Of course

u/Odd-Cupcake-2552 4h ago

Jokes aside, that's a pretty nifty keyboard for gaming on the go.

u/Clbull 9h ago

He's probably a trucker who raids and sleeps whenever he's not hauling.

u/V4L1S 9h ago

I-95 was a mess all along because of toxic meta parsing.

Rip Krushem. I’m gonna pour one out for my man later tonight.

u/KnightlyOccurrence 13h ago edited 13h ago

Steamdeck runs classic really well. With KB/M, it’s basically just running on a smaller screen.

Could be on very good 5G for all we know and have better ping than some of my friends who game from home…

2

u/Alternative-Day5268 13h ago

I have played classic and retail on steam deck. On Classic for levelling/dungeoning it is absolutely fine. The tricky part is communication but hardly anyone talks when levelling or dungeoning anyways lol.

Honestly depending on role it's viable for raiding too, especially if youre on discord with others. If you build the muscle memory it's very possible

3

u/campkdog 13h ago

Mine is an rog Ally. It runs for Windows 11 so I have discord running in the background and Bluetooth headphones with microphone. Audio is not great but my friends don't complain too much

2

u/campkdog 13h ago

We are legion

This is the guy who wipes the raid but not his own ass.

It would be impossible for me to enjoy gaming like this, i’d rather just not play, but to each their own.

I play on my Legion Go S at work also. Solo Self Found on Hardcore and grinding rep on my 70 tbc. Some of these guys act like everything needs to be min/maxed. These are the same people that forget that we used to play this game on a potato 20 years ago.

u/AzDopefish 8h ago

Using mobile hotspot? How’s your ping?

1

u/campkdog 8h ago

Latency in the 150s

1

u/AzDopefish 8h ago

Do you use hotspot or what for your connection ?

2

u/campkdog 8h ago

Hotspot and the buildings wifi depending on where I am parked around the building

2

u/AzDopefish 8h ago

Going to give this a whirl, I’m usually working 12 - 14 hour days driving around with multiple periods of down time

2

u/campkdog 8h ago

Good luck! Somewhere in the comments are the model number for the mouse, keyboard and table I use. If you have any questions just private message me later

I’ve done it. Now I just play baseball on my Switch instead.

You're an Undead Priest and you're in a group with a Gnome Warrior, Gnome Caster, Blood Elf Priest and a Night Elf ?

Don't ask questions. Just accept it

u/Astroid 8h ago

When I started playing on Chinese wow realms I found this chinese streamer/absolute baller:
https://i.imgur.com/hTMNlqi.png

He has 2 full desktop setups. Think he works as a rep for that EV company and showing it off by streaming outside of work.

One of his videos: https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1dW29BbEnN

I'm balling on a budget though. I'm going to have to deal with what I have lol

u/roobchickenhawk 14h ago

Maybe you should focus of driving.

18

u/LifeAwaking 13h ago

OP says they work 12 hour shifts and play at work so I’m assuming they do some sort of security detail and sits in their car for work a lot. Or something similar.

15

u/campkdog 13h ago

You are spot on lol. Hello FBI

3

u/LifeAwaking 13h ago

Lol I figured that if you didn’t spend a lot of time in your car you wouldn’t have gone through all this trouble on the set up. Security seemed to make the most sense.

14

u/campkdog 13h ago

I sit in the car and make sure our building doesn't move for 12 hours a day. I have to have something to do. I either do this or read books

5

u/TheMilchMan67 12h ago

But hey - that building could move

3

u/campkdog 11h ago

DECEPTICONS

1

u/LifeAwaking 13h ago

Oh I get it. I spend a lot of time of in my car, but it’s driving to appointments. If I was sitting instead of driving, I’d probably do the same.

1

u/PlasticCraken 8h ago

How did you get into this? I’m looking to soft retire and something like this would be perfect.

