Not entirely true that every deck is the same.

Outside of storage configurations/screen etching, there are some obvious and less obvious differences:

  1. Delta vs hua Ying fans (didn't check my spelling, sorry)
  2. Some have a reduced number of PCI lanes made available to the NVME storage.
  3. Joysticks we're changed at some point, being coloured black instead of grey.

I'm sure there's more, but that's what I can recall from keeping on top of the news.

Pretty sure 2 was the sad was downgraded as a component to one that supports less lanes, but still supports what the deck supports so it's no performance difference. The other parts were also just pulling similar components from different sources and all hardware makers do it to have continuous supply or reduce production costs.
