    Could you just pair Nintendo joycons with the Deck? Or maybe the ones that come with that new Lenovo handheld?

      Yes you can, I regularly do this for multiplayer, however the Joycons are

      1. Thinner - much less comfortable. I can only play on the Switch for an hour before my hands are cramping and I don’t have big hands
      2. Don’t attach to the side of the Deck
      3. Won’t charge easily - are there even any ways to charge without owning an entire Switch?
      4. Most importantly, no touchpads, no rear buttons. I use the touchpads more than the sticks so for me, no touchpads = no use

        I also really love the Touchpads, and would love to use the deck (or my pc) on my tv with a controller similar to the steam deck controls, have you found one like that, because I haven’t.

      I’d miss the charging function as you can only charge them on a switch. Also you could never attach them in case you want to handheld it for a bit. Pretty sure you can connect them, as you can use them on PC too.
