Like 45° or below. Something that won't break easily or damage the Steam Deck and is not toxic or won't cause cancer somehow

A surprising number of plastic/rubber components used in cheap electronics accessories will offgas. You notice an odd smell, that's literally petrochemicals entering your nostrils by the millions. Some of them can mimic biomolecules like hormones. I'm not saying they're necessarily all harmful but there needs to be a lot more research.

Propublica agrees with you, they've been doing a lot of studies on formaldehyde offgassing.

i have a 7 in 1 usb c hub from anker which is use with the deck and a hdmi monitor the deck lies flat on the table if i use the hub.

I don't know if it's more or less toxic than the dota2 games.

Thanks for the suggestion, however, I'm looking for something to mount the Steam Deck on
