If there's enough interest, I'll edit the build into a tutorial.
14:18 had the same with my jsaux purple back shell, had to use a thinner thermal pad than what it came with and the gap was gone. (Second steam deck revision with the heat sink plate)
Would also be cool if these came with the outer thermal plate like the jsaux
14:50
did he even test the thermals or is he just guessing based on feeling
Now we just need one for rig ally
Never i do this on my steamdeck 😂😂😂😂
This is such a bad idea, track pads look awful and screen is damaged, basically it you want another shell buy an Odin 2 or something else.
Just got done putting a clear transparent shell on my steam deck, from extremerate, it went very well, I’m very happy with the end product. A few notes:
-Extremerate did supply many of their own screws, I literally used none of them, I was able to just reuse all screws from the original steam deck shell
– I did move forward with removing the shell part of the trackpad to replace it with the transparent one, it went well however I wasn’t happy with just the fact that it was just mostly black, so I actually took it back apart, put a vinyl sticker of what the underside of the trackpad looks like, and then replaced the shell, and I can confirm that, although the vinyl is only adhesive on one side, it’s still held together by the plastic clips, and it does not keep my trackpad from working 100% effectively, so I can confirm that you can put a thin layer of something else between the trackpad and the shell, that isn’t the adhesive pad, and it can still work just fine. More importantly instead of just black squares, it looks like actual components under the track pad, even if it is just a sticker, it fits the rest of the look way better.
-I don’t know if this has anything to do with me reusing the original screws, but I found that if you tighten the screws all the way down on the rear cover of the steam deck, pressing firmly on the front of the deck where the steam button and the quick access button are will actually cause the rear button to activate, so I did have to leave the screws slightly less tightened on the back, but as long as you’re not flinging your steam deck around the plastic clips do a pretty good job holding it together.
– and this last note is just a fun one, I was actually able to find transparent joysticks from the same company, they only sold them for PS5 controllers from what I could find, but it works great for steam deck, however the only caveat is that you have to leave the screws slightly loose on the back of the joystick board, or just put some spacers between the board and the shell, because if you tighten them all the way down, I found that the joystick cover will scrape on the underside of the shell, but even if they’re a little loose they work just fine.
I just got the clear shell and I'm not even going to bother swapping out the trackpads. The adhesive prevents you from seeing anything under it anyway and it's virtually the same size as the pad itself so I don't think it's worth the risk nor the effort
no. not even close to worth the effort and risk.
Great video and one I wish I had watched before I installed my case; I agree that the Extremerate tutorial goes too far during disassembly, for me, the right trackpad power wires came out of the tiny plug, so word of warning for others, either take more time removing it using the plug, or leave it connected to the DB! I seem to have lost rumble on that trackpad now, even though I have reconnected the wires.
Liked the to the point nature of the vid, good work mate!
I just swap the backplate and triggers, that's the limit to me
what game is in the background is it necesse?
I think Jsaux has better quality overall
When I do the front shell on mine I'm just going to install a new screen at the same time. Way too much effort for it to look that jank.
Hi there ! 2 answers for you !
First. There is no gap once you close the console, have you pressed hard the metal place against the shell when you screwed ?
Also, the shell is loose for the steam and dots buttons, I kept the original buttons with the crystal shell, there is some play
Did this and now my screen won't turn on. It still works fine when docked though so I guess I'm ordering a new screen. Appreciate this video because it's way better than the official.
Why did you spend 1000$ and 7 months to get a deck?
I really wish this was WAY easier.
This shell compare to Jsaux. Which one more better???
what game is displayed at 12:33
Not worth the damage caused
A full tutorial would be extremely helpful. Great video!
Are we ever gonna get a tutorial?
What can possibly be my issue? I did a screen and shell swap however the sceeen is showing no picture. I see the back light on only.
They should make one for GPD Win 4 and RoG Ally and all other handheld PCs lol
