It’s a bit heavy for long sessions. If going for long sessions you need extra support. Otherwise it’s ergonomics are great and it’s easy to use without any support for like 1hr sessions

usually gunslinger, sometimes underhand.

Once when I lifted the carrying case by the handle and hadn’t zipped it. Another time too I think.

Nothing happened. It was in a soft rubber case though.

When I’m outside with my steam deck, my default state is that I’m expecting something to happen to it, so I’m always clutching it for dear life.

That being said, exceptional mistakes happen. Nobody comes here to post “I travelled to xyz and remembered to take my steam deck”
