Honestly i thumbs down 👎 because you failed to “to wait to download GrandTheft Auto 5” ….Bruh I’m sure most of your viewers would’ve wanted to see GTA5 on this handheld what a Bummer “WEEK SAUCE BRO‼️” I couldn’t even Finish watching 🤦♂️
I completely agree with you in regards to the trackpads on the Steam Deck. With the pads, it makes menu and desktop navigation a lot easier on the Deck. It also opens up a lot of possibilities for games that heavily use or require a mouse, both in and out of Steam. As an example, something that I frequently do on my Steam Deck is play Flash games on it, and with Steam input, I can easily maps all of the necessary keyboard controls per Flash game on the Deck and use the trackpad for accurate mouse controls.
@@BringusStudios It's a fun use case. It's not completely perfect, mainly stemming from Flash games having about half a second of audio delay for some reason despite the audio being fine on Windows, but it's nothing too bad. Many of the games that I tested work very well.
@@Yixdy I'll be honest, it wasn't super simple. The method I used involved trying to download the games I wanted through looking at the page sources for Flash sites, which doesn't always work well. Plus, I imagine that methods like this may be harder to do now that many Flash sites have changed due to the program's shutdown. Though there are still archives of a lot of different Flash games online. One of the bigger ones is BlueMaxima's Flashpoint, which is a program that allows you to download and load Flash games and animations within it, but it might be difficult to install on the Steam Deck from what I've seen.
OneXPlayers tech support is horrid. I have a friend who has been waiting half a year for his original OneXPlayer to be repaired, this turns me off from buying one, the money is better spent on an Aya Neo. The Steam Decks controls are horrid personally.

I've heard a lot of people with the ROG Ally hated using Windows on a touch screen too and considered Windows to be the worst part of the system. It's really amazing what Valve did with Steam to make it so pleasant to use on a handheld. The small touches like the touchpads and so on really make it hard to prefer other handhelds over it.
I returned the rog ally extreme for a 1tb steam deck oled, the ally is so much more powerful and is compatible with a lot more games, but something about the steam deck is hard to resist
@@Joe-qd7kd I love that the Steam Deck comes with Linux ootb, and bought mine to support Valve for all the work they've done on Linux. The biggest selling point for me though is the touchpads. I'm not used to analog sticks for shooters and find the touchpads to be easier to use. As compatibility goes, I actually only have one game I play that doesn't work on Linux. I might get an SD card and install Windows to the card for it at some point.
@@mysteryboyee Not really. Microsoft has been trying to make it work since 2008 or so and has never succeeded. There's a reason they gave up competing with Android tablets. Besides it's not just the touchscreen, controllers aren't a good input device for Windows either.
The only reason why steam deck performed bad on the console emulator game is because theres currently a bug that reduces performance by a lot on the cpu side, it has to do with the smt and cache, if u would disabled smt it wouldve run at 60 or higher too, steam os will apparently patch this problem in the next big update
I have the OXP2. It performs as we were told, it has a huge battery, "large" screen. It can be used as a gaming handheld, as a tablet and a mini PC. With the detachable controllers it is all those three. I love it.
Needed a pick me up. Just finished my last day at my job and it was really hard saying goodbye to all my coworkers. Keep up the good work Bringus, I cant get enough of these vids for whatever reason lol
I specifically want only a steam for the touchpads, there's really no effective way to play RTS games and games like Project Zomboid RimWorld etc without them, I'd be all over whatever handheld has the best "mouse" to it, throw an effective keyboard to it too and it's the king

Steam Deck all the way. SteamOS is the "console" experience that PC gaming needed to break into that market. It doesn't matter how powerful other devices are if the experience of using them is janky at best and and absolute headache at worst. Maybe one day Windows will play nice on form factors like this, but as great as PC gaming is, the reason why console gaming still has such a big draw and market share, is because of it's ease of use. I've been both a PC and console gamer for as long as I can remember, and of course I prefer PC gaming overall, but you can't deny that the console experience makes the barrier to entry for people just way way lower. Don't agree? Tell that to the Nintendo Switch. It's woefully underpowered compared to PC's and hell, even other consoles, but the numbers don't lie. The fact that the Switch is STILL selling both consoles and games as well as it is after all these years is unarguable proof that the "console formula" works. Same for Sony, same for Microsoft. Yes, us PC gamer folk are usually more than capable of doing the necessary tweaking, installing, workarounds, mods, etc. to get a great experience regardless of the hardware, but I just don't think that's who Valve is targeting with the Steam Deck anyway. They are very obviously targeting the PC gamers that want more ways to play, and more importantly, they are targeting the console gamers that are curious/wanting to get into the wonderful world of PC gaming, but don't have the time, money, and experience to get into it. The Steam Deck bridges that gap. Affordable, versatile, boot it up, log in, and boom, you're gaming. Just like a console. In the end, gamers just want to game. So the experience that makes you game the easiest is going to win out.
