Also one of the biggest issues with the normal version was the touchscreen pulling rate. 180hz on the OLED feel SO good.

You can't transfer games from the deck, unfortunately.

At least not last time I tried.

According to the documentation, you should be able to https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/46BD-6BA8-B012-CE43. Unfortunately, I don't have big enough games to test, and I think it detects that my internet bandwith is higher than the connection to the Deck

Looks like it only works from desktop mode

A Steam Deck, or a PC running in Steam desktop mode can host network transfers. PCs in Big Picture mode, and custom launchers can't transfer their files out over the local network.

But is it "(A Steam Deck), or (a PC running in Steam desktop mode)" or is it "(A Steam Deck, or a PC) (running in Steam desktop mode)"? In any case both cases include the Steam Deck as a capable device, it would only be a matter of changing to desktop mode

Is it really? That's pretty shocking, is your gaming device is hardlined while the Deck is on WiFi or something? Are you on 2.4 or 5ghz, on the Deck?

My router is a bit old and its 5GHz performance seems to be rather lacking. I still think the main problem is I'm not testing with a big game. I'll try and post later something.

This seems to be implemented in the Steam Deck client update from November 16th

Haven’t tried it myself though.

Why I'm just doing a straight swap by throwing my current deck SSD into the new one XD

It works, but deck needs to be on. I just pulled a Grim Dawn install from my deck to my desktop PC on Tuesday.
