I'd buy a new Steam Deck. My wishlist is: more seamless docking experience, eGPU support, slightly more comfortable/grippy back buttons, less mushy Steam/QAM buttons, OLED screen.
Seamless docking would be ideal, but I'd hate to have to use a proprietary POGO connection. Just fixing the proprietary dock so I don't have to power cycle it so often would also be nice :/
I think adding a second USB C port on the bottom would solve that, as well as other gripes. You would still have a "more seamless docking experience" because you can just set the device in the dock on the upward-facing USB C interface (like a Switch), as opposed to the current method of setting it in the dock and then plugging in a cable with a separate action. Then you would also have a second USB port (no longer requiring the use of a hub in some situations) and using a USB port on the bottom is oftentimes better than on the top.
