Do you maybe have background downloads enabled and something is downloading while you’re playing?

It looks to be based on the classic Steam color scheme you can set for the Deck’s virtual keyboard. Might be custom made.

That’s incorrect. There is also a non LE model with 1TB.

I thought I had that as well, but after it happened a few times I realised it wasn’t the haptics at all, but the sound the fan makes when it turns on. Sounds very similar though, so maybe that’s also what it is in your case.

Got mine a few hours ago. The screen is gorgeous, obviously. Some other thoughts (and nitpicks):

I underestimated how much difference the touchscreen polling rate makes. I always thought the Deck’s touchscreen was kinda meh due to software, but it’s so much more responsive now. Might actually be a good device to play Osu now.

Most of the buttons feel slightly improved. The exceptions are the dpad and the back buttons. Both of those feel a bit stiff compared to the LCD. Maybe that’ll improve with use over time though.

The fan is awesome, barely audible. I had the loud/whiny type of fan before, so the difference is huge.

Speakers, unfortunately, sound worse to me. The sound curve might well be more flat and accurate, but that makes them sound a bit hollow and less punchy than the OG in my opinion.

Ordered 20 minutes in on the 16th, finally out for delivery now. Will be watching the street like a hawk, making sure GLS doesn’t screw up the delivery.

Can you open the Steam Client in Desktop mode? Maybe try switching to a different channel, like the beta channel there.

I’d say the evidence is right here in this thread. As far as I can see, nobody with a Samsung panels reported dead pixels so far. Meanwhile, I’d estimate a good 30% or so of people in this thread with BOE panels did.

Congrats, now you get to watch the tracking number doing nothing at all for the next few days. :p At least that’s how it’s been for me, since tuesday it says “The parcel data was entered into the GLS IT system; the parcel was not yet handed over to GLS.”.

At least you have a shipping label, I’m still at packaged.
