Is the entry-level Steam Deck worth the investment?

While the original base model of the Steam Deck may not be as advanced as its modern OLED-display counterparts, it's still one of the best gaming handhelds around, and it has not let me down in the three years I've owned it.

Its SteamOS operating system is extremely user-friendly, its controls are responsive, it's able to run most PC games with smooth performance framerates of 60fps at 1280x800 resolution. It can even run hardware-hungry games like Cyberpunk 2077 and Forza Horizon 5 at consistent 30 to 40 FPS if you lock the handheld's refresh rate to 40Hz.

The Steam Deck is also fairly durable, comfy to hold (especially for gamers with big hands like mine), and is compatible with various cloud apps to stream games like NVIDIA GeForce NOW and Xbox Cloud Gaming.

What's more is that the Steam Deck is easily upgradeable as you can outfit it with third-party shells, enhanced display screens, hall-effect sticks, custom face buttons, and larger SSDs. You can even pair it up with wireless controllers, keyboards, and mice while it's in dock mode to play games with your preferred controller method.

So, if you end up getting the OG Steam Deck through Valve's Black Friday sales event and fancy some extra accessories to recharge its batteries, make certain games easier to play, or keep it safe while travelling, then check out these discounted peripherals today to enrich your Steam Deck.
