I've had both and I don't remember any issues with the OLED pad so it's probably better (it's been too long to recall really), but the LCD's is a bit sharp/rigid, it's accurate but not very comfortable. Not really an issue outside of intensive games though, it's good enough.
You could consider the Legion Go
Legion Go is a bit more pricy but I want one. Looking at the specs it has thunderbolt 3 and I'm pretty confident it will support eGPUs. If I'm right we could see a performance dock you could plop it into to get a Rx 7900 or something and have a super strong gaming desktop, which you can undock for gaming everywhere
Yeah, that's why it's weird that American & now Japanese companies have issues making good DPADs, but Chinese companies seem to have look at the Vita/SNES DPADs and have made good iterations of them. The Miyoo Mini + has a good GBA/SNES DPAD clone and ayn Odin/Odin2 & Retroid Pocket 3/3+ have definitely took inspiration on the Vita DPAD and iterated on that design to make it feel precise & tight but not too tight at the same time. Fuck the GPD Win for the last year have been outright just stealing the Vita design and it's equally as good with the DPAD.
If you don't mind potential compatibility issues and the fact it's clearly pushing the limits of what the Deck's APU can handle, it can work *fine* as long as your expectations are entirely reasonable. But if you really gonna invest yourself in the Switch's library, and not solely a few first-party titles, actually go get a Switch instead.
I made a point of treating my deck as a dumb gaming console and at no point so far was I compelled to do Linux things to troubleshoot. You might need to reboot it occasionally, but that goes for all electronics let alone actual computers.
to run something it has no business running. But sticking to default settings and games with the shiny green checkmark are not it.
The most I've ever had to fuck around with was trying to troubleshoot why the hell Armored Core 4 wouldn't launch on RPCS3 on the Deck and even then I gave up on it. Everything else has worked just fine.I made a point of treating my deck as a dumb gaming console and at no point so far was I compelled to do Linux things to troubleshoot.

You can, of course, do Linux things and twist the system into a pretzel
Is it pushing the APU or is it the limits of the emulator itself? In my recent attempts to try games the biggest hurdle I've run into is games not being well supported by Yuzu. Luigi's Mansion 3 is one of the first batch of games released on switch when the console launched and Yuzu still to this day does not play the game well.
Does Ryujinx work on the Deck? Because from what I've seen, if one Switch emulator shits the bed, the other ones usually makes up for it.
Yes, but you have to enable it if you are using Emudeck since it defaults to Yuzu.
It's heavier than it looks, but holding it with both hands the weight is very nicely balanced and it doesn't feel as heavy, but with a single hand you can feel it, the ergonomics and grip design really help and it doesn't feel straining to use it for long periods of time despite the weight.
People play their handhelds sideways? I've always held them up. Wouldn't it just weigh down on you sitting like that?
Partly what I'm worried about.
