You say that, but I can keep my deck in docked/gaming mode, and my son who's only 7 has been playing away it like its a switch.
I think people just like to make excuses for their spending habits, which isn't wrong at all. It just becomes disheartening when you say such blatantly wrong things.

asdfasfasfasfasGenerally speaking you're either playing docked, or sitting down. Not typically both, but I know what you mean. Even then though, any of the games he plays just automatically readjust the resolution to handheld mode and works just fine. Then when you plug it back in, it knows to stop using the steam as monitor 1 and switches the output to the TV.
Not sure how you're doing it, but its worked fine for me.

asdfasfasfasfasWhat? Didn't realize it was such a draw, but irregardless as I said, you just unplug the screen. Its as easy as that with a hub, just like a switch. I do it daily.

asdfasfasfasfasDo you know what a hub is? Same exact thing
spoiler
asdfasfasfasfasThats what I'm saying, a hub and a steam deck act the same as a switch, I don't understand your point.

asdfasfasfasfasI don't know what to tell ya, im sorry your experience is so buggy. My 7 year old child has been able to walk around and it enjoy it like a switch, thats literally all that matters to me. Lots of other people like to complain and it say its not stable at all, and thats just simply not true either.
