You could try working a little deoxyit or contact cleaner into the switch. Considering that it didn't have a period of being flaky before it died, I am not optimistic that this will help.

Isn't it great that the most important button is soldered on the backside of the mainboard, and is also fragile af?

My main recommendation is "don't put all of your money into a bunch of PS5 AAA games". PS5-ish games fit "if we turn all of the settings down, and render in 1/4 rez, and then AI upscale, and still your battery only lasts an hour". It often isn't a great experience here.

A strength of the Deck is in delivering an endless back catalog of PS4 and prior styles of games. Another is in bringing forward a ton of indie games that can't win at "marketing", can't afford to develop PS5-level visuals, so they fight like hell on "mixing up new and interesting gameplay" and "price".

The Deck's reader does the full 80MB/s UHS-I well enough. It works well electrically, but the ejector sucks. I've picked up my system, and had the card randomly hang out like 😛. It is vital to tape over the card to keep it from wandering off on its own.

With the way that memory prices are going, Valve is going to bring back the 64GB model.

My left stick started jittering after a year. Switched the sticks out with Gulikit, and they were fine for a few years, then the right stick went bonkers psycho.

Replaced it with a̶n̶o̶t̶h̶e̶r̶-b̶r̶a̶n̶d̶ Gulikit again, cuz that was the only make available. Sigh.

When you're playing HDR, any movie can be a Smurf Movie.

Some people don't want the same beige tower as you.

I don't think the rest of Linux is ready for HDR.

And judging by my mum's LG OLED tv, nobody else is ready for HDR either.

Öoo was a nice quick play. Logic Bombs is a brutal puzzler with a fantastic Gameboy rom included.

Hey, speaking of "early lcd models", how is your power button holding up? Mine is getting flaky. Have to press it a couple of times, maybe tilt it a little, to get it to work.

Go to bluetooth settings, and tap on each of your paired devices. There is a (probably brand new) setting to Allow this device to wake the deck.
