​

When I hold the Steam Deck I often feel it sliding down. When holding an xbox or playstation controller I use my pinky finger to keep the controller in place. The weight of the Steam Deck is heavier and I think this is something that also contributes to this problem.
Another issue I’m having is with the thumb sticks. When playing games where both thumbsticks are constantly needed I feel, after a while that I need effort to keep my thumbs hovering above the thumbsticks, as if they stick out too far…
I do Not have small hands… But I’m looking to hear how others are holding the Steam Deck or if there is a good Ergonomic way to hold it.

    I shift through three methods of holding it; each one distributes the weight a little different.

    Pushing in with my index finger knuckles to hold the weight.

    Resting the weight on my inner palms.

    Then the “double pinky” method.

    I cycle through them regularly and it keeps my hands happy.
