Has anyone come across a more compact case that has a few slots for micro SD cards? Currently I just have my spare Micro SD card kinda just loosely knocking around inside the case.

I just wish the case was better suited for the charger! It perfectly fits the US style plug but always falls out for me using the UK plug.

Maybe I got a different case but I can’t see any storage space for the charger. Where are you mean to keep it?

In the void at the back under the elastic strap

Anyone had issues with the virtual keyboard refusing to open with the shortcut? Worked fine for a few days but nothing I can do seems to open it. Tried desktop and game mode and still the same.

Rob_B · 29 Dec 2022 at 13:16

Only time I noticed that was in desktop mode if steam wasn't open in the background

Raymond Lin · 29 Dec 2022 at 14:13

Ordered the official dock, cost more but what the hell.

it's a pretty weird design decision imo . it's not really that secure in there , would rather it been in the case.

Well, giving more patience to the Deck.

Bought the official dock, 512mb sd card. About to pickup a ps5 controller today. Have it hooked up to the living room TV.

Witcher 3 looks fantastic on my TV with the deck. Totally unexpected. Assuming that is FSR doing its thing.

512GB Evo Selects back on the cheap, £38, be quick

Ffs lol, I bought two 256gb's the other day for £17.99 each, as the 512gb was normal priced and didn't think it would change soon haha. Still, no complaints, I don't mind hotswapping and it was a good price.

No problem here? Played about 2/3 hours without a crash in Windows.

Think I finally got the mods working for Fallout 4. Need a dock now for some TV gaming, might have to get the JSAUX over the Valve dock just to save some pennies so I can get an SD card too.

GlitterBalls · 30 Dec 2022 at 23:59

You won't be disappointed with the JSAUX. Great bit of kit.

Has anyone tried playing Dishonored from epic via Heroic?

My saves keep dissappearing after a shutdown, never had issues with any other games via Heroic.

Edit: fixed by changing the winecfg path to the correct one, unsure why it wasn't correct

edgedemon · 3 Jan 2023 at 12:05

I have been very restrained for the Steam sale

Batman Arkham Origins - £3.74
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition - £17.19
Black Mesa - £3.74
FAR: Changing Tides - £8.24
Red Dead Redemption 2 - £18.14
Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered - £37.49
Against the Storm - £14.39

I have maybe one more purchase as Im considering Halo Master Chief collection as I am one of the few people who have never played any Halo game ever - it it worth it? Are the games any good?
I also saw somewhere that it might be possible with a bit of fudging to get Elite Dangerous working on the deck, I sort of hope so, and sort of hope not as there are not enough hours in the day for that addiction if it is still as good as I remember when I used to play
