Picked up the Limited Edition OLED and it is awesome. However, someone here brought up a great point about repairability. Has Valve given any indication that repair parts of equal quality/design would be available for the limited edition model?

I understand the concept that it’s limited, but it would suck to suffer cosmetic damage or a dead analog stick with the orange color and not be able to get something to replace it with. Genuinely considering returning it for the plain 1 TB model instead because of this.

    I wouldn’t get rid of my LE on the off chance something might break and I couldn’t find a replacement color matched part. Just enjoy your steam deck.

    For me the LE was a waste of a purchase anyhow, just a see through blackshell and a minor color on the sticks… They should have at least did different colors, but I do not expect them to supply the LE parts on a site, maybe through Valve, otherwise I can just make mine a LE.
