As someone who is in a similar situation as you: I’m happy with it as my ps5/pc hybrid. I also use it as a little mobile Xbox and it’s awesome!

Yes, via control settings in the menu. I’d suggest remapping them to the back buttons to enter the cheats.

Kinda? When I played Marvels Spiderman(LOVE the game), I didn’t really feel like there was much of a difference between the Xbox and ps5 controller. It was so small switching between the two it really surprised me. I bought the ps5 controller thinking it was going to be noticeable but it wasn’t, and I switched between them within like 3-4 minutes of each other.

I have both an Xbox controller and a ps5 controller for my Steamdeck, and I’m almost disappointed at how similar the experience is. I’d say go with whichever you’re most comfortable with, though if neither ps5 or Xbox is your groove, the 8bitdo ultimate seems like the perfect controller.

The controller settings are amazing. You can download community settings for any game, and I would strongly suggest getting games you can’t on Xbox.

The Steamdeck would be good for anything except AAA games, so get the ps5 or a big pc and hook it up to your tv.

Strongly suggest final Fantasy 7 reboot, spiderman remastered, DMC5!

Try talking to support. That sounds like a bigger issue than we can solve :/.

I put the dock on for a couple games(Spiderman remastered), but largely handheld. It’s not that it can’t do it, but I feel it’s at its absolute best as the 800p system that could.

…I’d be cautious trying to use it as a pc. It’s a gaming device first, and everything else is secondary.

They had a WB bundle…dm me, I think I have an extra code

Cyberpunk seems the easy win here… god of war has angry old guy, Hogwarts is amazing but not perfect, but Cyberpunk is on another level. I played through it and absolutely loved the base game.

They have safe workarounds nowadays to advoid burn in. I’d be floored if valve didn’t account for this, and would’ve imagined a lot of tech sites like digital foundry would’ve cut deep into them.

Coral Island, kingdoms and castles, Monster Rancher(for a classic ps1 Pokémon like), poker night at the inventory, sackboy a big adventure and death stranding.

Everything there for the most part is playable for a LONG time and relaxes me. Death stranding is a smidge stressful at times, but the rest are pretty laid back and sorta niche.

check Www.CheapShark.com. For me, I’m loving Yooka Laylee and the impossible layer: far better than their original game and has a great donkey Kong platformer feel to it.