Is the steamOS with it's simulation of windows games via proton faster than just playing on windows os with the windows bloatware? Bc this will make the difference between buying an ally or a deck
@@TheUltimateHacker007Depends on the game, but a lot of the time it is faster. WINE (which is one of the bigger parts of Proton) is a complete reimplememtation of common Windows programming interfaces. So it's not really a "simulation" or emulator, it's more a Linux API that just so happens to correspond 1:1 to common Windows APIs. Because it is a reimplementation, certain functions might get the same job done in a different way, which could be faster, slower or less compatible than the "real" Windows API. But yeah, the lack of bloatware along with Linux having much better OpenGL and Java performance can make certain games have far better performance.
I remember the Sony UX and how sci-fi (and expensive) it was to own one, now portable gaming is giving us handheld fully fledged gaming pc's that are 100x as powerful and energy efficient...pretty incredible...I ditched desktop and laptop and have been using a steam deck with dock as my main pc for months now, powerful little thing, couldn't ask for more and as its marketed as a gaming console its price stays competitive. It has been a learning curve (USB C single port, third party docks) but I wouldn't turn back, amazes and humbles me that I have all that power in such a small package...playing games my main system used to struggle to play, on a handheld at 100+ FPS... barely any fan noise and not pulling 300W from teh wall? if theres a house firre I can grab my whole system and use it portable? gaming PC, console and personal pc in one? mind blown, FYI its a great workstation, use it for all sots of heavy editing and then can kick baxck and do some gaming, writing this on steam deck as desktop now, I forget it's not a workstation
blows my mind that the Steam Deck has its main GUI made to use with a controller, yet includes TWO track pads. While the competitors use freaking WINDOWS and don't include trackpads. like what
Thanks to being blessed with having a job that pays me handsomely, I own both a Steam Deck and an Aya Neo 2. I still need to get my emulators and roms installed and configured on the Aya Neo 2, so for now if I want to play retro and console games, the Steam Deck is my go to handhold. PC games feel similar, I haven't tried pushing both systems to the max to gauge which console's better even though the Aya Neo 2 has a more powerful processor. The jury's still out, my only discovered preference was for the Onexplayer with the 5800U, the ergonomics and feel in hand appealed to me over the other consoles, it may have to do with it matching the size of my hands versuses the other handhelds. This appears to be a monster of a handhold but with the announcement of the Asus Ally and other 7840U handhelds coming in the near future, this device is too little too late, I don't know if they plan to release a new OXP with the 7840U but if they do, it could make the entire handheld market more interesting. The Asus Ally could also drive the price of these handhelds below the $1k+ asking price of the Aya Neo's, GPD's and OXP's.
I have a Steam Deck, but I've been very interested in more powerful handhelds that have come out or been announced. However, seeing how bad Windows is on these things makes me really appreciate SteamOS. And seeing that HoloISO still has quirks on other hardware, I think I'll stick to official hardware.
Damn i wanted to subscribe but it’s already done. Love your content, for the viewer it feels like we are right there with you, thank you for the informative and funny video man
That top USB c port is actually thunderbolt 4. You could use an external GPU if you wanted to get ridiculous with it. I think ETA prime actually hooked up a RTX 3080.

