Yep, the rumble is weak as hell. It's a thing. I don't really care about rumble so it doesn't bother me, but you'll see lots of Reddit posts with people complaining. There are adjustments for haptic strength (the little vibrations when you click in desktop mode) but none for the rumble. I would guess that they're separate vibration motors.
i recall reading somewhere that the rumble on the steam deck is actually the haptic feedback motors and that is why it is weak
Yeah, if you check out the device teardown, the only motors are the touchpad haptic motors. Sure, they work great for subtle haptic feedback, but it's lame that it just doesn't feel anything like a normal controller rumble. It rumbles with half decent intensity during the startup sequence, so I'm not sure why it the haptics don't rumble at 100% in game.
