Most things are possible with enough effort but the question is if it would be worth it. You could potentially replace the weight the motor spins with one that's heavier but then you risk burning out the motor and I'm not sure how easy it would be to replace. Adding an additional motor to the back could work. Maybe you could use an Adruino in combination with the Steam Deck's USB C port?
I imagine without a fair amount of effort though you'd lose any kind of feeling of 3D vibration. Depending on where it's mounted as well you might see diminishing returns.
The Deck doesn't use a motor with a weight, it uses a vibration coil built into each touchpad that works more like a speaker. You couldn't just replace the motor or weight.
Ah my bad
