    The MSI Claw is so close to being good. I really wanted this to be amazing when it came to playing PC games on the go, but this fell short in a few ways. Compared the ROG Ally as well as the Legion Go, the MSI Claw has a lot to live up to. In some ways, it does live up to the hype....while in others it doesn't.

    I have a SD and Ally. SD grips sometimes feel to big, but I can comfortably other than reaching buttons as fast as I like. Ally much better reaching buttons but cramps my hands in about an hour. So the call does seem to strike a good balance.
    I also want to see what Linux be like on the claw as Intel tends to have very good open-source and open standard drivers.

    Just got a steam deck OLED last week nd I’m loving it as my 1st PC experience.
    The claw is looking rough rn but has potential.
    I’m looking forward to seeing that Orange Pi Neo nd if it’s a real competitor to the steam deck

    @4xgameenthusiast501 Місяць тому

    It is great that there is a lot of competition in the market building up for the sake of us gamers. That said, I wasn't convinced due to the fact that this uses an Intel APU when it was announced and the more videos I see about the Claw, the less I want one. Also, I have no intention of getting into the hassles that come with a Windows gaming handheld at the moment. I was going to get a Legion Go, but I've now decided to stick with just my Deck as a second handheld is something I don't really need.

    I’ve been waiting on your thoughts on this. I’ve made the decision to just wait for the next iteration of the Steam Deck that Valve is no doubt working on as we speak in some form. And you are absolutely right about the no-case situation, even my TB Stealth Ultra pc controller came with one.

    • @baldlyrudy

      That's probably a wise choice at this point. And I'm definitely excited to see where Valve decides to go with the Steam Deck.

      If you're talking about the MSI Center, it's somewhat like it in design aesthetic, but the bare bones layout is a little different. But I'm purely talking about the UX.
      There are a lot of other ways that MSI took "inspiration" from ASUS and their ROG Ally. It's kinda crazy. 😅
