Real handy when travelling or as I. Our case, as entertainment on our fishing trips. Early on I played a lot at home as well. Good piece of kit, and I haven't even tapped into emulation yet. I installed a 1Tb SSD to replace the 64gb one I got. I am contemplating selling it though, not because I am unhappy with it, but I am starting flight school in October and aiming to get my PPL, so looking towards freeing up some money for that.

Is it easy to install a hard drive? Would that be a cheaper way of doing it? I think I definitely want one (for Hogwarts and other games) to save me being sat at my laptop. Flight school, awesome!

However, I experienced some issues with the screws Valve used. They are extremely sensitive, and I think I striped one of them, and it took some effort to get it out despite using proper screw drivers of the right size. Once that was done it was very easy, if a little fiddly. But well worth doing. Get the 64Gb and then buy a new SSD separately and install. Saves you some money. You and I have been on here for ages, you want me to give you a shout if I decide to sell? Yeah, I am hyped beyond all reason to get started.

My son just turned 18 and is looking forward to flying with me some day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Has anyone seen the steam deck OLED? MAN it looks so **** good. I might have to sell my switch and get one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobsons Choice Posted November 24, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted November 24, 2023 If anyone has one, could I just ask, how does it deal with mouse input? I tend to use my console for action-y type games, and my PC with Steam for strategy type games, requiring a mouse. Is it only good for joypad games?

Especially with the ease we can get cheap Steam games too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very easy when it comes to steam (I suggest Hunble Bundle, Humble Choice and Fanaticals Bundles to increase the games you have in your library), when it comes to outside games it is still fairly easy but takes a bit of work and downloading from the desktop version on the device. But if you just want to install from steam library, easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
