The Steam Deck feels better in my hands than a Nintendo Switch. Its grip is different, but as soon as you get comfortable holding it with your whole hand, including ring and pinky fingers, it feels very natural. It was bigger than I imagined, but not too big, and it felt lighter and more balanced than expected. It's easy to pick up and hold, even one handed. I think they did a great job on the ergonomics. The size was clearly a design decision, and while I don't tend to play games on it for more than 45 minutes at a time, I recently held it up to watch a feature length movie without as much fatigue or difficulty as trying to balance my smartphone.
