I have a steam deck that works great…. Except all the buttons besides power.

I did the RMA thing and they were nice, but be it price or availability, they weren’t replacing the PCBs behind the buttons.

I didn’t see how much hardware the two versions share. If it’s a lot, simply having more decks made would probably make the “for parts” market softer. Besides that I have no clue!

Also, I saw they are phasing out the smallest and largest ssd sizes, and wonder if we would expect that to cause an influx of 256gb drives people are pulling out. Once again no clue!

Thoughts?

    You are the bearer of bad news but i forgive you. thanks! At the very least, the price of the OG just dropped, and the trend may continue.

    Tbh I’m not mad at my “steamdeck/homedeck” system, but I still really want to crack that puppy open for the glory. Also generally, the repairability, and the collab w ifixit, really endeared me to the thing early, so I was bummed about the limits of that.
