I am looking specifically for a single device for travelling with. But the built in controllers of the Steamdeck are just a little too goofy for me to give it much serious consideration.

A tablet form-factor Steamdeck? I'd be sold.

You might think that. But consider that there will likely be fully functional keyboards via those same controllers.

I used mine for travel in business. it performed fine. It was nice to not have have a separate key board (although I did keep one with me).

I doubt I'm going to write much code on a controller I'm afraid.

Thats your business and your use case may differ. My use case is wearing leather jackets with shoulder pads while standing outside isolated telephone booths..

I really think if they keyboard was sufficient it would actually be kindof fun to program this way.
