    TLDW: Someone supposedly sold a prototype steam deck on eBay. The buttons are a bit different than what we have. It is NOT a prototype for an SD2, unfortunately

      I doubt that it is a prototype, but simply a prototype-style case. Considering all the fake hardware being sold on eBay.

        I read one line of a news article that talked about the buttons being flat on the back, instead of the raised version we ended up with.

        Signs point towards not being a case unless it’s on there reeeeally right tight

          Now I have skipped through the video. Nice on eBay next to auction already times a fixed amount to choose from, that should already make skeptical. Then also color deviations from the prototypes shown. But above all, only pictures of the visuals. No device switched on and no display of hardware information. We live in a time where all hardware is also counterfeited and, in addition to the bad counterfeits, good quality counterfeits also appear and even manufacturers demand to recognize the counterfeits.

          So something as extremely simple as a case is really no problem at all, even if it is of the same quality.

          So as long as no information is provided by the seller to verify it, I wouldn’t give a damn.
