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.

No matter how you play it, its a great game. I have been playing it since it first arrived on steam and have watched it evolve through out the years. Great dev and community.

I would reinstall the OS and see, how hard do you use the deck to cause the thumbgrips to fall off?

I hate posts like this… you do you… but remember there is a return policy of 14 days.

It affected a largely minor percentage of the users and it happens, remember its a PC not a closed garden console. Who knows what was installed that contributed to the issue.

Apparently you are not aware of the 30 times in the past year or two windows 11/10 had update errors for all kinds of stuff for users…

non issue for almost everyone, but you play star citizen so I already question your judgement.

Mine has a error when entering the system, it is non interactive and all I can do is choose reboot as the other options in settings are hidden behind it.

I use bacotera and on a seperate 1tb SD card, boot off it and keeps emu seperate from Steamdeck games, works greaat.

No, but I did buy a smaller handheld for some retro games to make it easier to some specific ones and arcade vertical games.
