I've said it before, just.. give me a Steam Deck without the screen, and I'll buy it. I need that layout, it's the perfect combination of features for me.

If I could be greedy, an extra set of back paddles and some extra "spare" buttons would be nice for flight/space sim games.

    So you'd plug in a monitor or TV to play?

    Either connect them to a docked Steam Deck by the TV, or my gaming PC, yeah. The Steam Deck is nice, but for an extended session it's quite a hefty device. Being able to have the same controls while laid back on the couch or reclined in a chair would be more comfortable I think.

    What would be the point of having the processor in the controller, then?

    You don't, it's just a controller, shaped like a Steam Deck but without the screen. With the touch pads and everything. It can be normal controller sized since you don't need the screens and giant battery, and most of the processing. Maybe save a little flash memory in it to save control schemes right to the controller would be nice.

    Well, they said they wanted the steam deck without the screen. So, that leaves the whole rest of the device, just without the ability to see anything.

    Don't be pedantic, if you're not an idiot you'd have known exactly what they meant.
