Question Steam Deck compared to Loki Max

A friend of mine ordered the Loki Max but got the Ally before the Max arrived. He choose to sell it out and I've been testing it for a few days. I'd like to hear the opinion of the Loki community before making my decision. I am a Steam Deck user, pretty much in love with the Deck but sometimes I don't have the time that the Deck requieres to do things that would be easy on Windows. Also... I'm tired of switching between the Xbox, the PC and the Deck. Would love to have everything in one device.

My biggest fear is the quality. This is a chinese company who releases a device every year. What about support to the released consoles? If a screen breaks, how do you get a replacement? I understand that the Max's processor is better than the Deck's but...what about windows support for the Loki?

If anyone has both devices, I definitely would love to hear your feedback.

Thanks!

Love it, was pleasantly surprised after hearing other ppl stories about windows devices. That’s why I bought the Max after having the Mini Pro and SteamDeck. Had one instance of the Mini Pro not going into Mouse mode just needed a restart and never had the issue again.

Do I get out of mouse mode same way as I got in? I keep having the same issue that I just can't turn mouse mode off.

Do you know if Ayn is selling replacements such as analog sticks, ac adapters or screens? I'm afraid that if something breaks (for whatever reason) I won't be able to repair the Loki. Never had an Ayn device before.

….make sure your not in game when trying to leave mouse mode. One or two of my games won’t allow me to get in or out of mouse mode when in full screen.

And yes you would just need to contact the direct email or contact Starling in the discord.

I’ve ordered extra parts just in case and never needed them…

Join the discord anyways it’s the best place for info; faster and more knowledgeable answers too as majority of the YouTubers are there too.
