I completely understand why Valve decided that the touchpad haptics were good enough, the deck is heavy as it is already. I'd still love to have the option of adding some proper rumble on the deck for the games that deserve it.

Haptics feel like enough, because proper rumble motors take a lot of space, spend more battery, and actually shake the whole device which is not desirable in a handheld device
