And for anyone comparing the options… go upthread and read how many people are saying this is _the_ killer feature of the Steam Deck. Because it is.

I’d been kind of on the fence how I felt about the ROG, but that makes it a solid “no” for me.

Stuck buttons were apparently a review model issue; The Verge reported on it originally and a month later, ASUS shipped a much-improved unit. (Hardware and software)

Both consoles get about as hot, but yeah, no good Sleep option in Windows is a shame.

The problem specific to the Ally right now is that it seems to get too hot where the SD card reader is, causing SD cards to fry for some users: https://www.dexerto.com/tech/asus-rog-ally-has-a-bizarre-ove... . I'm sure this will be fixed in a future hardware revision, but for now it seems worth waiting on the Ally for them to hammer out the first-generation kinks.

Still, I'm happy that the Ally exists, both as competition for Valve and to help prove that this PC form factor has legs.

Exactly, competition is good!
