    So there’s a black handheld with a “steam” button on the left and a “. . .” button on the right, as well as a white version that doesn’t have the steam specific buttons (so probably a windows version).

    Interesting idea to sell both, and it will help them gauge whether there’s a demand for Steam powered versions. I wonder if Valve will promote it at all, getting free steam advertising would be an easy way to convince manufacturers to offer SteamOS versions of their handhelds.

    Unfortunate that it doesn’t have trackpads though, the Lenovo Go was one of the only other handhelds to have a trackpad, and I hoped they would keep it.

      I hadn’t heard of the Lenovo go and it actually looks decent. It can be used as a real mouse with detachable “joycons”. I’m not going to buy one because I’m plenty happy with my Steam deck and don’t want the default to be windows, but otherwise looks like a good option

      Best of both worlds

      Looks like there is larger model also, but with no steam button…

    I really hope it has a Trackpad. The trackpad has made the Steam Deck so useful and multi faceted
