Anything is built better than joy-cons. A metal rod rubbing on a piece of graphite is just such bad design, but I get why they did it, it lets them really slim down the sticks without over complicating it.
You can replace steam deck sticks without desoldering, though the capacitive touch function I think is a soldered wire if I remember correctly.
Ah, OK, thanks for explaining. Yeah that doesn't sound so bad. I'm so fucking annoyed repairing my gaming electronics and electronics in general so any design that limits me having to take stuff apart to clean it, replace capacitors, desolder CMOS batteries, replace parts, etc. is what I want in life.
