I’ve been waiting for this for a while now. Planning on opening my 512GB Steam Deck to do the following upgrades in one sitting: - 2TB SSD - GuliKit Hall Effect Joysticks upgrade - JSAUX transparent backplate with new cooling solution + new back buttons I think all three of these will seriously improve my Steam Deck experience which is already amazing. It’s my favorite gadget and really helps me blow through my years long Steam backlog.

I wish someone would make.. I don’t know what to call them, ‘low profile slide’ sticks for the Steam Deck. I vaguely remember using a device with them in the past. Instead of being a joystick that you angle, it’s a stick that you ‘slide’ around in the joystick hole. Way more comfortable for a mobile device IMO.

  Was it the 3DS perhaps?

    Yep, Nintendo called them circle pads.

  I remember Sony made a smartphone with those once. Man I remember really wanting that one.

Also I’m hoping someone does a OLED mod some day but I’ve learned that the screen size/resolution isn’t common so might not be possible.

  I wonder if Valve are selling enough units that they could order a custom display for an upgraded model. It’ll be interesting to see if they make any attempt at compat with a presumed future Steam Deck 2.

  Given that Valve published the CAD of the case, there might be the possibility of a different screen size that simply comes with a different top shell as well.

I'd recommend doing some research before committing to this. > GuliKit Hall Effect Joysticks upgrade I've seen reports of these having issues with the range. Users are reporting the JS maxes out at about 30% of travel. Other users claim it's "worth it" not to worry about drift. > JSAUX transparent backplate with new cooling solution + new back buttons I've seen concerns that the backplate solution may expose other components to higher thermal stress at the expense of improving SOC cooling.

  The sticks take some calibration to work properly. I enjoy the small deadzones compares to stock.

    I read you can't calibrate out the sensitivity... It's a voltage issue. They are too hot for the steamdeck to read properly.

same, but I want one of the upcoming colored transparent backplates, the purple one looks great.

  In just the last few hours the store page has updated to say the colored backplates will be on sale on the 15th: https://jsaux.com/products/transparent-back-plate-for-steam-deck-pc0106?variant=43781193236700 https://jsaux.com/products/transparent-back-plate-for-steam-...
