So I never got into console gaming for different reasons. Sadly that means, I miss some great steam games, that have horribly or simply not working PC controls because they are console ports. So Im thining about buying a steam deck now.

Is the steam deck easy to handle? How big is it, I have smaller hands?

I have very bad wifi in my house, using good old cable connection normally. I guess steam deck uses wifi for downloading and logging in. Can I play games then in offline mode or with no wifi connection? So I can start steam deck and download games near my router and then move away for playing?

Is there a big difference between the older Steam Deck and Newer OLED Steam Deck? The price is not the problem for me but I don’t want to be a beta tester and like to buy an established polished product with little chance for technical problems.

    that is such a weird post…

    steam deck is not a console. it is a PC. So if you already have a PC you could have just bought a gamepad to play the games with “horribly or simply not working PC controls” on your existing pc. Even though the steam deck has some additional input options, if whatever pc port you want to play does not work well with keyboard+mouse or a normal gamepad it will not work better on the steam deck.

      But doesnt it have the Analog sticks for camera movement which can be difficult with keyboard in some games?

      And like I said, having problems with controllers.
