I've had my deck for 2 years now and it's been my main gaming device since the day I got it. I take it on trips and use my 3rd party dock and controller to hook it up to whichever TV is at my location.

My only regret is that this way I'm limited to controller-only games, and I really want to play some of the keyboard + mouse games in my library.

Whichever kb + mouse I buy needs to be as portable and lightweight as possible, but still functional with near full-size keycaps (chiclet keys are ok).

I have a folding Bluetooth keyboard, but the build quality is absolute trash.

Any recommendations will be gratefully added to my research list!

Hear me out, you don't want portable, you want transportable. I made this. It's a lap tray with cushion underneath and a handle, and everything attaches to it.

Looks very neat! Not sure I could fit it in my backpack though ๐Ÿค”

Ahhh yea. If I were to do this with a backpack I'd probably make something folding. Having the tray is super nice for couch visits.
