      Same. It’s why I went with the Teardown skin by dbrand. Get that see through look but with an adhesive skin instead. I’ve been very pleased with it.

    Damn, maybe I won’t do a shell swap. I really wanted to do one but no way i could set aside 5 hours to get that done.

      Its a fun project to do on a slow weekend! You may be able to find someone to do it for you as well.

        I’m not sure they’d be comfortable servicing it with aftermarket parts. Some manufacturers that allow customization will tell you to undo the mods before sending it in for repair.

      Lose the soda, man, and clean her up with a little rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab.

        Huh? Sorry dude I’m an adult; I don’t drink soda near electronics. My Deck has had a screen protector and protective case since day 1. I baby my tech. Pretty sure my A button is either defective or prematurely wearing out.

          My first steam deck that I returned due to screen bubbles had a sticky B button out of the box. My replacement has a creaky left trigger. Can’t win.

            F

            In my searching for other people with a sticky A button, the sticky B button is all I could find. Pretty sure I’m going to have to send mine in for repair.

      I did think about doing that but I didnt think it would look too good. The company I got it from has button replacements and im thinking of going with a solid light green or “matcha” green

    I was very careful doing mine, but the real things to watch out for (more than the LCD screen) are the touchpads. Those things can’t be recalibrated, and there are no replacements. You can adjust the sensitivity everywhere but in desktop mode, but it makes the keyboard damn near impossible to use. Again, I barely touched them and had no issues reconnecting them, but when I got everything back together they were way too sensitive.

      Thats not a bad idea especially because there is a risk of damaging the screen when taking it apart

    Is it actually green? Different pictures make it look more teal or bluish. I wish it was closer to a jungle green. I’d love to do a shell swap but I’m Leary about removing the screen.

    I’m kind of annoyed JSAUX made a green back shell but still haven’t made a front shell to match.

    I’ve got a green backed Steam Deck just begging for a green front.
