a 'competitor' to the Deck to the same extent that the other consoles are (although as you said in the LTT video, even their comparison as competitors is limited).
But as a handheld gaming device, the Switch is far more ubiquitous. The Switch is something that I (and many others) have a tangible, real understanding of its size and weight; hence comparing it would be far more useful in helping us visualise the size/weight of the Deck. Rather than just comparing it to a bunch of things which most people have also never held/seen IRL.
There's a sub-category of portability that the Switch finally tapped into. All of the previous consoles like the PSP/Vita and xDS were designed for leaving your house. They were truly miniature and could all easily fit into a pocket. When the Switch came along, it felt big and clunky at first but it appealed to people who just wanted the ease of an instant-on gaming device that they could carry from room to room. And, if they felt like it, they could also stuff it into a backpack and take it on a trip.
@@frankpayne6902
Hopefully with a case and not just the Switch...

Oh for sure. Those joysticks and screen needs that extra protection. But it is handy once you own a case. Not much weight would be applied to the carry bag too.

@KeepyKen Why is the Switch "not a competitior" to the Steam Deck? Because it sold better?😂
It really shows what Valve learned from the Index, if they ever come out with a Index 2 or something along those lines, I’m confident it’ll be awesome.
The next VR headset for me must have massively improved comfort and resolution.
@@gamingSlasher Pimax!
Based on Rumours, they are workin on a Valve Index 2 or "Deckard", and it's possible that the Steamdeck is a "testbed" for portable hardware so they can verify things before shipping the Index 2 / Deckard as a hybrid portable or tethered VR headset for Steam VR, likely running it's own modded version of SteamOS 3.0 specifically designed for VR.
But again, it's mostly rumours and estimations from patents Valve has been filing
@@UNSCPILOT yeah I heard about that and have high hopes for Valve if they decide to stick in the VR market
@@UNSCPILOT Well, obviously they are working on Deckard but it's another thing entirely whether it will ever be a finalized product.
Why does Valve not just make audio products already? They clearly know what they're doing
I was thinking the same. They should start making gaming headsets and even gaming earbuds for portable devices, like their new Steam Deck. A gaming audio focus division or subsidiary of valve would make a lot of money and do a lot of good.
@@VoteOrDie99 valve doesn't have any subsidiaries 😅 it's like 300 employees. I think the joke is that they are a "small indie company" lol

Steam speakers
iirc they were looking into doing a stand alone headphones with the index earphones but I don't think that got very far.
@@VoteOrDie99 Problem is, it won't help if the games themselves don't let you tweak settings.
I just hope this isn’t a “one and done” thing and Valve releases a new model a few years in the future when technology has advanced enough to justify it.
yeah but not every year like with phones. that would be awful
@@Hugo_Prolovski I hope it’s somewhere between Nintendo handheld release cycles and maybe the lifetime of the PS2. 4-10 years would be a good difference time, imo. 4 years is still a little too soon, but the bare minimum of acceptable and may be the proper way to go since CPUs are evolving quickly recently.
Knowing Valve, they'll probably make Deck 2, and then forget about it while waiting for the "next big thing" like brain implants or something
Yeah that is the thing that worries me and the reason I'm waiting til next year to buy it
@@v3xman I could see them skipping a Deck 2 and instead going with a new VR headset with a custom AMD APU built-in. The Oculus Quest doesn’t really have any direct competitors, so I’d love to see them try their hand at a standalone headset that requires no PC to function, while also letting you play non-VR Steam games on a virtual big-screen TV.

Im excited to play modern games sometimes, but this just enabled me to play all of my classic PC games on the go. Im hoping I'm on the earlier side of the Q2 launch because I cannot wait!.

I'm not about to pay $1200 for this thing on eBay. I got the next tier down from this one, think I might see if there's a matte antiglare screen protector.
Oh there's for sure going to be screen protectors for it. I wouldn't even be surprised if dbrand made one. Or some other company that makes "paper-like" screen protectors.
Mine is q2 22 i ordered it in june 21 when is ur date?
I'm going to use a screen protector regardless of the model that I got so I figured why have a glossy screen protector over a matte screen and why have two layers of matte. So yeah, I also got the 256.
I think the protector will ruin image quality (slight blur). I tried this once with older tablet and it was a big tradeoff :/ . But there is no better experience than your own so... hope it works for you.

