I sidegraded to the Legion Go S SteamOS version and I've sworn to never buy anything else but a Steam Deck again. While on paper it seems great, more power, better screen, steamOS, more ram, more everything. It also has it's downsides you realize when you actually use it daily. It's bulky and heavy

Opinions on trading a legion Go S for an Xbox Ally X?

I have both, I prefer the XAX over the Legion Go S. Yes, I wish the screen was a little bigger on the X, but it's not a deal breaker, the performance, ergonomics, battery life, speakers, haptics, are superior on the X. I have Bazzite installed on mine and love it (dual boot set up with Windows) As f

Which do you recommend: the Lenovo Legion Go Z1 Extreme or the Lenovo Legion Go Z2 Standard?

So I decided on a Lenovo Legion Go S Z1 Extreme, but wouldn't a Lenovo Legion Go Z1 Extreme be better? It has a larger screen and detachable controls.

Legion Go S mushy A button

Cheapest solution is to mash the other 3 buttons so that they all feel mushy like A. But if you really want to know what it takes to replace the buttons and other parts: https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/solutions/ht517215-removal-and-replacement-videos-legion-go-s-8arp1-83l3

Which handheld for strategy/indie games (Civ & FM)? Legion Go S vs. Steam Deck OLED?

Didn't play either, but I have played some RTS and other mouse heavy PC games on the deck. I think the legion go S would be a huge headache for you to wrangle into feeling even usable for those kinds of games. The track pads on the deck not only function well as a mouse, but also are fantastic for s

Playing with Gamepad

I'm really confused, because another user says that the game, around cycle 50, struggles due to insufficient processing power. My device is a Legion Go S with 16GB of RAM and a Z1 Extreme. I really wanted to play, despite how difficult it is to get used to the controller.
