NONE of them have the dual touchpads the steamdeck has either. Fucking seriously... Even if having to deal with windows wasnt a dealbreaker for me, having only thumbsticks to control a computer with is a hard pass for me
Other companies are fools for not almost directly copying the steamdecks control scheme, it should be a standard, that is what the deck is, a standard setter.
It really is mind boggling that they are attempting to compete first mover bonus with inferior products (I'm aware GPD was doing this for YEARS before Steam moved in, but Steam is like apple moving into a product category)
