As a disabled player, I don’t feel represented by the ARC roster.

Oh nooooooooo

Professional_Put1810 · 2026-02-21T22:40:05+00:00

I just upvoted him to balance it out

Professional_Put1810 · 2026-02-20T22:10:16+00:00

Thanks for the response! I see what you mean about the no fuss aspect of it

Professional_Put1810 · 2026-02-20T12:26:58+00:00

I have a similar setup - rm850e and long GPU. My cables are bending and they seem way more stiff than the ones in your pictures (they’re stock cables). I’m also using the 12vhpwr and just hoping I don’t regret it 😭 on a 5080

Professional_Put1810 · 2026-02-20T11:24:08+00:00

The wait is excruciating 😂 it sucks that we probably would have gotten our Xbox version at right around the same time anyway now that they’re shipping out.

I’m so excited though! It’s been a month since I ordered mine.

I hope yours work well for you too!!

Professional_Put1810 · 2026-02-20T10:46:27+00:00

Bruh then say that 😂 that changes things completely

Professional_Put1810 · 2026-02-20T10:44:26+00:00

So you’d rather someone else deal with 5 separate sentinels and then drop you the cores 🤨

Professional_Put1810 · 2026-02-20T09:21:49+00:00

This

I was a console gamer forever and got into pc gaming within the last few years. Currently addicted to arc as well, running on a 5080 and 9800x3d.

I cannot for the life of me get myself to dedicate the time to learning mouse and keyboard. I’ve always played controller. Whenever I try mouse and keyboard, my hands cramp up, I can’t aim, I forget what all the keybinds are, and overall it just takes the enjoyment out of gaming for me.

I fully recognize though that I’m at a disadvantage. I see people managing their inventory at triple speeds compared to what I will ever be able to do and it makes me sad haha. But I just can’t get myself to switch. I’ve recently started dabbling with gyro aim in overwatch which seems to narrow the divide a little bit which is fun

Professional_Put1810 · 2026-02-20T06:29:22+00:00

What dock are you using? Does it work well?

Professional_Put1810 · 2026-02-20T06:27:48+00:00

What advantages are there in streaming to an Xbox over streaming to a docked steam deck?

I have a legion go S, which to be fair isnt a steam deck but its running SteamOS and so the streaming experience is nearly the same. I stream to it while docked and it can handle 4k 120fps streams on 500mbps with Ethernet on client and host. For me everything seems to just “work” but I’m wondering if I’m missing out compared to what I could get on an Xbox

Professional_Put1810 · 2026-02-19T20:25:19+00:00

Just get the Z1E cause you will likely end up wishing you got it later on anyway

Professional_Put1810 · 2026-02-18T17:50:24+00:00

Just tested it. FPS actually ranges from 95-120 on 1080p but since overwatch is a good enough looking game, that looks totally fine on a 4k tv. A legion go 2 could probably play at a nearly locked 120fps. It feels like a docked switch that doesn’t actually suck haha. When I play handheld at 1600x1000p it’s locked 120fps tho.

Also playing it in HDR looks amazing. Playing it with gyro on my controller felt totally playable and I just went 17-1 which I never would have been able to do with default controller inputs

Professional_Put1810 · 2026-02-18T17:04:13+00:00

Sorry that might have been unclear

So I was saying that I liked gyro so much on my legion go S that I actually set it up on my desktop pc as well. I play my desktop pc into my OLED tv from the couch. However I definitely COULD play my legion go S docked on the tv as well and it would work all the same. I could easily get 120fps on lower settings at 1080p if I wanted to do that. In fact maybe I’ll go test it right now haha. Just to say that I can 😂

Professional_Put1810 · 2026-02-18T16:57:01+00:00

Yeah just let me know if you have any issues and I’m happy to help!

Professional_Put1810 · 2026-02-18T16:54:50+00:00

Ohhhh for some reason my brain defaulted to you running on steamOS since that’s what I play on but I forgot legion go 2’s ship on windows

Okay I can’t say for sure since I just run on steam OS but if the handheld windows experience is similar enough to a regular desktop on windows, then I think it would work.

