Does a Steam Deck withstand a fall in the bathtub?

Player action prevented soap and water from ruining Valve's wearable

Owning a handheld video game console can be a boon regarding portability and convenience, but how durable can they be? Surely, at least with the Nintendo Switch console, few would dare to bring it without a case or any type of protection due to scratches on the screen or the danger of a blow that could break it.

It's great that the same portability of these consoles allows us to play on planes, other houses, waiting rooms, or... bathtubs? Well, many of us would not dare to do so because it sounds highly risky; however, this was not what a Reddit user thought, since he decided to take a bubble bath and relax while playing with his Steam Deck.

That's right, perhaps because of the movies or series where we can see that people read, watch TV, listen to music or play video games while they are in the bathtub, it makes us think that it is attractive and that everything will be fine, but in this case, it was not like that.

This user, while enjoying a relaxing bubble bath and playing with his Steam Deck, made a bad move causing the console to fall into the water with soap and foam, he immediately took it out, turned it off, and surely began to pray at that moment while imagining the worst.

Fortunately, the user remembered that even when it comes to technology and how delicate it can be, isopropyl alcohol can prevent soap and water from causing short circuits and slowing down the progress of damage. Hence, he decided to open the Steam Deck, disassemble it, and clean each of its parts.

Once clean, he put all the pieces in place, put the console back together, and pressed the power button, where for him it was surely the moment of greatest suspense, and fortunately, the console turned on, without any problem, demonstrating how powerful and resistant What is it.
