Those Touchpads look awkwardly small, besides that though it sounds interesting. I wonder if it will be compatible with Steam OS since it seems like valve is pushing to support the competition with it
The Steam Deck was literally designed as a proof of concept to try and bootstrap the industry. This device is not competition, this device is exactly what Valve are hoping for, and obviously many others like it. Valve want to sell games and so therefore they want hardware manufacturers to create more devices that they can sell more games on. They also want to do it free of Microsoft's tendrils and their control.
