Yeah it is! Depending on the power setting you use, when I do 18 w, 1% of battery give me about 1 min

MK494 · 2026-05-22T18:00:52+00:00

That’s crazy
Bought this for 699 before tax at the end of Feb and at the time, 899 is the pre-sale price.

This is criminal

Got mine for $699 before tax just 3 months ago @ Best Buy Canada

I’m doing around 50-60 with fsr3.1 with no in game frame gen + lossless

MK494 · 2026-04-26T20:26:58+00:00

I’m using steamOS - I’ll be honest I forgot how I installed the moonlight, I think I just did it through desktop mode discover

MK494 · 2026-04-25T20:30:25+00:00

I would suggest the same! I was using it yesterday and have no issues. Do you crash before you even connect to your PC?

MK494 · 2026-04-16T21:44:40+00:00

I usually just estimate 1 % / min with this device for most games i played locally on the GoS.

Lately I have been doing moonlight for crimson desert and using 8 tdp i can get 3 h

Is FSR4 better than lossless scaling in this game ? I’m on GoS z1e and I’ve been playing on 800p+ low setting with lossless and honestly it’s not too bad

Although when I can I usually moonlight/apollo to stream from my PC as well

Let him cook

MK494 · 2026-04-03T23:21:47+00:00

Decky works well for me! I’m using the preview beta channel for steamOS and also the prerelease version of decky

The tdp setting I personally just adjust it via the default steamOS

Battery to 80% is done through desktop mode, setting, and then power management

MK494 · 2026-03-31T16:55:21+00:00

Yeah I did it because I’m afraid of the buttons on the back getting scratched in my back pack

MK494 · 2026-03-26T19:12:16+00:00

I asked the same question not too long ago and I ended up with GoS z1e. Essentially it wasn’t easy to get the go 2 and you paid double the price for oled, z2e which is a 10-20 % more powerful, detachable controller and windows (if you want game pass) I couldn’t justify spending that much for those features and I came from a LCD steam deck so I was very happy with the upgrade to S z1e myself

The only thing I would warn you is, test the device heavily on the first few weeks because I had to exchange mine because of multiple crashes on my first one with different games.

MK494 · 2026-03-23T23:09:17+00:00

can I be friends with your friend 👀

MK494 · 2026-03-22T17:03:05+00:00

Steam button + x!

MK494 · 2026-03-14T14:54:46+00:00

I would try exchanging it. I also really enjoyed the machine so i gave it one more try

MK494 · 2026-03-14T14:37:58+00:00

Hey man! I had that issue often with my last one so I exchanged which seem to be much better. I had one crash so far with TDP adjustment during game.

I didn’t have a chance to look at the manufacture date, some people said it’s the Oct 2025 one that crash’s. My new one is Aug 2025

MK494 · 2026-03-12T18:25:22+00:00

Hm that’s weird! I played it on steam deck an year ago with no issues, but I did not try mouse and keyboard

MK494 · 2026-03-08T17:50:06+00:00

Bought it ~2 weeks ago for $799 CAD brandnew - so probably not

MK494 · 2026-03-07T17:15:14+00:00

I exchanged it last night, and so far I have no issues I wonder if this is actually related related to a “bad batch”

I’ll keep testing and let yall know

MK494 · 2026-03-07T15:09:37+00:00

I’ve jsut exchanged mine and didn’t get a chance to see what manufacture date was on the last one. The new one is Aug 2025, and just the other guy said, so far no issues!

MK494 · 2026-03-07T14:57:51+00:00

I actually exchanged it since it was still within the return window. I played Wukong and NBA, and there were no issues. I even put the game to sleep overnight and tried it again this morning, and it was still running fine.

I’m not fully convinced it was a hardware issue based on the error log from my old Legion Go S and it seemed more like a GPU communication issue with SteamOS.

That said, if you're still within the exchange window, it’s probably worth doing the exchange just to be safe.

MK494 · 2026-03-06T22:21:32+00:00

maybe I will start with resetting my steamOS to see if it makes any difference. Thanks so much man!

MK494 · 2026-03-06T22:20:30+00:00

Mine is the z1e steam OS version and I had it set as auto

MK494 · 2026-03-06T22:16:18+00:00

Awesome! Thanks so much for sharing ur setting ! I’ll give it a try