valve should start selling headphones with how incredible the index and now steam deck is.
every time i use my index i am lost for words with how good the mic and sound is.
I would love some off ear headphones for home use.
I already have some good headphones like the Sennheiser HD6XX but I'd definitely like a pair of Valve headphones.
They just need to drop a wireless headset with a pair of good off ear headphones and they'd have me sold immediately. The current market that basically only has over ear or in ear systems just sucks. It's even impossible to get decent on ear stuff, those things have vanished from the shelves completely. They'd literally have absolutely no competition.
I am absolutely glad this thing doesn't have a charging port on the bottom. This theoretical "reach issue" can easily be fixed, but not being able to rest the thing on your lap or against yourself as you play is far worse. It is for this reason that I cannot play a switch in handheld mode while it has to charge, because I'll probably break the charging cable by bending it at a sharp angle when I try to play it in a resting position.
Nintendo should have put it on the side of A Joycon or maybe have the plug attach at the bottom but special end that puts the cord to the back.
This thing looks like its worth waiting for! Cant wait to get my order.
the balance of the device affects a lot on how heavy it feels. a great example is the logitech pro wireless and ultralight pro wireless. there isn't much of a change of weight but it has been rebalanced which makes it feels many times lighter.
the steam deck is likely better balanced to spread the load better meaning you can use it for longer.

Realistically I find myself gaming for maybe a max of 2 hours. Maybe 4 if I’m really into a game. So if the minimum is more than 2 hours that’s great to me.
Yeah I’m okay with that. And just having to be plugged into any wall to play longer is great.
Makes me wonder if it's deliberate as I've heard were supposed to only look at a screen for 20 minutes in the hour to not damage eyesight.
5:29 - for someone known for dropping things often, that actually wasn't a bad catch! o_O

I guess jeotheo(?) scripts didn't worked here 😅
Valve has some of the smartest hardware engineers on earth
They have to be smart when building traps to stop people from stealing the valve.
I still can't imagine myself lugging that thing around with me, heck, i even thought the switch was too big, as usual, will buy this and play it at home, on the balcony while sipping a coffee and enjoying the sea breeze.
It'll be good for things like road trips or going on vacation

@@affieuk so worse battery life than a phone for phone-quality games?
1280x800 screen was the best decision Valve made. Cost, effectiveness on rdna2 graphics, and offers amazong potential for an ultra high quality screen for a reasonable price. Hope the colour accuracy and speed are as good as they should be. Maybe in a year they'll pull a Nintendo and make "OLED Steam Deck"
I wonder if they're hoping other companies start making steam decks, and then someone else can make one with an OLED screen
@@baddabaddabaddaswing Valve: hope springs eternal 😁
also battery
You can literally tell when unboxing it Linus is very excited to see this. Can't wait to get my hands on this thing!
That's actually a PlayStation layout, which I much prefer, having symmetrically laid out analog sticks on the inside of the d pad. Looks incredible.
Abxy
Feels better today
It's a mix. The shoulder buttons are Xbox and so are the ABXY buttons on the right. The joysticks are a mix of PS and Xbox since neither of them have both sticks up high. PS has the sticks equal to each other (but lower) while Xbox has its left thumbstick up high, which is why I called it a mix. Honestly pretty smart move by Valve I think everyone will feel at home with the layout.
It obviously has some Steam Controller influence as well for moving the mouse.
Half of the reason to get it.
@@Do_the_Scarn abxy isn't an xbox thing it's just the only way to avoid Sony's copyright, and the sticks aren't both high up relative to your hand position. They are a bit to the inside and lower than the face buttons and d pad. I'm not familiar with xbox shoulder buttons so can't comment about that.
To me this looks exactly like a dualshock 4 but with the central touch pad split up and put underneath.
V excites
There are several cool features to try or that would be cool to have
* For remote play, going to bed while your PC does the work could be much better than with a phone.
* It gave me Wii U vibes, you could have games using the Steam Deck's screen as a secondary screen (map, inventory, character stats, etc) while using the Steam Deck as a controller for a game running in your PC.
Lol, it reminds me of a game gear
Can’t wait to get a steam deck I’ve been wanting one since I heard about it
I hope one day valve brings back the steam controller, I ended up retiring mine due to the fact that I ran that thing right into the ground over 2 years of constant and I do mean constant use.
Unlikely. The reason they stopped producing them was because they were sued for patent infringement over the back paddles. They'll probably do a steam controller 2 though at some point.
There was a patten for a steam deck two about 7 months ago or so. At this point time will tell. Also, my condolence for your loss. I still have mine and as soon as I saw it was discontinued I immediately put extra on my care on mine to keep it alive for many years to come.
It is an impress piece of hardware for sure.
You should be able to get a new used one in great condition for about 30 bucks on ebay.
Still use my steam controller as my go to controller. Really hope they do a SC2. Wouldn't mind those 4 paddle buttons from the deck. Interested to compare the two whenever I get my hands on a steam deck.
You can actually see some of the steam controller in this its amazing

