Crazy how much the queue has got bumped. What model did you go for? I'm guessing it was a less popular model (256gb myself)

Last drop was a bit poor UK 64GB queue.
Went 30% Monday but like 5% today lol
Perhaps a glut of orders after reviews went live.
Hopefully I'll get my E-mail Monday I'm 88% on the queue.

My 512 arrvied today. Think I ordered it last August.
Lovely bit of kit. Have just sold a PS5 that I completely ignored for the 2 months I had it so hopefully will use this a bit more.

Didn't realise there was another thread here, preordered the 256gb version on 9th Dec and got the order email last night. I was in Q4 so wasn't expecting it for another couple of months.

Interesting article on installing games on NAS. Might be useful for playing at home.

You can play Steam Deck games on NAS storage
If you're looking to give your Steam Deck storage a boost to store even more games, then creating a library on network-attached storage could do the trick

I ended up passing on my steam deck when i got the email, was a nice idea but i wont use it tbh. More of a gimmick for me and since im not really a "early adoptor" anymore since i was so far behind the que its not like its nice shiny new day1 tech, so Meh.
Got mine yesterday, well impressed. Nice layout and screen and pretty easy to use interface. Sometimes a bit of faff needed for some games, but mostly that comes from desktop mode and using the virtual keyboard. Took advice from this thread and got heroic installed, rocket league works flawlessly. My kids are jealous!

Anyone got tips for button mapping?
Decided to download Dead Space 3 for the Deck. Runs fine but mapping the buttons is proving very tricky.
Or maybe some first game recommendations, tricks etc.

Interesting read in a little book they made for the East Asian region. They are making a general installer for SteamOS that it will run on all desktop PCs. And they also boldly claim that some games run better on SteamOS + Proton than they do on Windows.
That will be pretty cool if it comes already set up with things like RTSS and the in-built frame limiter.

That has already been the case for Elden Ring due to precompiled shaders on SteamOS
Still on the upside, you got 4 quid back.
If you've had the shipped email from valve there's a link to the GLS website that shows progress.

512GB and up seems to be the sweet spot, as long as it can do 90MB/s writes ideally and 90MB/s+ reads it should be fine.
Thanx 512gb is currently £49.99 seems a good price