You pulling out the LeapFrog Leapster GS and calling it "the pinnacle of gaming" absolutely *destroyed me* 😂 I grew up a LeapFrog kid so that bit was *priceless* XD
@@chdreturns have you used the steam decks track pads? They aren't your pappy's laptop or god forbid dual shock 4 track pads. Those bad boys are the tits AND the ass. As long as there's both two analog sticks, and one or two track pads, there's absolutely nothing to get butthurt about
I dig these takes on the Steam Deck-alikes that come your way. Mostly because they're totally helping me just shut up and be happy with the Deck. $1,200, $1,500? Damn that could go into a really powerful but thermally screwed laptop with a decorative battery and like a mobile 4070 or 4080 in it or something.
I was wondering why there are separate Joy-Cons too. Nobody will confuse it with a Switch! Maybe they expect the sticks will drift? Then they can just tell you to buy a new pair for $60 instead of letting you service it. Also I've seen photos where the controllers were attached to something that looks like the Switch's charging grip. They sell those magnetic keyboards too so if you attach one and remove the controllers then it turns into a Surface-style device (basically a netbook) giving it a second use in school or work without exposing your epic gamer power level.
This is a great video and oh my god the LAST thing I expected to see was PS All Stars in the wild! I was obsessed with that game for the longest time (still kinda am, it was a good game lmao)
Pretty sure the reason the resolution is so high is so that you can integer scale down to 800p and have it still look good. Aswell as having 1600p for videos and clearer text. Lots of other brands are doing the same.
Damn, the way you fly through menus and setting on the steam deck so effortlessly and interface with it makes it seem so comfortable and natural. I know the 1xplayer is new to you so you don’t have the muscle memory with it, but damn it makes the steamdeck look faster, more intuitive, and far far more effortless to use.
Just stumbled across your channel today. I like you. You are fun and your videos are fun. Thanks for being a creator. Keep it up and I look forward to your other videos.
On a desktop, i aktually think you can still create a local account just by unplugging the LAN. At least it worked on mine. It will just give you the option to say "I don't have internet". BUT, if you have wifi built in into your pc, it won't work or you need to unplug/ get the wifi card out for it too work. And why they where so simmilar, you can turn of V-sync. V-sync locks your fps on the refresh rate of your monitor, so if you really want to compare them, disable it. Even tho, this is one of the first videos of you, i watch, I already love them. Thanks for making my day better
No matter how much better the performance of this thing is i just cant think that it would surpass the steamdeck for me. The steamdeck is such a nice pakage with a very fair price that its hard for me to just imagine to switch over to a different system.
Game that'll absolutely push your hardware: Elden Ring. Gotta run through all kinds of hoops just to get it to 30fps on Steamdeck. The OnexPlayer seems nice enough but I agree with you on the trackpads. Those are such a big game changer for handheld PC.
I bought the steam deck as a replacement for my laptop. I am now working full time on my steam deck, and once I am fed up with work, I pull it from the dock and switch back to console mode. I do have a desktop on my server that I remotely use too. I think this alone has lowered my power use by 60..80W My 4k monitor would allow to connect to my server, but the monitor only supports 1080p as max resolution for the on-board soc. I would still buy the deck price wise. I would buy the deck support wise. But if the deck wasn't there but something like steam holo (not steam os v2, but really steam deck steam os) would exist, I would buy that and have a bit more room when I am working in the train. Yes, I work in the train too. Everything is possible with the deck. Just as long as you don't install windows, it keeps being useful.
I did the opposite, I put Windows 11 to go on a Micro SD card to try it on the Steam Deck. Oh BOY! Not a great experience!!! Everything works, drivers are fine, games work OK, and even games that don't work under SteamOS, like Fortnite, work fine. But the overall experience of Windows 11 on a handheld is horrible!
Just a tip, a game I have that pushes my Steam Deck is Teardown, maybe that'll be a good game to test, it even pushes my PC which is quite powerful lol, also its usually quite cheap on steam
Thank you. You brought my joy back because I'm tired of the Nintendo Switch and other limited consoles. All of them are computers but programmed to limit the owner to just a selection of games.
Cool video! I picked the OXP2 because the Steamdeck wasn't available for delivery to the region I'm in back in December and I'm really loving the OXP2, but I wish it had a touchpad too. All in all though, it's an awesome device!

