Plug in an external monitor? 1280x800 is the native res of the Steam Deck I believe, so you won’t be able to go above that without outputting it onto a monitor or TV.

Howdi everyone, a lot of pages in this thread. I have checked back a good few pages and a lot to digest as always.
I have mine on order and hopefully will get it soon.
Can anyone please give me some good tips on a starting point, what I need to install etc for the best experience?
I am looking to play emulator games, some old mame titles etc as well as my steam library. Do the F1 games work, anyone know?
Thanks in advance.

Don't quote me on Deck specifically. But I really don't think so as Windows can only read FAT and NTFS
Use EmuDeck for emulation.
Check ProtonDB for how everything runs on Linux, it is much more up to date than Steam Verified as it has been running for years. It also gives you tips on how to get some games working if they are not fully compatible out of the box. That website will be your best friend.
got my email yesterday for preparing to ship and it now says its on its way to the final parcel center! going to order a screen protector and case for it today i think, sd card for retro and foldable keyboard will come a bit later but are 100% on my list
cant wait

It comes with a case
i meant a silicone one, it only comes with a hard case is that right? do you think i need a silicone case?
Soldato
You should be fine with the hardcase.
ok thanks
It does not, and when I tried it the SD card I connected to pc would not work on the deck until I reformatted.

Any compact keyboard with touchpad that anyone can recommend?
Than you, much appreciated.
Logitech Wireless Touch Keyboard K400 should work fine but you will need an USB C to A connector for it.

I have one of those but was hoping to get a bluetooth one to keep the port free, been having a fiddle around this afternoon with emudeck think i'll probably end up using it more for this than anything tbh

Update on the Windows SD card install. Everything is working great apart from the speakers, sadly it blue screens when you attempt to install the drivers for it. Seems to be a bug with W11 22H2. Headphones on the other hand works completely fine so I can cope with that. Definitely loads a bit slower than SteamOS on the m.2 drive but at least I can play the games with the annoying anti-cheat stopping it from working on Linux.

Could boot windows 11 from a USB C drive as an alternative to the micro SD port?
