      True that.

      I just bought it recently and love it very much. Finally a handheld that gives me access to most of my gaming libraries while on the go.

      Also nice to see Linux getting a boost from this.

        Yeah, 100%. It only has one USB-C port, so you can only use one plugged in without a dock, but it has bluetooth, so you can use a keyboard and mouse that way, too.

          So a wireless Bluetooth keyboard+mouse setup would be the way to go for playing with the dock? This wouldn’t be a huge part of my gaming, but there are certain games I’d probably prefer it for, so I just wanted to know it’s possible.

          Any suggestions on a good controller for when it’s on the dock? I’m convinced I’ll be buying one with this sale.

            8bitdo makes some of the best controllers out there, or you can go with an Xbox controller, though they are much more expensive.

            As far as mouse and keyboard, yeah, if you need to play with them, that will be totally possible and comparable to a desktop set up. However, the track pads on the steamdeck may be more convenient for you.
