The support is top notch too. I was an earlier adopter, and the original mount has a tendency to go soft after a while and droop. They sold an upgrade kit for just the cost of parts and it was easy to install. I also had a clip fail a year after purchase, and they sent a replacement free of charge after contacting them.
I've since bought a second for my partner. My know complaint is that the Lenovo Legion Go mount isn't as sturdy as the Steam Deck mount (single vertical clasp versus x-shaped), and if not positioned perfectly on the Lenovo it can obstruct the ventilation. I used some heat tape to secure it in place, but I wish it wasn't necessary.
