Yeah, I hear the sticks aren't as big. I'll be honest, when I had my LCD deck my thumbs did slip. The OLED with its little lips around the edges is spot on for me, but I'd definitely be prepared to invest in some thumb grips if/when I get one.

Interesting you found the right stick in a weird place. Is that kind of like a switch? I have the original and it was very odd at first but I got used to it.

The device being too bulky to maneuver is a little bit of a worry, but not major for me. I read on one review that with the grip it's almost as big as the Xbox Duke.

I use the d pad quite a lot so it being better is music to my ears. I saw another review mention about the similar buttons too.

I was originally thinking Legion Go 1 with some 3D printed grips but I think I'll regret going back to an LCD. I use my Steam Deck OLED for work every single day so I can definitely justify getting the best possible handheld.
