They feel really loose, rattly, and mushy. The X button gets stuck very frequently and I can’t tell why. I suspect it’s either that the button is hooking on the frame when fully pressed, or the membrane itself is sticky for some reason and reluctant to pop back out. The B button also makes me worry, but it hasn’t gotten stuck yet.

I’m considering taking the deck apart to look at the buttons from the inside.

With that in mind:

  1. Do other people feel this way about their OLEDs? Is this an issue ore just how the deck is?
  2. If you’ve had this issue as well, how have you dealt with it?
  3. Are the LCD-model teardown tutorials still valid for OLED models?
  4. Do hardware mods exist on the market that might allow me to replace the current buttons with better ones, or possibly to convert to from membrane to dome switches?

Thanks to anyone willing to help.

    The stuck buttons are a defect, Valve will replace the unit if you RMA.

      This is good to know, thank you. I just filed an RMA ticket with steam a few hours ago. Not looking forward to giving up my deck to wait for a replacement if it comes to that, but functioning buttons would certainly be worth it.