i'm literally using the Steam Controller right now to browse TH-cam, and now I suppose typing this comment lmao. Cant wait to try the haptic pads on the Deck :D
@@damiennagy7881 imagine later on if valve makes a steam controller V2
I love that Valve kept the headphone jack when the cell phone industry has been trying to remove it. (For the record, I want that jack!)
I thought they replaced it by using the charging port
@@redlove8861 correct but that isn't analog
Headphone jack being removed just a fad that (hopefully) will die soon. There's no basis for it, billions of headphones and studio equipment still use a aux input and it wont just fade out in a year or even 10 years. I'm still on a S9 and I see no reason to pay even more money for a new phone with even less features that the one I've got now. All for the sake of making a phone thinner, seriously? At what point is the phone too thin? My s9 already feels uncomfortably thin to hold without a case.
@@ErectileSceptile agreed on all counts
@@ErectileSceptile Nad you know the crazy thing? On the recent Samsung note video, people are actually accepting removal of headphone jacks and SD card slots and SOME ARE EVEN TELLING TO MOVE TO THE FUTURE! People are crazy.
the steam decks charging brick looks suspiciously like the one for my asus vivobook 17 laptop
I mean, OEMs do just rebrand stuff like chargers. No need to make a billion models of those at the core factory. Same charger goes to many brands
i mean it's USB C so OEM's just rebrand depending on the wattage of the charger
Keeps things simple to just use an off the shelf decent charger instead of trying to build something new from scratch and test their luck further
i assume the motherboard is from ASUS, reason: Linux Kernel 5.18 will have extensive Asus Motherboard support, suspiciously timely to the Steam Deck
@@alevilikvealeviler see? just sus. mine is a barrel jack one though instead of usb c but the brick itself looks similar+ the color of the lettering on it is the same . and the way the cable is mated to the brick is also similar
Linus trying to smash the steam deck was instinct because he knew the case would protect it if he dropped it
You could always partner up with some well loved indie companies and make themed accessories and cases for the SteamDeck, since there’s alot of gamers who love certain games but there’s not much in the way of merch ^^ i’m excited to play MTASandrock and SlimeRancher 2 on the SteamDeck. Also picontier. I have a hunch This would also be great for developers too!
Would honestly love themed steam decks.
They're fairly common in the console world, although valve has a history of minimal designs in dark shades.
Maybe if full shell swaps are easier on the steam deck 2.
Question: If you buy the Killswitch, how will you fit the SteamDeck in it's carrying case?
-Or does Dbrand include one along with the Killswitch?🤔
So dbrand hinted on twitter about a case. It looks like they will be releasing a bundle. The killswitch with a carrying case and probably a screen protector.

@@alessandrorossi1294 3.5 hours is pretty good
It made me think of what an updated Atari Lynx would look/ be like.
0:40 It says “In a test chamber”
Portal 3 Confirmed
That's also a half life reference
@@n0body704 Could you elaborate? I'm not really knowledgeable about HL.
@@Gramini of course, the protagonist of the half life series is a theoretical physicist named Gordon Freeman who is working at a secret research facility called Black Mesa. In the first half life game, you are being sent to a test chamber in order to conduct some sort of experiment which ends up going wrong and causes the whole facility to be invaded by aliens (or resonance cascade as its called In-Game). So basically, that could also be a reference to the test chamber where the resonance cascade occurred in the first half life game.
@@n0body704 Thanks for the explanation :)
Gonna play HL on my Deck, that's for sure.
Does that mean we get Portal 3 *and* HL 3? And that the 3s are cascading to other franchises, making TF3 and Left4Dead3 a thing as well? Wishful thinking :D
@@Gramini I'm hoping that they would at least bring a third game for one of their games. Half life 3 was pretty much already confirmed with the ending of half life alyx, who knows maybe portal 3 will become a thing very soon with other games releasing after that
Been waiting for this
I use back paddles on controllers all the time. Playing racing games, I want my index fingers on the triggers, and that means I can't access the bumpers, having rear paddles is such a good add.
At least with Xbox One and Series controllers the bumpers are shaped such that you can press them without moving your finger off of the trigger.
You know you can hold a controller with 4 fingers on all the top buttons right? It's actually the intentionally designed way to hold a controller. Might feel akward at first but it becomes very fluid and comfortable after a little while.
@@Aliothale Yeah I know you can do that, but I feel way more accurate for trigger control with my index fingers.
'on the toilet' reminds me of the old gameboy days hahaha
Always been a fan of the valve hardware aestheitcs since the Steam Controller. I'm like one of 6 people who swear by those things 😂
nah there's whole seven of us I'm sure!
They look combineish
@@theViomax Make that eight haha
Nine!
We're assembling in force now
Looking forward to getting mine. I reserved the big boy, and I'm in the July timeframe, which is good, because that's enough time for all the hardware and software issues to come to light, giving me time to decide if it's still worth buying or waiting for everything to be fixed.
Are you allowed to cancel preorders for the Steam Deck?
@@ollietaro when your turn comes up, you can either pay or skip, then it's onto the next person in line. I'm not sure if you get the initial deposit back however, if you decide to skip
when did you reserver yours?
Do you still like your steam deck ?
I have one of these on the way, allegedly 2 weeks delivery time. I'm so stoked.

