I was concerned about the weight when I got mine as I am used to Nintendo handhelds. After playing with my Steam deck for over a year now I don't notice the weight anymore. I actually feel like I'm going to break my Switch when I play it now.
The last handheld I had was a n3ds xl, too, and that felt a little heavy then too.
I think you might just have weak arms then.
Most likely the case
Oh well take it out of the case then
I read somewhere, maybe reddit, maybe here, someone used an articulated tripod for tablet to support their deck for them. It could be a solution for you, at home.
We have something like those in the house I think. Those ones that clip to a table and is a bendable arm.
