1080p on such a small screen is pointless, but if you're into that by the price of one Nintendo game you can upgrade your steam deck screen https://www.deckhd.com/

120Hz is not that different from the decks 90Hz screen, although if you chose to do the upgrade above that downgrades you to 60.

Mouse mode, not sure what that is, but the deck has the best of it's kind mouse emulation so I think it will be hard for the switch to compete.

Plus I get to keep my games, and whenever the SD2 comes out I'll get to keep my games and not have to buy them again.

I dunno what y'all are talking about, the Deck chip (Van Gogh, 7nm, Zen 2 but with Rembrandt-era SoC features, RDNA2) is "newer" than the Ampere chip (circa 2020) in the Switch 2.

don't forget mods, easy repair, easy piracy, and actually being a functional portable computer in a pinch if you have a docking station

Hell, at least I can use my steam deck as a mini PC and SSH into the thing, as well as use a mouse and full fuckin keyboard with my cheap off brand dock.

I'm always 2-3 years behind on new consoles for this very reason.

Even the 729$ Legion Go looks like a good deal compared to the Switch 2.

Whenever there's a multiplatform game I'm interested in I add it to my wishlist on the Switch, PS5 and Deck. I almost always end up buying it off Steam because it ends up being cheaper on it. So the Switch and PS5 have been reduced for exclusives only.
