Hopefully they don't fuck up the angle of the sides because the Steam Deck isn't ergonomic at all
Vs
Don't know how they could fuck this up so much when controllers haven't had straight sides in decades.
The steam deck is much wider than a normal controller, so much less of an angle is needed for a comfortable grip. There's a reason that most handhelds (Switch, Rog Ally, Lenovo Go, Wii U gamepad, etc) don't have angled grips.
I find the regular steam deck to be very comfortable for it's size and weight.
I get cramps after 20 minutes and it's not as if I had particularly wide shoulders. I wouldn't consider the Switch to be ergonomic either.
The Ally has more angle
And the Legion Go has detachable controllers and is wider.
And I'm far from alone that's complaining about it

The Deck is very ergonomic.
The flat sides don't work for me with the Deck which is much wider.
And it's not as if I was alone either

Well yeah, even if you designed the most ergonomic thing that's ever been created, there will always be some it doesn't work for, because everybody is different.
Reviews pretty much all said the deck is very ergonomic.
the steam deck is heavier than the xbone controller.
So? The problem I have is issue points because the angle is wrong, no matter the weight it would be an issue after a while.
