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

Mine is on the way.. I'm just wondering if I'll ever use it. I was thinking it's perfect for platformers and puzzle games

It's good for many more things than that. Give it a good chance!

Yeah it's just that I have a nice PC setup, and on the couch I play PC games on the big screen. The only real use case is when I go to bed

I find certain consoles "feel" more right for certain games. I'm not much of a 2D puzzler, I thought. Turns out I just don't like them on PC, even with my Steam Controller. Having the same game on a smaller screen with some portability and pick-up and playness makes games I wasn't as interested in more enticing.

If you have a library of "meh" games, try giving them a go on Deck. I was personally pretty surprised

Yeah I'm thinking maybe games like factorio, hollow knight, monster train, etc that I always wanted to play but I never want to play on PC will click
