It's been great, as a new dad with a young kid, I no longer had time to boot up my gaming pc. Now that I have a steam deck, I play a lot more games. It's also by far the game console I fight the most over with my wife. She loves playing with it.

I don't mind the ergonomics. I find it comfortable to hold. Battery life is not great but I mostly play at home and I don't mind.

We also have a switch but don't play it that much. The steam deck is just more convenient because of the steam integration and the fact that games on steam are much cheaper and there are a lot more games.
