Missing the track pads, total garbage.
I agree. The article claims this mockup has better “trackpads”, but I think they’re just referring to the thumbsticks.
Nah, I think the article and the image are both AI generated, so the “author” of the article really has no idea what the image actually looks like.
The article could be, but the images definitely aren’t.
I only ever use them in desktop mode but I know if they disappeared I’d be mad about it
And typing.
This reminds me of the XBOX 720 memes from back in the day where the console was a sphere or some shit
IT’S SPHERICAL
Funny to see that it’s turned out be a simple geometrical shape after all but just a little… edgier.
Please don’t feed bullshit designs like this oxygen. It’s bad enough seeing all the “PS5 Pro” and “Switch 2” articles.
Switch 2 was officially announced though.
No, it wasn’t.

“Nintendo has not formally announced its next console, and has effectively ruled out releasing one anytime prior to April 1, 2024. The company said earlier this year that it wants to bolster Switch sales with new games and add-on content.”
I guess official wasn’t the right choice of words, but there’s enough info and dev kits going out means it’s not speculation anymore.
It’s all a lot of “my uncle works at Nintendo and…” Even the stuff about dev kits going out is all sillyness and nonsense.
No trackpads = no thanks
Also why does the screen jut out like that?
How comes Valve is the only one to get inputs right? Not even fan renders get it right.
Nobody else is thinking of it as “PC gaming on a console”
They’re thinking in terms of “A console which is a PC”
In other words, their heads are in console mode rather than in PC gaming mode. They aren’t thinking of an effective mouse option to play paradox games and the like.

To buy the DLC?
Exactly. Purchasing Sunset Invasion requires high precision.
Why is it upside down?
That pad and buttons look painful.
This has got to be rage bait
My wrists are sore just looking at that shape.
Ragebait
Sweet mercy that’s ugly
holy shit this thing is ugly
I am almost positive the Steam Deck 2 will be the same design with upgraded hardware, maybe additional USB port or something.
Valve put a lot of RND into the Decks design and ergonomics. I think it would be a waste of money to change it. Money i would rather them use towards an OLED screen or something.
I hope they find a way to make it almost as thin as a PSP or a Switch, and powerful enough to play games at 1080p. Maybe then I’ll consider one.
I forgot these existed! I always wanted one…
I had one. Those controllers were incredibly cheap and plasticky.
Not only the controller. I always had to put something heavy on the toploader or the CDs wouldn’t load properly.
This design is dumber than that one rounded boomerang ps3 prototype controller
Shit looks hella uncomfortable to hold
It looks like it was designed by an AI, just like how the article was written
Is it the 1st of April already?
Cool! It even has an unintentionally belly-operated off-button!
(Sorry, but this design looks like a UX nightmare. The Sticks feel barely reachable, the buttons on the bottom will be touched unintentionally, the shoulder pads aren’t clearly separated, the ABXY buttons are way too small, the speaker seems to be mono,… The list of shortcomings could go on forever…)
2000’s leappad edutainment handheld vibes
I knew it reminded me something, you’re exactly right. Recolor it in leappad colors and it would fit right in.
