Screen sleep/turn off in game mode. Would like it to turn off when I set it down or when downloading games in game mode.

Touch pads/touch screen improvements makes the device feel much more modern.

Cooling/fan noise is way improved. It is quiet and does not get hot like the LCD model. I leave the updated fan curve setting off to keep things as cool as possible.

Wifi is greatly improved, went from 30-40 Mbps download in steam to 100 Mbps on the OLED. No other wifi changes in my environment.

Faster charging/battery life. Literally no battery anxiety. Went from 2-3 hours to 4-5 hours running my primary game at 30 fps.

Analog sticks primarily but all the buttons just feel nicer and higher quality.

Emudeck has been amazing, so much easier then the android setup I had before. Highly recommend, a little harder on the customization but the out of box setting are solid.

Got my hands on the OG 64gb about a year ago when they started shipping a lot. Upgraded the SSD to a 256gb I was able to get for free.

It’s been a great machine with many hours of enjoyment. First model was essentially a proof of concept and it was a huge success even bringing mainstream competition. I love what Valve is doing with this device and will continue to support it.

I was going to sell the OG deck but the market is flooded right now so I will probably just keep it as a spare and let family/friends borrow it to experience it for themselves.

$1000 for both devices might seem like a lot but that does not even scratch the surface of gaming laptops. I have had a much better experience with the deck then I ever did with gaming laptops I’ve owned.

Could always find a killer deal on second hand LCD decks too since the prices will drop on those.

OLED deck if you can. The second hand market is going to be saturated with LCD switches and prices will tank on them kind of like what happend with the switch OLED launch and the LCD switch.

Careful pulling it out without consent
