What they're currently working on getting working:
- RGB control still needs to be added to hhd or a dedicated application.
- TDP control might work via OpenGamepadUI overlay mode.
controller support still needs to be added to OpenGamepadUI.
- fan curves and battery control needs to be optimized.
- Audio Equalizer might still need some work to improve audio quality.
- Standby and Sleep needs some work in software and firmware to properly work.
They even noted the gyroscope model as a BOSCH 260, which is already supported.
Most importantly: what about pricing and release date? Well the good news on both is that it's not far away with a Q2 2024 target (April - June), and they say the price is aiming for the lower-end of Steam Deck pricing so it sounds like it's going to be really competitive there.

Not sure how they're planning to compete with the price of the lower end Steam Decks with those specs...

Don't think they can afford to subside the sale if they don't have their own shop. So maybe lower binned parts from AMD?
They have to save money somewhere.
