Am I crazy or does bob look kinda wide (ｑΓοΉΓｑ)
Love this kind of stuff. Getting a deck soon and canβt wait!
Love your man, this is what i care the most
The steam deck also has a native portrait display.

if the xbox controller is a 125 polling then a switch joycon is a 15 polling rate
Refurb lcd is the way to go unless you have infinite budget. 350 cad aka 250 usd. Its 30% the price of the competition and not that far apart. I got a used Ally for 400 cad compared to my 350 steam deck, and I'm not sure id pick that if that were their real prices. But the real price gap is more like double for the ally at which point i really wouldnt recommend it as the go to to anyone.
Faster doesn't mean better. I chose steamdeck oled over rog ally and legion go because of steam os optimization on linux. Windoes doesnt have a dedicated os for handheld. Its buggy af and with all that raw power and speed, it means almost nothing without optimization.
Legion go ftw
2:17 bros doing that n64 mario party strat that ruins your palm
and again at 6:49
no zim, no trade subscription! >:(
Any chance you'll do other videos such as controller reviews or tv upscalers again?
I think if you used a controller with mechanical buttons, like the Razer Xbox Ultimate Whatever v2, youβd have had an easier time with measuring your controller input lag. Instead of going by sight with the buttonβs shadows, you could have gone by the sound of the button actuating.
I think you mean the "quickest" not "fastest". Hm.
Nice to see open source latency testing device, otherwise most reviewers have gotten one from Nvidia, so hopefully this will mean you dont have to be at the mercy of Nvidia to do these tests.
Then hopefully it can also be expanded to better support more setups than none touch screen and mouse input.
Does it use older DirectX? I am pretty sure Intel ARC has no issue with latest DirectX (12) where its issues are with older APIs (so DirectX 11 and older and opengl etc.).
Anyway hopefully the latency measure device can use Vulkan to more easily work with various OSβs where DirectX is limited to Windows (and Xbox).
Legion go with its screen estate still wins in my book.
I love all of these steam deck fandoys itβs just hilarious π I have the system and I like it too but even I know itβs not all of that LOL
At the end of the day if your controller is wired through USB you are going to have virtually no lag for the most part.

Using a controller it makes absolutely no difference.
Bob, you're probably the only YouTuber that I actually enjoy watching your ads/sponsors because of how much effort and production you put in them. Not to forget the comedy lol.
Also thank you for all the content you create.
I don't know about the tester you used for TSL, but LDAT has probes that you could use to wire into the mouse switch, or a controller button pad. It's extremely invasive and requires some soldering, but it would give you super accurate results. I know you're more aiming for general data and the "feel" of it so what I'm saying is kind of an empty point⦠BUT! It is something I think not only myself, but others, would be interested in, Steve!!!!
A very interesting and useful discussion, which right now, tends to indicate that there is no universal and cohesive testing options to determine actual facts. There is one aspect that can be taken into consideration, albeit the one with the least factual credibility, feel. How people generally feel about the way that latency actually affects their personal experience will likely have more gravitas than some statistical numbers. A comparative example may be the question of what the maximum refresh rate of a monitor that the human eye can detect. In tests, under the right conditions, apparently, test subjects were able to perceive things at up to 500Hz. Ergo, if this was true, the idea of a 1000Hz screen may seem like magic but if the reality of the human experience does not or cannot match the scientific numbers, then they become moot when considering actual human experience, which, when they are within human limits, will still show variation that could generally help bolster or undermine claims or commonly held beliefs.
Steam deck and rog ally is my choice ππ―
I didn't know why bob didn't use a 2230 ssd composed of a windows build on steam deck so at least the test compatibility would operate correctly.
2:27 that right there is why Windows is a bad handheld experience. I got my ally and installed Linux on day one
When will Bob open βTHE WULFF DENβ? A chill coffee place people can go to for delicious coffees and also play retro games like arcade machines or emulated tv stations n stuff? Iβd love it
