Owners Report Valve’s Priciest Steam Deck Model Has A Cracking Problem

Some theorize Valve’s $680 device has overly tight screws, leading to small stress cracks in the plastic

First I’ve heard of this, glad Valve does such a good job with warranty coverage.

Ugh, this is a shame. I loved the translucent consoles and controllers Nintendo did back in the day. This makes me want to learn 3D printing so I can make an atomic purple casing and not make the screws too tight.
