With the Steam Deck in the hands of influencers, iFixit did what it does best and tore the Steam Deck down. Here are some of the surprising things it found.
Right to Repair fans, you’re in luck, because the Steam Deck is pretty easy to fix according to iFixit’s teardown.
Of note is just how simple it is to swap out the thumbsticks. Drifting is a major problem on pretty much every controller in this console generation, most notably on the Nintendo Switch. Valve made it simple by letting users easily disconnect the entire thumbtack module for easy replacement. Not everything is easy to remove, though. The trigger buttons require a bit more manhandling to remove. The battery is the real problem, though. It is tucked awkwardly into the frame and held down with lots of adhesive. That’s obnoxious, considering battery replacement will likely be the most common type of repair on a device like this.
