Dual Pads - check
Ergo bumps on back of case - check
Not Intel - check
Symmetrical Sticks - check... but not like this - the center of gravity will still be out of whack and you'll get sore wrists after a while. They need to be up top, like the WiiU Gamepad and SteamDeck. (somehow Nintendo got worse between WiiU > Switch, Switch is terrible for ergo all round)
Call me crazy but the Deck isn't ergonomic at all for me and I get some very bad tingling in my right hand if I need to use the track pad.
Steamdeck isn't a perfect example either, but it's better than here.
For a sticks-only (+ touch on the screen) setup, WiiU Gamepad is still the golden standard, centre of gravity is just right, stick placement is natural for the holding position with the grips, even the dpad and face buttons are comfortable.
