Yeah, Rescuezilla is the “non-keyboard” and “non-mouse” solution.
Battle.net or Steam?
Have you worked with HDR before? Did you calibrate it?
Any means to test it will ruin the surprise. You would have to do a full “set up” including logging into Steam to do anything of real value.
As u/Standard-Rip-6154 said … part of the magic is opening the box … breaking the Valve seal on the case … all that jazz.
Valve will handle any issues. I would, however, offer one recommendation - get the OLED 1TB (non-LE) edition. I know you want to be the top shelf wife and get him the “biggest and the best” but the differences are minimal AND it seems (based on the discussions here) that the LE has the BOE screen and has been far more likely to have dead pixels.
I originally wanted LE - but I went with the non-LE 1TB and I’m still tickled to death.
Good luck with everything!

EmuDeck and all its support files can be transferred fairly easily.
- Move your EmuDeck to Another Deck - Backup Tool Part 1 - Exporting (w/metadata)
- Move your EmuDeck to Another Deck - Backup Tool Part 2 - Importing (w/metadata)

This will take care of you.
This is what I do.
I don’t like Remote Play - and Sunshine is a pain to set up (IMHO). This solution is what I use and like ALL streaming game solutions - it largely depends on your INTERNAL network configuration, quality and infrastructure.
I write this up more here:
Install the launcher as a non-steam game?
TD;DR: If you have a known, specific use case for these products? Use them.
If you don’t? I do not consider them a worthy “just install’em on every new Deck” or “every factory reset”.
Everything you do to your Deck that is not “vanilla” is questionable when things go wrong. When you come asking for help, we don’t know what things you have done to your Deck and you may forget to tell us.
This may put you in the right frame of mind. Disclaimer - my video.
Yes. Takes a bit of work though.
I’m actually working on a video for just this use case.
Swap or clone. Pretty much your options.
The non LE one is the same exactly startup as the LCD except the dot in the middle is orange instead of blue. “Exclusive”? Eh … palette swap …
Artwork on the Deck is kinda nasty. There are many places it is stored. I once tried to figure out how to manually set them all by location - and it didn’t work out.
If someone figures out how - I’ll do the guide.
This has been a very common request on Reddit - how can I move Decky Loader, all plugins and all plugin data to another Steam Deck (like if you bought an OLED unit and want your LCD plugins/data on the new one). Should take you less than five minutes.
Yeah me too. I was freaking out.
Strange. I’ll make a note …
