I’ve been considering purchasing a steam deck. My pc is in my office, which limits interaction with the rest of the family if I want to play anything. I’ve tried playing mobile games, but just can’t get use to the controls. Think it’s worth getting one?

i love my steam deck. i havea similar same issue where i now work from home and dont want to spend any more time at my desk than i have to. The controls are fantastic, it also is the most comfortable grip ive ever experienced on any hand held or controller. The only down side is that it's not the greatest for strategy games like civ that really lend themselves to keyboard and mouse. shooters, action/adventure games, and rpgs. it runs emulators really well also.
