As you can see in the top right, when the LE is plugged in while playing in a dark room, there’s quite a bit of light shining through the front of the translucent shell (brighter and more distracting than this photo really illustrates). Didn’t think about the possibility because it was never an issue with the opaque standard shell, as the light only shines through the top side of the shell, which you weren’t looking at.

Would be nice to see a toggle to disable that light when playing (can tell if charging or not via the display anyway in that case). Until then I guess the only reasonable fix is to not play while plugged in (or electrical tape, lol).

    Honestly, people in this sub have posted results of their launch day steamdecks battery after tons of usage, it’s it’s barely degraded. Plus, valve used a lot less glue for the battery, so it would be an easy swap if the battery started to degrade, we are talking years of heavy use.
