I’m getting a 64gb steam deck probably next month. It will be used as a portable console and a desktop PC for work (desktop reliant websites). The most heavy game I’ll play is Stray (no 1st person shooters, MMOs or huge open worlds) with an hour or two of play time a day.
I plan to get a 3rd party dock, a screen protector and a case. I will wait until around black friday for those.
Is it necessary to get a ssd? Or will the 128gb micro SD card I have will be okay for one downloaded game at a time?
Main issue is the heat. Will a case make the SD hotter? Will having a JSAUX backplate or a fan matter to keep the console cooler during playing? From what I’ve read, people say the backplates will still get heated after so many minutes of playing. The fans seems to put vaccume pressure on the actual fan and will cause it to stop working in the near future. I want to prioritize coolness before getting everything else.
2 hands. My friend has 1 hand and highly recommends 2.
If you use your dick as a third one you can do basic inputs on the touchscreen. More targeted input when you’re hard. Highly recommend.
