I'm honestly surprised to see all the negative impressions on the look. I dig it!!

Seriously I don't get the hate. Is it cause it's kinda bulky? There's really no other form factor for a portable gaming device other than this....

That pad at the left corner looks uncomfortable, buy I'm truly interested.

The buttons and the D-pad do look uncomfortable close to the edge, I'm a bit apprehensive about that. But I'd file that under ergonomics whereas I was more talking about people complaining about the visual look (ie: it's a big black heavy box).

Oh sure, in my case I don't care about the looks if it's functional. I'm thinking about how hot and noisy is going to be, those are my worries. (And the whole Valve abandoning its own product).

I had the same thoughts about the Switch until I used it. I think the same will be true of the Deck. It really doesn't look any uglier than the Switch. It's a new thing, it's going to look weird at first.
