First I heard of this.

Apparently it's a meme and Zoomers are huffing their Steam Deck exhaust. Hmm.

From the descriptions I've read the smell is similar or identical.

Maybe they use the same magic ooze.

Not just Zoomers. I'm nearly 40 and also thought it smelled weirdly good. Though there's a difference between the original LCD and OLED models, with the latter's smell being much weaker and more like generic plastic off-gassing.

  • Confirmed: Gen1 LCD smelled about the same as the gen2 LCD units, but the OLED version doesn't smell as strong/good. I still huff it. I'm also over 40.
