This is my situation too! I bought the original LCD one when they were on pre-order, then my right bumper button broke (a common issue with the first models) and I took too long to request the free fix/replacement from Valve.
So my wife encouraged me to just buy one of the new OLED ones that had just released and she'd take my old one.
She hardly games on it anyway, and when she does, I showed her how to remap that bumper button to a different button. Almost no games use the trigger buttons on the underside of the Steam Deck, so those are always available.
I have an original model with a bad right bumper as well. I'm too cheap to buy a new one (or fix it) so I just remap that button. Honestly it's more comfortable to play using the back buttons.
Right? The way I hold controllers, I can barely reach the bumper buttons without shifting my whole hand, so it's much easier to just use those underside buttons.
