At first glance the ROG Ally looks slick, and more products in this space is a win for all.
But... The steam deck's inclusion of touch-pads shouldn't be over-looked. Having the ability to have mouse access opens up a lot of games and software that would struggle with controller-only interaction.
Adding in back-side paddles for even more control-mapping options and I can't see replacing my deck with this.