I haven't been excited to buy gaming hardware for a couple years now. Haven't been able to buy any gaming hardware for a couple of years now if I wanted lol. Very pleased with the release system they've got set up.
FINALLY something that might feel ergonomic.. the switch gives me hand cramps. Also yay! A device that actually lets you drop the brightness to reasonable (dark room, dark plane) levels.
Can you actually compare the screen types and 'special case' vs normal?
UPGRADE SSD?
I'd assume the OS swapping (windows) and trying non-steam is planned for a future embargo
BTW this thing is more powerful than my decade old PC
Man, Valve has to be one of the best companies.
At least with the way they treat new projects. The way they treat old things they don't want to work on anymore (tf2) is terrible.
People at Valve are pretty much nerds, gamers, audiophiles, tech dudes etc.. it's people that really understands what their costumers want and have the money to deliver all of it.
Its clear they are passionate and while all of their ideas may not work out, it is often never because they didn’t try.
@@ThePowerOfScience Well they got like 4 things correct.. the link worked, it just became a app, the controller was good but not marketed so it became less profitable.. and then the vive headset they made obviously is perfect, its ironic but there like a company that kept failing and just figured out what clicked while everyone metaphorically said "you cant do it"
They are definitely up there with rockstar
I really liked how one of the places on the box said "In a test chamber," good job valve

@@alessandrorossi1294 Wow, look everyone! More fake news. You just don't stop, do you?
This is the only video where I replay it for the sponsors ad. 😃
Great video! It's awesome finally getting to see a hands on with a legit production unit.
I have one bit of feedback though. I wish you had included a switch for the size/ weight comparison. Since that has a much bigger install base it would have been a more useful comparison for the average person.
Personally, I have limited space in my bag, and anything bigger than a Switch is impractical for me to include in my daily carry (though it might still be workable for me on long trips/ vacation if it's a bit bigger)
I miss the steam controller. Yes the rumble was crap, busy the usability, there was nothing like it. It's saddening that no one took up the freedom to develop their own based on Valves schematics.
My fear is that it seams Valve does not have an interest in taking any of their products and develop them further, refining on what they produce.
I still hope for a Steam Controller 2 to come out one day.
You can see a lot of the design philosophy of the steam controller in the deck, and you can tell it's been refined and improved significantly. Hopefully we'll see a steam controller 2.0 with these improvements.
@@deadering I'm hoping :) although I see there being an end goal that we are not aware of. Each one of these hardware releases from Valve, is simply a proof of concept to a far grander plan. I just wonder, why not both? My expectoration is that there will not be a steam deck 2.0, even if it is just updating the hardware.
@@Flashfake I think the reason why Valve has not made a V2 of the Steam Controller is because they lost a patent lawsuit which contributed to the eventual discontinuation of the Steam Controller, though it was discontinued before the lawsuit.
It's a no brainer for people like myself who want to upgrade from iPad gaming but don't own a TV , computer or want a big desktop in their room. As a 50 year old that was impressed by the LED battery operated hand held gaming gadgets of the eighties . I feel like i have time travelled . It's on the same level as hoverboards.
This certainly looks dope, I wonder what a gen 2 would look like.
But not gen 3, right?=P

It's nice that it comes with a case for it. Wish other devices would as well. Like the Quest 2.
Yeah I learnt from a guitarist friend that when buying an instrument by a good case for it . I've transferred that from my instruments to all my other costly equipment.

Also, I wish that these companies would copy DJI's approach to thumbsticks: you can unscrew them and they have little holding slots. It's a game-changer.
I thought about that too, but I can't see how they'd feasibly do so in this form factor. The fact that they're replaceable at all is a big win already.
Also the joysticks have touch sensitive surfaces for the gyro control. Not sure how you'd make capacitive touch removable like that easily
