iFixit May Have New Steam Deck Spare Parts

The availability of Steam Deck replacement parts has proven to be a boon to Valve gaming laptop owners, allowing many to replace faulty parts without going through the RMA process. Now it looks like a few more components are on their way from Valve to retail partners like iFixit.

While the iFixit store has a large inventory of Steam Deck parts, it still has some notable omissions. In search of one of these missing components, Reddit user Difficult-Sugar1555 contacted support to see if and when the company would consider offering trackpads to would-be repairers.

In response, iFixit pro account representative Tom Gant said the company was working with Valve “to bring these products to market as soon as possible.” Unfortunately, however, Gantt was unable to provide an ETA for when we can expect the component to hit stores.

According to Gant, the reason Steam Deck trackpads aren’t available is that “they require software calibration (usually done at the factory), which isn’t currently available to end users.”

With the increase in Steam Deck production in recent weeks, the demand for replacement parts could increase significantly, and we hope this will encourage Valve to make trackpads and more available to end users.
