I have 3. One permanently docked, and two portable — one LCD and one OLED.

256G LCD (what do i do with it now?) / 1T OLED

The oled made a lot of people owner of 2 decks. I am one of them.

I do. I live in Japan, which did not get the Steam Deck officially until almost a year later, and even when availability in Japan was announced, it wasn’t clear when we’d be able to actually order, let alone receive, a Deck. So I ordered one through a friend in Germany (I’m a German expat living in Japan) first, but also put a pre-order in for a Japanese one as soon as I could.

The German Deck came through first, and I considered cancelling the Japanese order at that point but ended up keeping both. My thinking was that if I ever have any issues with a foreign bought Deck, that will be a pain to resolve (as I don’t assume the Japanese distributor would be willing to support a Deck bought abroad - at least that’s not how tech support here usually works for most companies).

Right now, the second Deck is really just a fallback in case my original Deck ever breaks down. I charge it occasionally and sometimes I play on it, but mostly I use the original Deck because some data (mods, non-cloud saves) are local and I don’t want to bother keeping them synced manually. I appreciate the peace of mind of having redundancy, as the Deck is for all intents and purposes my only gaming device and gaming is my main hobby. If I ever upgrade to an OLED or a future Steam Deck 2, I’d very likely still keep one of them as a backup. I have a friend who has been tempted by the Deck though, and if she ever expressed concrete interest in buying one, I might sell her my mostly unused Deck for a bargain if she wants.

Since I’d never been in the Steam ecosystem prior to my first Deck, I had one deck that was “pure”, and a second that was experimental. That way I could learn Linux, install things like cryo tools, chiaki, and other launchers without messing up my pure deck. Also, part of the process of experimentation is having a neutral sample to compare the experiments to. The experimental deck became my Diablo 4 and WoW machine until D4 released natively.

Instead of sitting inside to play my Steam Deck 100% of the time, I’ll sit on the porch outside to play. I have big dogs (130 pounds), so they’ll get it dirty and scratchy when bringing toys back to be thrown. So now I have an OG deck that I am less worried about scratching, another for experiments and booting windows since my computers are all Macs, and the third, my main gaming system, is a SE OLED…

Isn’t owning multiple Steam Decks something we’re supposed to do? This is expected.

I have a 512GB version. The cost for that one was split between me and my brother and we both have our accounts on it. That was soon after the release and took 6 months to arrive. 2 months ago I bought a 256GB version that only I paid for so I can bring it to the dorms since I’m a college student now.

Have one lcd from near launch and now the oled from my recent visit to Japan. Currently contemplating whether I sell the lcd or keep it. But I wouldn’t be using both it’s exclusively the OLED one now

I have LCD and OLED, but I’ll give LCD away to my family. I don’t need two decks.

Windows LCD SteamOS OLED
