Got a laptop, use it for laptop shit. Got a Steamdeck, rarely need to do heavy typing on it, but when modding games I have to connect a keyboard and mouse to do so efficiently. Saw this solution and thought “hell yeah, great idea!”. Bringing an easy to store/portable keyboard around for occasional use is way better than bringing a laptop and controller around when all you want to do is some gaming.

It all goes down to personal preference.
Do you need a PC shaped like a PC, which needs extra stuff connected to become a gaming device.
…or a console-shaped PC, which needs extra stuff connected to become a regular PC?
FFS, just get a laptop and stop pretending 😂
Haters gonna hate.

I’m not hating, just seems silly to get a portable gaming system to use kb+m when a laptop could do so much more for similar size/weight/cost.
I guess it all seems arbitrary to someone who could barely afford a used PS4 😂😭

There is no wrong answer IMO
I could see the utility of this for certain games where you need to type, but only for a minute
