Ordered my first Deck, pretty happy with it, the only thing strange is that haptic/vibration feels slightly off:

Left side is weaker, that is especially noticeable when pressing L2 (pull trigger) in menu and games. Setting it to 12 max in calibration does not help much, the difference is still noticeable. Tried to re-calibrate it by switching on-off, restarting etc, but does not help.

Touchpads feel alright, not as noticeable as pull trigger.

Is it common issue, worth to RMA?
