Early rumors hinted thatit would require a specific SteamVR box to run without needing a PC.
Lynch has posted some unconfirmed, supposedly leaked renders of controllers for the Deckard, codenamed Roy.
They are obviously still in development, and different versions feature hand loops or flat-faced, Quest-like controllers.
In addition, they may have more buttons than a standard VR controller, with an additional d-pad.
If Valve has the hardware (and thats a big if), then the software is left.
Valves Proton compatibility layer already ports games from Windows to Linux with its Proton compatibility layer.
The touchpads eventually made their way to the Steam Deck, where players largely ignored them.
Lynch claimed, based on unknown sources, that Ibex was already gearing up for production.

The Steam Deck design language is entrenched at this point.
Nearly every OEM is working onits own PC handheld, so you shouldnt expect a Steam Deck 2.
Valve told Gizmodo it wouldnt put out a new, refreshed handheld for anothertwo or three years.
