Then… Wouldn’t you be better off playing the emulated games on your pc?

I had one of the first Steam Decks and it had two persistent issues that were bothersome, but not to the point of requiring an RMA (left stick occasionally had the cap sense wire in the wrong spot, causing friction and the wifi performance was spotty). If I had one of the latter models without these issues, I wouldn’t have upgraded. There’s nothing wrong with the LCD version, it’s still a great device.
