Can you not connect a mouse and keyboard to the deck?
you can
The only way people should play is MY way! Get out of here computer-with-attached-controls users, you're worthless and not welcome!
Anything can be suboptimal hardware, the Steam Deck is no different from any other computer and does not even have to be a handheld.
And I do not play or own a Steam Deck or alike, if that concerns you. Accept other peoples hardware and ways to play, it's a whole lot easier than whatever you're doing.
The size of screen is a huge disadvantage by itself
Can it not output the display to, say, a TV?
The thing could be a budget gaming PC for some people. Most people are not going to be competing super hard; they just want to play the game and have fun. Who else would be taking up the bronze and silver brackets?
Yes, they sell a dock just for this purpose.
And pretty much any USBC dock will work as well.
4K output. Peripheral/mouse and keyboard support. It’s a PC.
