    Thanks for the explanation! That makes a lot of sense, and I’ll have to give it some thought.

    Running the games locally has been a massive experience improvement for couch coop

    Can you explain this one a bit more? Can you connect multiple together, like a WLAN party, or do you mean like playing the same online game together on a couch?

      Wellll you could connect multiple together like a WLAN, but I meant specifically local multiplayer on a single system. Games like KeyWe, It Takes Two, Sackboy big adventure, overcooked, etc is my main use for having my deck docked.

      When streaming games with 4 bluetooth controllers going there was a lot of input delay, that problem has been totally solved by running locally on the deck. Of course I could have probably built a gaming capable HTPC or similar, the deck is just a PC after all.

        Hmm, I had been thinking about building/getting an SFF PC for streaming, but maybe this would be a good option…
