SteamOS is coming to PC handhelds other than Valve’s own Steam Deck. We heard a short but official confirmation last year, and then Lenovo confirmed a SteamOS-flavored version of its new Legion Go S design at CES 2025. We’ve got a vague idea of
I use a HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless as my personal PC headset, specifically because its battery life is bonkers at 300 hours. But it’s a bit barebones otherwise.
