I’m about to buy a steam deck off Marketplace from a guy who imported it from US. What distuingishing features should I know that it’s original? Aside from the orange power button, I’m not familiar what hardware and software features I should inspect before buying it.

There is no such thing as a fake/counterfeit steam deck. There is, however, such a thing as saying you have a steam deck for sale when you actually don’t, so being able to see it IRL and confirming it looks like a steam deck is enough (preferably turning it on too)
The thumbsticks are different, black instead of white. All the button text is more grey instead of white. Bezels around the screen is smaller. Hex screws instead of philips.
Here’s a hint: it’s in the name. Make sure the screen is OLED.
