I have got my OLED Steamdeck today and made a picture with my old one side by side. The display is a little bit bigger, the touch screen is way better (more like a smartphone).

As an avid nighttime gamer, I wish they added lights to the controller/navigation buttons on the new version.
Why? Your fingers are on top of them, and games often show you the button placement, shape, or both, and some even point to it during tutorials or idle moments.
And who looks at their own buttons anyway? Lemme ask a quick question: Can you type on a physical keyboard in the darkness? That is far more complicated (though most of us don’t even think about it), but nobody gets caught looking at their keyboard, unless it’s a meme.
Not to mention the extra lighting would just take away from the gameplay.
It was a missed opportunity for RGB lighting, not necessary but would be very nice to have.
Screw RGB.
just cause you don't like it doesn't mean it couldn't be there
I swear I saw somewhere those adhesive low light stickers you could probably use as a stopgap. That or 3D printing caps and sticks with fluorescent plastic.