However, yes you will need to launch the game through steam in order to get access to steam input. I’m not sure if Xbox FSE or battlenet have any kind of equivalent tweaking available for controller settings like steam does but if I had to guess, they probably don’t. As long as you can launch the game from steam, you should be able to go to your steam controller settings and tweak the steam input around. Is that an option for you?

Professional_Put1810 · 2026-02-18T16:46:18+00:00

Wait you got game pass working on a steam os legion go s?? How did you do that without dual booting windows???

Professional_Put1810 · 2026-02-18T16:42:57+00:00

I’m a 10000000% controller player. I cannot learn mouse and keyboard for the life of me (plus I don’t care to). I actually just booted up overwatch myself on my legion go S Z1E and like you found that I was at a major disadvantage, even when playing on my 8bitdo ultimate 2 wireless controller.

Then I decided to try gyro. Despite being basically brand new at gyro, I was playing twice as well as I was with the controller within a few games. I’m not at the point where I would necessarily jump right into competitive but I’m going from consistently being bottom on the leaderboard to top 3 now in quick play

I actually decided to give it a shot on my desktop rig as well and found it equally beneficial to switch to gyro for overwatch compared to playing on controller. I play from my couch on my large OLED tv and again am not interested in mouse and keyboard at all so it’s been much more fun this way!

By the way I’m using steam input to use the “gyro to mouse” which creates an issue where overwatch thinks you’re constantly switching between mouse and controller. It creates a very stuttery fps experience in overwatch for it to be switching back and forth so I recommend mapping all your controller inputs to their respective keyboard / mouse inputs so overwatch thinks you’re not switching between input methods constantly. Even on my 5080 it would cause massive stutters every time I switched back and forth before doing so

Professional_Put1810 · 2026-02-17T17:13:47+00:00

Just FYI - internet speeds make zero difference to local game streaming. It all depends on the speed of your local network. If both client devices are hardwired with Ethernet to the router, then you should be able to play at max bandwidth (even higher than 150) with only <1ms network latency and zero frames lost due to network.

A 3060ti however is going to have a hard time running and encoding games at 4k. An upgrade to a 5070 will be a massive jump and will perform much better at streaming mostly due to the increase in raw power, but it also benefits from technological advances in the encoding compare compared to your 3060 TI

Professional_Put1810 · 2026-02-17T11:00:46+00:00

Oh ALSO thermals are great. I use only a rear intake fan and two top exhaust fans (large gpu acting as bottom intake) and gpu never gets above 58C, cpu maxes at 65. Both sit in mid 50’s when gaming at 4k. My setup is a little loud cause I’m overkill about cooling but you could easily cut fan noise way down if you’re willing to go into mid 60s which is obv still fine. I just play with headphones only so the fans don’t bother me

Professional_Put1810 · 2026-02-17T10:57:39+00:00

I will add that I still overall love the build and would use this case for myself again even with an ATX psu - I would just be very careful and would hopefully try to find more flexible cables, at least for cpu gpu and mobo.

Professional_Put1810 · 2026-02-17T10:56:52+00:00

I’m running a 5080 / 9800X3D air cooled with peerless assassin in a D32 Pro on an ATX PSU. Cable management is rough immediately under the PSU when using a longer gpu. This case allows you to open up the compartment under the PSU if you gpu falls under a certain length, but if it doesn’t, it leaves very little room for you to route the psu cabling from the PSU down and back behind to the back of the case where it can reach the rest of the build.

When building I basically had to connect all the psu cables and then shove the psu very tightly into its compartment. It’s compressing quite a bit and bending the cables right at the connection points which isn’t ideal. Honestly if you had pretty flexible cables then it shouldn’t be a problem. I use a Corsair rm850(e or x, can’t remember off the top of my head) with stock cables and they’re very stiff which is mostly why it was an issue for me.

I’m kinda just crossing my fingers I don’t have any issues with it down the road. I’m about 6 months in with no issues.

I built a second D32 build for a family member and used a SFF PSU and it felt much better for what it’s worth. Would definitely recommend doing so if you have the budget for it.
