    Can the Stream Deck be used with other VR systems? I’d just assume not so I’d never looked at it for that.

      It‘s possible to use VR headsets with the Steam Deck. It‘s just far too weak for a pleasant experience.

      It‘s worth noting though, that, according to this interview (37:30), Valve is probably working on a new VR HMD which will make use of the things they‘ve learned from developing the Deck. So I‘d guess there‘s a standalone headset coming from them at some point in the future.

        I’ve been hoping valve would make a competitor to the Quest sans the Facebook stank

        Wonder if that strictly means lessons learned in development, or if it hints at onboard processing like a Quest. I’ve been more impressed with smaller headsets like bigscreen than standalone units lately

          This is very speculative, but along the things they’ve learned for VR they‘re mentioning APUs and wireless streaming. This might hint towards a standalone device which can also be connected to a PC.
