I put hall effect joy stick in mine because I like modding my stuff while my gf has the stock joy sticks. Honestly, I don't notice a difference but we play mostly RPGs and side scrollers maybe fps are different.

If I was in that situation I would buy the base model steam Deck and the largest SD card I could afford. After the SD card fills up I would do an upgrade like this.

I think upgrading the SSD and installing a new OS is pretty easy but I do remember as a beginner opening any clamshell being nerve-wracking. Approach it like you're developing a new skill and you'll do fine.

I didn't know this, and I just checked. I used AliExpress, I'll edit my comment.

You can get them on AliExpress for ~250 but then it takes 6-12weeks to ship and it's AliExpress.

That's what I did and to me it feels like it also runs hotter than the stock 512gb drive

Edit: changed Alibaba to AliExpress. Also looks like they're $215 on AliExpress now.
