The battery is strongly adhered to the Steam Deck. The adhesive loosens with constant, steady force, and it will require repeated heating and prying cycles.

It’s pretty much the Achilles’ heel of the Steamdeck’s repairability.

Thanks I will definitely check those layouts out. Edit: tried it and works like a charm!

Sleeping Dogs is such a great game on deck. Finished it a few months ago. Highly recommended!

Compared to a switch it’s a bit bigger yes but I’d say it so much more comfortable to hold for longer periods of time compare to a switch.