The Steam Deck bridges that gap. Affordable, versatile, boot it up, log in, and boom, you're gaming. Just like a console.
In the end, gamers just want to game. So the experience that makes you game the easiest is going to win out.
Is the steamOS with it's simulation of windows games via proton faster than just playing on windows os with the windows bloatware? Bc this will make the difference between buying an ally or a deck
@@TheUltimateHacker007Depends on the game, but a lot of the time it is faster.
WINE (which is one of the bigger parts of Proton) is a complete reimplememtation of common Windows programming interfaces. So it's not really a "simulation" or emulator, it's more a Linux API that just so happens to correspond 1:1 to common Windows APIs.
Because it is a reimplementation, certain functions might get the same job done in a different way, which could be faster, slower or less compatible than the "real" Windows API. But yeah, the lack of bloatware along with Linux having much better OpenGL and Java performance can make certain games have far better performance.
Fan Gogh! I love it. I have to subscribe :) Thanks man for the amazing video! It's very entertaining!
I usually don't comment on stuff but you truly are funny af dude. I just can't stop laughing watching your videos. Keep the same vibe dude .
Thanks man ✌️
Those controllers do actually work disconnected lmao, it even has an attachable thing to turn them into a controller.
Yea, only with the accessory. They don't have batteries inside.
@@someguy9175 whoa lmao that's bad
The controllers detach and the scream stands using the kick stand which puts it in to fps mode for fist person shooter games
OMG, that design is so creative!
How do they even think of that??? 🧐

its shit
I think they may have gotten inspiration from the Nintendo switch?

I remember the Sony UX and how sci-fi (and expensive) it was to own one, now portable gaming is giving us handheld fully fledged gaming pc's that are 100x as powerful and energy efficient...pretty incredible...I ditched desktop and laptop and have been using a steam deck with dock as my main pc for months now, powerful little thing, couldn't ask for more and as its marketed as a gaming console its price stays competitive. It has been a learning curve (USB C single port, third party docks) but I wouldn't turn back, amazes and humbles me that I have all that power in such a small package...playing games my main system used to struggle to play, on a handheld at 100+ FPS... barely any fan noise and not pulling 300W from teh wall? if theres a house firre I can grab my whole system and use it portable? gaming PC, console and personal pc in one? mind blown,
FYI its a great workstation, use it for all sots of heavy editing and then can kick baxck and do some gaming, writing this on steam deck as desktop now, I forget it's not a workstation
blows my mind that the Steam Deck has its main GUI made to use with a controller, yet includes TWO track pads. While the competitors use freaking WINDOWS and don't include trackpads. like what
Thanks to being blessed with having a job that pays me handsomely, I own both a Steam Deck and an Aya Neo 2. I still need to get my emulators and roms installed and configured on the Aya Neo 2, so for now if I want to play retro and console games, the Steam Deck is my go to handhold. PC games feel similar, I haven't tried pushing both systems to the max to gauge which console's better even though the Aya Neo 2 has a more powerful processor. The jury's still out, my only discovered preference was for the Onexplayer with the 5800U, the ergonomics and feel in hand appealed to me over the other consoles, it may have to do with it matching the size of my hands versuses the other handhelds. This appears to be a monster of a handhold but with the announcement of the Asus Ally and other 7840U handhelds coming in the near future, this device is too little too late, I don't know if they plan to release a new OXP with the 7840U but if they do, it could make the entire handheld market more interesting. The Asus Ally could also drive the price of these handhelds below the $1k+ asking price of the Aya Neo's, GPD's and OXP's.
I have a Steam Deck, but I've been very interested in more powerful handhelds that have come out or been announced. However, seeing how bad Windows is on these things makes me really appreciate SteamOS. And seeing that HoloISO still has quirks on other hardware, I think I'll stick to official hardware.
The reference to Doug geeked me so hard. Great video!
Over the course of my life I've gone from being annoyed by chinese products covered with engrish to being pleasantly charmed by them
Right when you said "Xbox on" at 6:50, you actually turned on *my* Xbox. I've never had that happen before.
Yo love the vids bro 😎
Can't wait for the ROG Ally to come out so you can perform wacky experiments on it
SteamOS on Ally is probably going to be very good.
