Or any problem at all for that matter?
I keep reading about people getting oled decks with hissing/crackling/white noise sound when they plug their headphones, some even have problems on their speakers
This is all making me stressed as a wait for mine to arrive, (my deck is stuck in label created) and now i read about all these problems…
No… you are reading like reports that round down to zero when you look at the install base.
The hardware failure rate for all PCs is somewhere between 0.5% and 3% dead on arrival, with lower priced hardware having higher failure rates, with first run rates being closer to 5%.
I think steam deck rates are much lower than that… more so valve is really great and takes care of the issues via support. So people arent stuck with defects. That is what is really important.
You cant really take the defects out of complex electronics manufacturing.
Let’s say (for maths) that every user in the sub owns a deck and the failure rate is 1%. That would equate to 5260 members with deck issues.
