I just remember the original SteamDeck Killswitch case had the kickstand connect with a magnet, and the magnet was fucking with the ball-bearings in the internal fans and harming the longevity of the system fans for the SteamDeck and after they had already released it they had to completely redesign it with a physical latch instead of a magnet.
I mean that seems like such an obvious and short-sighted thing that they failed to even consider.

To be fair, according to them there were two Steam Deck fan variants and they only had units which were unaffected for testing.
