Same, sadly there probably wont be a steamdeck 2 for a while considering valve is working on the deckard, I REALLY hope they announce it sooner rather than later though. I gave my steamdeck to my girlfriend and I'm waiting next gen.

I don’t think a deck 2 is the goal. I think it’s Steam OS. Third parties will be building better hardware and just throwing Steam OS on it. Your Deck 2 will be made by whoever built the hardware configuration you prefer.

Deckard is probably a means to ensure Steam OS is VR capable as well, which would also liberate PCVR from windows and meta as well.

You're probably right, but I hope not. Those third parties keep focusing on chips poorly optimized for a handheld and ditching touchpads.

Well, you're probably right, but they could also work on two things at a time, it's not like Valve is a single person...

This is great news but I'm curious what it's going to take for your underwear to fly off
