Valve gave the example of Steam Deck users using the component checker when they want to manage their own replacements, or repairs, for components such as thumbsticks. Sounds a bit fiddly. The component list won’t update if you change parts, and strictly reflects what was popped in when the Deck was originally put together. Valve also noted that current models of Steam Deck should be quieter than earlier versions thanks to an “engineered foam solution” on the backplate.