@@MrSuperpoder I hope so, thats my plan for it.
Damn i wanted to subscribe but it’s already done. Love your content, for the viewer it feels like we are right there with you, thank you for the informative and funny video man
That top USB c port is actually thunderbolt 4. You could use an external GPU if you wanted to get ridiculous with it. I think ETA prime actually hooked up a RTX 3080.
That's bonkers lmao
You really deserve your channel success, nothing of luck, just quality.
In game mode you can use any resolution…just go to the game properties and change it. You aren’t locked to 720p thats just default.
Ah good to know
Watched a couple of videos and the single thing I have to say is that I love the use of the DK country OST in the editing, actual symphonies to my ears
Steam Deck feels like an actual console while OneX feels like a specsheet with two big joycons attacthed
The steam deck feels like a toy.
installing steamos on the onex turns it into a console tho
@@thatonetech5511yeah that’s kind of the point…like it’s literally a gaming device first and a productivity machine second
You had my curiosity, but 4:53 you have my attention
definitely can't dethrone the steam deck at that price point just based off the fact that price to performance the steam deck definitely has beat
You pulling out the LeapFrog Leapster GS and calling it "the pinnacle of gaming" absolutely *destroyed me* 😂
I grew up a LeapFrog kid so that bit was *priceless* XD
That trackpad is top tier more handhelds gotta use it
No, trackpads suck.
@@chdreturns have you used the steam decks track pads? They aren't your pappy's laptop or god forbid dual shock 4 track pads. Those bad boys are the tits AND the ass.
As long as there's both two analog sticks, and one or two track pads, there's absolutely nothing to get butthurt about
@@Yixdy what the fuck is that analogy. i agree tho
That feeling when you’re eating a bagel at five in the morning and your Google home starts screaming the definition of brevity at you.
THAT IS ONE CHUNKY BOY
I dig these takes on the Steam Deck-alikes that come your way. Mostly because they're totally helping me just shut up and be happy with the Deck. $1,200, $1,500? Damn that could go into a really powerful but thermally screwed laptop with a decorative battery and like a mobile 4070 or 4080 in it or something.
it would be funny if there's effectively a new wave of steam machines in the form of handhelds after the first attempt for tv set boxes flopped
I'd be so down
Yeah I'd love to see new machines made for SteamOS maybe in a few years if the steam deck and future iterations are a success.
"I didn't realize that this game wasn't really that hard to run." buddy, its DOOM, of course it's easy to run
10:47 had me rolling on the floor. Man of culture it seems
Maybe the Aya Neo next???
the doug demuro cameo reference was funny
I work in IT and you showing how to make a local account on Windows 11, I thank you so much, you’re literally the GOAT🙏🙏
When you said hey google 1:44 my phone just defined it to me
I was wondering why there are separate Joy-Cons too. Nobody will confuse it with a Switch! Maybe they expect the sticks will drift? Then they can just tell you to buy a new pair for $60 instead of letting you service it. Also I've seen photos where the controllers were attached to something that looks like the Switch's charging grip. They sell those magnetic keyboards too so if you attach one and remove the controllers then it turns into a Surface-style device (basically a netbook) giving it a second use in school or work without exposing your epic gamer power level.
That Google answer messed me up 😂🎉
This is a great video and oh my god the LAST thing I expected to see was PS All Stars in the wild! I was obsessed with that game for the longest time (still kinda am, it was a good game lmao)
🔥_🔥 we want a sim card slot for every single upcoming handhelds.
9:14
Minecraft closing door sound.
I loved the Doug demouro reference
Pretty sure the reason the resolution is so high is so that you can integer scale down to 800p and have it still look good. Aswell as having 1600p for videos and clearer text. Lots of other brands are doing the same.
3:16 😂 Only true 2000's kids caught that Spongebob reference....LOL
op be like: i like big controllers and i cannot lie you other brothers cant deny"
I like that you show that not everything works the first time. Exactly how i had to endure it. Always a problem somewhere
Damn, the way you fly through menus and setting on the steam deck so effortlessly and interface with it makes it seem so comfortable and natural.
I know the 1xplayer is new to you so you don’t have the muscle memory with it, but damn it makes the steamdeck look faster, more intuitive, and far far more effortless to use.
