Not to be confused with the latest Elgato Stream Deck that was announced on the same day as the Steam Deck. 🙂
That one does look like fun, lol
  
Probably no winner when it comes to teraflops though 🤣
 
I wouldn't mind getting a Stream Deck. There's mobile app alternatives (use your phone/tablet as a controller for a PC), but I want physical buttons. Sometimes you need to press a button (pause, mute, etc) without looking at it, you can't rest your finger on a touch screen button.
Or I could make my own, but display buttons aren't cheap. The Stream Deck gets away with it because it's buttons don't actually have screens. It's a single large LCD panel under all buttons and membrane contacts around the edge of each button. I'd prefer a real OLED/LCD mini panel so the buttons are really clicky (like the buttons on my Virpil throttle, they feel great!). I can get a tiny OLED panel for under $2. Clicky buttons cost cents. But combine both and they cost $50-150 each.
iDisplay sells panels with 24 buttons with a display, but I don't know if it's a single panel design. Also they have a minimum order of 100.
I need to make my own controller anyway, I need a new volume system since my Wooting keyboard doesn't have a volume roller.
Anyway... Steam Deck.
Scalpers are already active.
