Can I use the Steam Deck while charging?
Absolutely, you can use the Steam Deck while it's charging. Think of it as a laptop or smartphone - devices don’t usually take a nap when they're plugged in, right? The same goes for your Steam Deck. It’s designed to keep you gaming or streaming, even when it’s sipping power from the outlet.

Sure, but honestly, might wanna give it breaks. Letting gadgets breathe a bit can't hurt, even if they technically can handle the heat.
Using it while charging? No biggie. It's made for it. Just don't expect to stay super cool during a gaming marathon.
Yeah, you can totally use it while charging, but keep an eye on it getting a bit warm if you're pushing it with some heavy gaming. It's normal but just something to be aware of!
