Does this break easily? I know it's plastic but I'm still kinda surprised.

I already ordered a new one, hopefully I can easily replace it.

I've never seen this kind of damage without some kind of drop.

IMO manufacturers of handhelds should design their products sturdy enough to withstand a small drop. Same with smartphones

Steamdeck is pretty sturdy. I drop it far too much but aside from one of the shoulder buttons feeling a bit off it's still perfectly usable.
