I mostly use my steamdeck either docked or use sunshine to cast it onto a TV to play splitscreen multi-player PC games at friends houses. I very rarely ever use handheld mode. Is there a better option for this use case at this price point or is the steamdeck king for the money.
Edit: Please disregard, I had the streaming part the other way around :)
~~If you’re just mainly streaming using moonlight (or steam streaming for that matter): Look for a (used) Xiaomi Mi Box. It’s an AndroidTV Box, around 50$. You can install normal Android Apps (either by store or via sideloading).
I have the SteamLink App installed on it but I imagine the Moonlight Streaming client would work without issues as well.
It has bluetooth to connect controllers to. 1080p at 60Hz is easily doable. The device itself supports 4k but I never tried streaming at that resolution.~~
