I saw this post and wanted to ask the opposite. What are some items that really aren't worth paying the expensive version for? Preferably more extreme or unexpected examples.

USB is a nightmare.

I only realized recently that my steam deck wasn't charging as well with any old wire. And that's when I learned that different wires and adapters have power limits.

I'm not a expert at these things though.

The steam deck won't pull past 3A anyway (all usb C cables are rated for 3A), so unless you're using a USB-A to C cable, you should be getting full speed, unless the cable is damaged.