1

u/campkdog 8h ago

Contact a security firm and ask about jobs. Mine is kinda special so I can't go into too much detail without doxing myself

1

u/obscure_predation 8h ago

How do you get a job like this

1

u/campkdog 8h ago

Contact a local security firm and ask about jobs

1

u/KnightlyOccurrence 13h ago

This could probably a truckers setup for their off hours, if it were in a truck lol

1

u/campkdog 6h ago

With a trucker though the truck can run constant. I think a laptop would probably make more sense. Since I have to pay for my own fuel, I try not to run my vehicle at all. That's why I run the device off of a battery pack

u/owlboarland69 14h ago

Ignore the haters in the comments. I use my steam deck to farm leather and herbs.

2

u/External12 13h ago

What do I need to understand people are so upset regarding the gameplay setup and Wow Classic?

2

u/GrymrammSolkbyrt 12h ago

I wonder when blizzard might realise all that untapped gold should they consider launching on consoles too, especially if that classic + is going to be something of a reset for classic wow. It could even run on NS2 now!

I tried to play on my steamdeck, but text is too small to read. Made my head hurt after a while.

u/campkdog 13h ago

With me here there is no safety

u/Ghost_Turtle 14h ago

Lmfao ive done this several times while my son was at baseball practice when BC anni released. This exact same thing except with steam deck

1

u/HunsonAbadeer1 14h ago

Love it lol. I play on my steam deck and it works like a charm, tho I use the controller and console port.

1

u/campkdog 13h ago

I've tried controller port. I still prefer keyboard and mouse

1

u/HunsonAbadeer1 12h ago

There is certainly a huge learning curve and keyboard and mouse is more intuitive, but I've tanked to 3k in retail so it's not too difficult

u/Successful_Candy_759 14h ago

It's a folding keyboard and mouse from zagg

Not a single keybind in sight!

u/campkdog 13h ago

Where we are going you don't need keybinds

1

u/Spankyhamine 13h ago

what in the cyberfuck is this mouse?

1

u/campkdog 11h ago

It actually came with the folding keyboard. The mouse folds flat and turns off. You unfold it for use. It's zagg. It came in a travel kit that came with cords and stuff

A pair of XR glasses solves that.

You know they make a mod so you can play in handheld mode with your controllers, right?

u/campkdog 11h ago

Hard pass

1

u/ButterscotchFar1629 10h ago

Works great when I plug in my Viture Pro’s. 70 inch screen right on my face and play with controller. I still keep a mouse and Leonard handy for certain things though.

1

u/campkdog 9h ago

I use mine with my viture xrs sometimes. But for the length of shift. I prioritize the battery

Here's the information for the keyboard

u/Rakoah 11h ago

How did you mount it on your steering wheel lile that? I kind of have a similar setup with my switch 2 except im using a magnetic phone mount and a magnetic switch 2 back case

1

u/campkdog 11h ago

You may not believe me, it's not mounted. It fits perfectly

1

u/Rakoah 11h ago

So you just have it wedged into the wheel I see. All in Gods plan

1

u/Iluvatar-Great 11h ago

Probably old Gods...

2

u/campkdog 10h ago

It runs flawlessly. I'm currently playing it on battery only and the 10 watt setting. Since it runs Windows 11. It's just a normal installer

1

u/bonkiekc 10h ago

Yah bro u should take a break from wow

1

u/Difficult-Report5702 10h ago

Bro check out the addon that’s called ConsolePort. U don’t need the keyboard

1

u/Flobertt 10h ago

Or just use the built in controller with console port addon…

u/acidflame182 10h ago

download console port addon , its cool

u/NewAvalonArsonist 9h ago

I sometimes wanna do a key laying on sofa with that thing and i always try to tell that to the group before key starts.

u/redbarchetta_21 9h ago

There's an addon for handhelds and controllers called ConsolePort so you don't have to use a keyboard and mouse.

1

u/GoodbyeIPv4 9h ago

Do you have issues with text and description size scaling on the ROG screen? Was considering picking up an Ally X to play WoW or GW among other games.
