Touching mine right now, it's not that hot for me... Ask valve to swap you out a new one, I would NOT risk it.

I might be able to measure it if I don't forget

Mine doesn’t even feel warm, it’s basically room temperature. I would be very concerned with it if it continues to do that.

well it heats up when you pull 25-45w out of it, just like all power bricks. the question is how high is the temperature.

Maybe I am wrong but I am assuming he is taking about the USB C tip and not the brick itself

well lets wait for OP to clarify it

Not the steam deck the actual adapter that plugs in got really hot on first charge

This is normal, AC adapters get hot.
