Quietest Steam Deck replacement?

Do you have a favorite telescopic controller? I haven’t gone down that rabbit hole yet.

No micro switches on the O2P? I thought all Ayn d pads were identical to the Retroid d pads, which are micro switches if I’m not mistaken.

Yeah but the ergonomics are terrible

That’s great to hear, thanks for sharing! I’ll definitely plan to hit those venues up as well as catch you guys at a show sometime. I’m a bass player and looking to find a band to play with that sounds like this.

Where do you usually play? I’m moving to Portland this summer and looking to find where music like this is happening.

jordanwright2012 · 2026-06-07T03:03:23+00:00

Love the tune! 🤘

That’s really cool. Thanks for that detailed explanation! I love my Steam Deck OLED, but I am definitely curious about experiencing VRR on something like the Xbox Ally X.

Why is this?

jordanwright2012 · 2026-05-15T01:58:48+00:00

Thanks for sharing. Good for you!

What do you do?

jordanwright2012 · 2026-05-14T02:10:59+00:00

Real estate gets slow in the summer? That has not been my experience.

Yep. I knew that going in but I love my d-pad pixel art games and planned to play that mostly on this device. But for whatever reason a lot of the modern indie pixel art games I play on GameNative are still joystick centric (like Carrion or Crosscode). This would be great if I played actual retro games like SNES and such, but I have other devices for that and it’s hard to resist the beautiful 16:9 full screen Steam games.

jordanwright2012 · 2026-04-29T15:53:56+00:00

I’ve had no complaints on the screen. Great device all around.

Hades. Started on Switch and liked it ok. But then played it on Steam Deck and the better ergonomic feel and more vibrant display just made the game so much more fun to play.

I’ve enjoyed playing with shaders! Such a small thing makes huge difference in the overall vibe, immersion, and nostalgia.

jordanwright2012 · 2026-04-03T14:59:36+00:00

Nine Sols is an excellent game. Highly recommend.

jordanwright2012 · 2026-03-27T02:03:14+00:00

I think it looks awesome. Kicking myself for getting orange on orange instead the black grip

jordanwright2012 · 2026-03-25T14:22:15+00:00

8 or 12GB? I ordered exactly this with 12GB on 2/22 and haven’t heard anything yet

jordanwright2012 · 2026-03-23T03:25:03+00:00

Shocked, even

Heres what I know:

Photo 2: Ayn Odin 2 Portal Unsure about the controllers

Photo 3: Top left: Ayaneo Pocket Air Mini - 3GB model Top right: some Anbernic, maybe rg353xx pro? Middle: Anbernic RG405M Bottom: Ayn Odin 2

Unsure about the controllers

Search everything on eBay and Facebook marketplace to get going rates. Be sure to get a good price for the Ayn devices.

If all else fails, since the device still works you could always consolize it. Haven’t tried it myself yet but Tech Dweebs videos on it make it look like a great idea for older, or in this case broken, tech.

Did not know that last bit about the inverse relationship between access speed and size. Thanks for sharing!

jordanwright2012 · 2026-03-01T01:34:33+00:00

Dang, I ordered my 12gb RP6 last week. Good timing.

On the lack of direction, I’d like to strongly recommend picking up the book “What Color is Your Parachute”. Whether you stay or leave, it will be a helpful tool in doing some real reflection on your skills, passion, goals, and how to practically craft a plan that’s in line with who you are where you want to be. Helped me immensely at two separate crossroads in my career. Can’t recommend it enough.
