Steam Deck Button Daughterboard
The shoulder buttons rely on a right-angle tactile switch soldered to a small PCB. Under repeated stress, the mechanical 'hammer' of the bumper can cause the switch housing to shift or the internal metal dome to fatigue, resulting in a lack of electrical contact. Replacing the entire daughterboard restores the electrical path and tactile response without requiring precision microsoldering.

Right-Angle Tactile Microswitch
This is the discrete electronic component that facilitates the signal. It typically fails when the internal spring-metal dome collapses or when the solder pads are sheared from the PCB due to lateral impact. Replacing just the switch is the most granular fix for the specific mechanical failure within the assembly.

Shoulder Button Bumper Assembly
In some instances, the plastic 'hammer' that bridges the gap between the external button and the internal switch can wear down or fracture. This increases the required travel distance for actuation, making the button feel unresponsive even if the switch is electrically functional.
