Well, shockingly I had to trade my Steam Deck in, I worked out it was giving my right thumb RSI! I had pains in my thumb for ages and I just through it was from using my iPhone 14 Pro Max. But I stopped playing my Deck for a while and the pain subsided, but I then noticed when I went back to it the pain came back?! So I stopped using it again to see what would happen and the pain went away…
So I happened to see a Claw 8 in my nearest CEX store, I was kinda interested in it before but wanted to hold one before I bought it. Curry’s is the only place in the UK that sells them and they NEVER have any stock. So I traded my Deck in and upgraded in a sense.
I bloody HATE Windows lol but it is a very powerful device, and my thumb hasn’t had the pain return as bad, it has felt a little uncomfortable after playing but nothing like what I was getting. And all is forgiven off my iPhone.
I do miss Steam OS but am enjoying using my Game Pass sub and games. So I am now a PS5 and Claw 8 gamer.
I did also buy the Switch 2, and returned it the next day as it wasn’t even comparable to the Claw, plus I can’t stomach paying Nintendos game prices.
