If iFixit starts selling steamdeck motherboards, can you buy just a motherboard and make a console-only version? Same motherboard, just no screen, battery, buttons.

And a SSD I guess.

Alternative question: Do you want steam to offer a console only version? Same motherboard, just no screen or battery.

I would fight a baby penguin for a Steam Controller v2; it was (and still is - I have 2) the best controller I have ever used.

honestly the steam controller's killer feature for me isn't even the touchpads -- it's the multiple-profile support. "oh, you want to connect to your PC for a bit, then reconnect to your console later? sure, just hold select during startup, I'll remember your last 2 bluetooth connections."

Wait... It can do that? Holy fucking shit. I had no idea...

yep! remembers up to two bluetooth connections and two usb dongles. turn it on while holding:

  • A to boot in usb mode
  • B to boot in bluetooth mode
  • X to connect a new dongle
  • Y to connect a new bluetooth profile
  • Start to use the previous dongle
  • Select to use the previous bluetooth profile

Awesome, thanks for the info - will try it out soon. This'll make streaming to my Steam Link much easier