Just stumbled across your channel today. I like you. You are fun and your videos are fun. Thanks for being a creator. Keep it up and I look forward to your other videos.
Was taken aback by the "Ma boy" King. Has been a long time since I saw that! Great stuff
On a desktop, i aktually think you can still create a local account just by unplugging the LAN. At least it worked on mine. It will just give you the option to say "I don't have internet". BUT, if you have wifi built in into your pc, it won't work or you need to unplug/ get the wifi card out for it too work.
And why they where so simmilar, you can turn of V-sync. V-sync locks your fps on the refresh rate of your monitor, so if you really want to compare them, disable it.
Even tho, this is one of the first videos of you, i watch, I already love them. Thanks for making my day better
No matter how much better the performance of this thing is i just cant think that it would surpass the steamdeck for me. The steamdeck is such a nice pakage with a very fair price that its hard for me to just imagine to switch over to a different system.
to be honest, this handheld is very powerful but it just looks cheap. The steamdeck is very streamline and good looking
Game that'll absolutely push your hardware: Elden Ring. Gotta run through all kinds of hoops just to get it to 30fps on Steamdeck.
The OnexPlayer seems nice enough but I agree with you on the trackpads. Those are such a big game changer for handheld PC.
The more I watch your vids, the more your voice reminds me of youtuber Smii7y, but a tone lower, and at the same level of enthusiasm. Love it.
It's funny coming back to this after seeing valves limited edition OLED deck with the orange accents
I love your sense of humor! :) Great video!
10:12 thats a pretty good idea actually.
I wanted to finish your video, but I just listened to a baby watching songs on youtube all day yesterday. The background music is giving me PTSD.
When you said hey Google it activated mine and I was watching at 3am, my heart almost gave up
I bought the steam deck as a replacement for my laptop. I am now working full time on my steam deck, and once I am fed up with work, I pull it from the dock and switch back to console mode.
I do have a desktop on my server that I remotely use too.
I think this alone has lowered my power use by 60..80W
My 4k monitor would allow to connect to my server, but the monitor only supports 1080p as max resolution for the on-board soc.
I would still buy the deck price wise. I would buy the deck support wise. But if the deck wasn't there but something like steam holo (not steam os v2, but really steam deck steam os) would exist, I would buy that and have a bit more room when I am working in the train.
Yes, I work in the train too. Everything is possible with the deck. Just as long as you don't install windows, it keeps being useful.
Detachable controls are fantastic choice. You will be able to buy other options + if they will break you can change only them not the hole unit!!!
I didn't realize this was a Bringus Studios video until the end lol
I did the opposite, I put Windows 11 to go on a Micro SD card to try it on the Steam Deck. Oh BOY! Not a great experience!!! Everything works, drivers are fine, games work OK, and even games that don't work under SteamOS, like Fortnite, work fine. But the overall experience of Windows 11 on a handheld is horrible!
might be bc you’re running it from a sd card…
Just a tip, a game I have that pushes my Steam Deck is Teardown, maybe that'll be a good game to test, it even pushes my PC which is quite powerful lol, also its usually quite cheap on steam
YOOO when did we hit 60k bro i came back after a while (idr what you had when i subbed) but keep up the good work man, will be active here
1:42 When you said "Hey Google, define brevity", you activated my Google Home and it gave me a fright hahaha
Thank you. You brought my joy back because I'm tired of the Nintendo Switch and other limited consoles. All of them are computers but programmed to limit the owner to just a selection of games.
Also you can replace your joysticks without servicing the entire tablet. Removable sticks are definitely beneficial
Cool video! I picked the OXP2 because the Steamdeck wasn't available for delivery to the region I'm in back in December and I'm really loving the OXP2, but I wish it had a touchpad too. All in all though, it's an awesome device!
Great video. Subscribed. Thanks!
Youre gonna blow up big, i hope youre ready!
You sell out good and proper 😂
The touchpads on the deck are divine.
9:40 "changing the time and date fixed it" lmao whaaaat
4:32 rofl =))) so precise description of the app
The Lenovo legion go has it all... joycons with trackpads! ...and it comes with AR glasses.
