I just received my OLED Steamdeck and the haptics are a lot different to my two LCD models.

One odd thing is that the left trackpad feels/sounds a lot different to the right trackpad. Higher pitched I guess.

Does anyone else have this?

    Yes I have the same problem. I’ve seen older posts suggesting to open it up and losen the screws on the trackpad, supposedly this fixes the problem. Having some experience building a pc and opening laptops I opened it up. I removed the battery connection then ribbon cables and lossened the screws slightly as instructed just to find the problem is still there has really bummed me out.

    Either i’m not loosening them enough or it’s something else.

        I’d do the same thing but I’d be so annoyed if the new one came after waiting another week (or longer) and it had the same problem or worse and i’ll just feel like i’ve wasted my time. I get the feeling there are probably a lot of units out there with the same problem it’s just people don’t notice it until they’re told. I didn’t until I played with the settings.

        I’ve just done the same, after reading all the reddit threads.
        My left trackpad was also making noise when I was using the touch screen keyboard.
        Fingers crossed we don’t get duds again…
