From my knowledge, it’s kinda the opposite - when a device first runs out of battery, it’s almost always the case that only one of the batteries is truly dead. So if you find that one dead battery and swap it out, you’ll be good again for a surprisingly long while
Plenty of comments have already addressed the touchpads. But the other thing that only the steam deck does right now, is the symmetrical joysticks at the top of the device. Personally, I find having the right joystick farther down on a heavy handheld absolutely brutal for ergonomics, and it’s the reason I never touch my Switch Lite
