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

Are you putting the dock in your mouth?

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.
