Steam deck stolen by UPS twice. Steam support unhelpful

As much as I love the SD this is such a common problem it’s ridiculous. This could be (mostly) remedied if Valve just didn’t use the most obvious packaging ever.

Valve employees, I know y'all lurk... Please, tell whoever you need to: DO NOT ship the new Steam hardware in shipping boxes that scream what is inside.

In the UK my Steam Deck arrived in a largely ordinary looking cardboard box, except for a Companion Cube themed “This Way Up” sign and small logo next to the handling warnings. Nothing over the top, but enough to alert anyone looking for deliveries to snag. It’s cute, but yeah. Please don’t do this.

Are there any hubs like this for the steam deck? I'm not a fan of the ones with a cable.

I doubt it because it would block your vent exhaust and power/vol buttons. And you also don’t want to risk damaging the USB-C port on steam deck - it’s soldered to the board and not easily replaced

I hope Valve does not change much on Steam Deck 2

if the hardware and development teams at Valve, which gave us the quality of the SD, finds design/ergonomic improvements to make in a SD2... I hope they don't get dissuaded from making those changes from random reddit posts.

Steam Hardware - Steam Controller: It's almost here!

I’m gonna hold off until the Steam Machine releases so I can get them in a bundle. SD is my only device atm so I’m in no rush. But it looks great, the price isn’t good but I personally think it’s fairly expected given the state of things and the quality it seems to display. I can’t be considered a f

Part of my steam deck protruding, help

If you open SteamDeck with SD card inside, it will break in two pieces. (Not my photo, took it from here )

Szerintetek melyik jelenleg a legjobb kézi konzol?

Én tavaly óta használok Decket, nekem nagyon bejött, azóta csak porosodik a PS5. Ha csak ezen tudnál játszani, akkor az újabb AAA játékok kiesnek, de ha van egy PC-d vagy konzolod, tökéletesen kiegészítik egymást. Én azért az SD mellett döntöttem, mert ez adja a legprémiumabb csomagot. A SteamOS bru

Steam Hardware - Steam Controller: It's almost here!

Hmm… PS6 would probs be more powerful and have those exclusives etc… but what I like about Valve and SD is the freedom to alter it as you wish and the PC of it all. At that point I might as well build my own PC. I’d only be getting it because it’s in the Valve ecosystem. The smarter choice would be

How to detect a bloated battery?

Not as common as you seem to think… The large majority of the world has no issues at all. But it usually becomes obvious when the steam deck starts splitting open on its own. No need to be paranoid. Just use the device normally and only check it out (open the device) if you can see physical issues o
