Doesn’t have any new info for any existing deck owners, but it’s always nice to see positive coverage and opinions.

I own the LCD deck and goofed off with the OLED deck. The screen is perfect, just like I imagined. But the thing that caught me off guard was how much lighter it feels. They say it’s 30% or something lighter, but because of the way that you typically hold it, it feels half the weight. The joysticks also have a deep recess on the inside, which makes your thumbs slip a lot less.
Overall, I would say that if you currently have a Deck and play it every day, if you can sell your old one for a reasonable price, the cost is probably worth it. If you’re a casual gamer and you only play every so often, the upgrades on the new Deck are great to have but probably not worth the cost. As a new purchase, OLED without question.
Not 30%, it’s 30g or 5% lighter!
Thanks for posting that. That’s exactly where I’m at. I’ll suddenly play a ton on it for a week or two then not at all for a month. I’ll stick to the old one.
New one sounds great though. Good on Valve.
I think the OLED model is like 30 grams lighted, not 30% which is still quite an achievement, considering the bigger battery and display. That’s roughly 4.5% lighter. I think the LE is a little bit lighter ~50g, around 7.5%.
That is what I did, did my lcd for a good price and got the oled
To be fair the Oled variant is a bit expensive, but damn! This thing is too damn confy to play with. A true click and play experience.
