Outside of your list, the Logitech k830 makes for a great couch keyboard. I pair it with a g502 for actual games, but the touchpad works well otherwise.
Holy crap, those are super pricey now. I have one I got a while ago and I'm pretty sure I got it for like 60 bucks or less. There's no way I would have spent more on a keyboard back then.
Why are they so highly priced?
Looks like it was discontinued with no obvious similar replacement. Disappointing!
Oh nice, hadn't consider a keyboard ๐ was thinking to just use a gamepad, Xbox controller
Only thing I'd change is the SSD. For roughly $10-$20 more there's several 2TB options worth considering
Thanks! I will consider a buigger ssd ๐
Ok hear me out.... Steam deck and the dock. 4 8bitdo controllers and a Logitech wireless kb/mouse combo.
Use Firefox as a non steam app for Plex, Spotify, streaming site of choice etc....all the artwork is available. Spend a few minutes to map the controllers so you can use them on those non steam apps and you're golden.
This is the setup I have and it works pretty well. My family got to grips with any little annoyances pretty well.
Oh really interesting. I'm gonna do some research about this approach! Thanks
If you go this route, let me know if you have any questions on how to set some of it up. SteamOS is pretty great as a media center that's gaming focused.
For stuff that doesn't work great as a non steam app, you can boot into the desktop mode, which is just kde on immutable arch
If you can find it, get a case that fits your space and can fit a full height graphics cards. It's hard enough finding the right graphics card. Being limited to half height is extremely limiting.
Noctua cooler is overkill for a 5600. If you dont mind a tiny bit more noise, the stock cooler is fine
Okay, I was going for a quiet build. Maybe I just go with the stock cooler and save some bucks
