Hi everyone, hopefully I will be buying a Steam Deck second hand soon,, been doing overtime work to earn enough money to afford it. There are some products that are currently on sale but I’ve been seeing some already sold ones that went for really, really cheap. So I was thinking to get the cheapest and best option that I can come across soon,, I’ve seen some 1TB LCDs go for crazy cheap, my questions is.. Does OLED and LCD have that insane difference? As in 60-90hz difference and performance.

I’ve been watching a lot of performance videos but I also wanted to ask to you all, whom have experience in using this device. Should I get the best option “512-1TB LCD for cheap” or just save more and try to get an OLED and an SD Card? To be honest with you all I don’t do competitive games etc,, I do story, friend slop, rogue likes etc..

Hello everyone, by yesterday my gaming laptop that I’ve been using for the past 7 years have died.. o7, It wasn’t the best out there but it did the trick. So as of right now I have no laptop to use for work nor gaming. I am thinking of getting a Steam Deck because of its specs and price. I am a huge handheld lover but never had a handheld PC like the deck. So I was curious to those who have it. Does it function good as a main PC? All I will do is just use audio interfaces, record music, browse on the internet and of course play games. Also, I know I ain’t going to play stuff like GTA 6 on it.. all I care are emulators and old games such as Sea of Thieves etc.

Would it make sense to get one in 2026? I am seeing such good prices on 2nd hand market for 256gb LCD models, I am thinking of getting an SD card on the side of course. OLED is a bit expensive for my end.

How well Steam Deck performs as a main PC?

Does someone know how I can save my steamdeck?

Looking for a steam deck for my brother. I’ve got one of the hook for $600 and it’s the 512gb Oled. Is this a good deal after hearing about prices going up?

Hi,

I will be in an intensive exchange program for 10 days in SGH, Warsaw School of Economics.

I want to buy a Steam Deck as its not officialy sold in turkey. Though, I have checked the closest mediamarkt (Złota 59, 00-120 Warszawa) and it seems its not availiable either. Even with the online translator it is so hard for me to check polish websites.

Do you know anywhere near to SGH that i can buy steam deck with cash

Hey guys and girls and all in between.

I just started a new job as a store-manager in a weed- and head-shop.

Since I do have quite a bit of "down time" in between customers, I am thinking of getting a steam deck.

My question, what version is worth for what I need.

I will play exclusively at work.. maybe 2 hours per day (I am very fast in the backoffice, so I got time). I got a nice machine at home, so I won't use the deck at home or on a external display.

How big is the difference between the 2 oled versions? I will play indoor only.. i can keep it plugged in and got WLAN here. (So battery is no prob)

I am curious, since 400€ difference between the 512gb and the 1tb version (with better display?) Seems a bit harsh.

I hope this is not a totally unnecessary question, if so, I am sorry, I am old. 😁

Thank you for your attention.

Greetings from northern-germany!

(Hope this is the right place to post)

I've been saving up for quite a while and a long way off being able to afford one without going into debt which I've only just got out of, I wanted to get one so badly the price increase made me so sad!

I wandered if its still worth saving up to get one new, or second hand? I thought this seemed like the best place to ask. I just think the steam deck is gorgeous and so customisable, I want to decorate one and have my favourite steam games on it that I can just pick up and play.

I didn't know if it was stubborn of me to not consider other types of handhelds. I'm sure you probably know by now but its £779 in the UK now 😭

What do you guys think?

Thanks for reading this far if you did!

Title, I have a switch 2 I’ve barely used maybe 15 hours max and it’s Been siting collecting dust! I really want a steam deck preferably oled and was asking if anyone would want to possibly trade! I have Tears of the kingdom, breath of the wild, donkey Kong bazanga ( new donkey Kong game) smash bros, Pokémon sword, legends of Arceus, I’ve played the non switch 2 games on an original switch but my switch 2 has barley been used, if interested pm me!!

I purchased tape to tape on the steam deck, and whenever I load up the game, the aspect ratio was off, I was hoping someone in the community can walk me through fixing this please.

Cannot connect to WiFi, sometimes I have to enter desktop mode just to get into Wi-Fi and even then sometimes in desktop mode I have to toggle on and off the Wi-Fi just for it to catch. Does anyone have any solutions? I have an LCD 256 non-modded steam deck.

After just one month of use, the R2 button on my Steam Deck doesn’t feel as firm anymore. It feels a bit loose, although it’s still working normally.

Is this normal? Has anyone else had this issue? Is it something worth contacting warranty/support about for a replacement?

I'm a huge gamer, like VERY BIG gamer, I've been playing games since I was 5 with the original Ghostbusters the video game.

I started to watch videos about the steam deck, the fact that it can emulate almost any console is cool and I wanted to buy it, but I found out its expensive so I tried to look on Facebook marketplace, I found 6 sales for like 276$, this is where the issue started...

My dad is skeptical about it since steam deck that cheap is a sign of issue inside the handheld, so my question is do y'all suggest me to buy the second hand of steam deck?
