Received my 1TB OLED Steam Deck today but it appears I have a faulty left trackpad haptic as the left feedback is very noisy where as the right side is silent, even with the left on the lowest haptic feedback setting of 1db and the right on a max of 12db, the left is still noisy. It’s so bad I had to disable the haptic feedback. Never had this issue on the original deck.
It’s as if the left trackpad is vibrating against the shell. Even when you pull the trigger you get a noisy audible ping sound each time it triggers the left trackpad haptic, the right side is just fine and very silent. Hope Valves RMA is quick.
I tried opening mine up as some posts from way back mentioned similar problems. I did as suggested by lossening the screws a bit on the board but It didn’t really help. I definately think it’s hardware related as mine has a stronger right haptic but it also double clicks unintentionaly, the left has an annoying rattle.
I was really happy with my deck before coming across this problem and now it’s kinda put me off having it if I can’t fix it.
