I modelled and printed a custom mount for my portable monitor and attached it to my steam deck for big screen Minecraft on the couch, it’s suprisingly comfortable to hold
Me: I love my Steam Deck, but I wish it were lighter.
OP:
Looks like he doesn’t mind the workout required just to keep the thing facing the right way.
So basically a laptop, except you can disconnect the large screen.
And instead of a keyboard you have controller controls. Also there’s a 2nd touchpad.
I use my deck all the time to manage my server and do normal desktop things on it, I only go to the server if the thing I have to type is longer than a sentence haha
Steam input is amazing. Macros, macros everywhere!!
Impressive! That looks heavy though; remember to be kind to your hands if you’re playing for a while
looks portable and comfortable to use. 🫶
The only thing I would change is to have it on a separate stand connected with a wireless pen. Maybe is just me, but the whole set seems tiring to hold for long gaming sessions.
My wrist hurts just looking at this
Holy moly the chad grip
What is the monitor model and brand?
It’s Aldi’s house brand here in Australia “bauhn” basically just a generic monitor
Ah okay, thanks.
As if the Deck wasn’t already heavy enough.
Stay tuned for when I print a holder for the 60000mah battery someone mentioned in the comments before haha
Fellow technical player spotted
XD tis why I love it… What gave it away?
Haha, for me it was the use of miniHUD and what looks to be bulk item storage(?)
Haha yeah I’ve been working on it for a couple days now and my partner decided to take the pic at the worst possible time, scaffolding everywhere XD, I use basically all the mods scicraft uses, they should be a vanilla feature
You know what would be cool? A mod that turns the second display into that 3ds Like inventory menu
I recommend looking up what people have done with raspberry pi screens essentially giving the deck a second screen that is far more practical than my setup here haha
What Minecraft version do you run on the deck?
1.21, I only updated to that version a couple weeks ago, it was 1.19 for ages before that, I only update if there is something that is worth it for me
YOOOO what’s the montor size?? I’ve got a 14 inch 15:10 from AliExpress and this would be the coolest shit to print out! If you could, could you share the file to it?
It’s 16 inches unfortunately, I used tinkercad to mock this up in about 3 hours with some calipers and a model from thingiverse to clip to the back of the deck, one thing I printed after this picture is a clip that goes over the decks screen to stop this abomination from unclipping from the weight
ahh unlucky, well anyways I’ll post back in a couple of weeks with my rendition. Finally i get to play DS games yippee
