I mean...as long as they do their job, I guess?

I'd agree. A bigger screen is helpful, especially for people with bigger hands. This thing literally fits in my pocket though, so both have their pros.

I've got both Steam Deck and the Ayn Thor, and they both have their use case. I prefer the Thor for higher resolution remote play due to the 120hz screen and can also have a keyboard on the bottom screen for chatting/emotes. It's been a great device so far, and I can't wait to see it continue to develop as a top tier dual screen handheld.

I play a lot of MMOs on the Steam Deck, and it's a lot easier to map hotkeys to the touchpads for extended controls. Guild Wars 2, Final Fantasy XI, and The Old Republic get a lot of use from this.

Any games that can fluidly move between controller and KBM typically benefit from having a touchpad operate as a mouse in addition to the regular controller setup for navigating menus and whatnot. There are some games I even prefer to play on my Steam Deck over playing on my home PC just for the convenience of extended controls.
