I love my Steam deck, I love customizing my steam deck. But the Steam Deck is legitmately one of the most difficult and headache inducing handhelds I've ever shelled swapped. But! I'm going to show you how to take apart your steam deck, and completely change the color using Extremerate's shell swap kit. I got mine in translucent purple and it looks incredible. :)

    Pro tip: IPA is best for removing adhesive in general, not just for tech repair reasons. Like, when you have sticker residue on something in your house, or just about any situation where you have adhesive on something you want clean. Just dab some on and wait a minute or two. Then scrape it off with ease! Side Pro tip, adhesive likes to be removed by itself. Meaning, use the adhesive you removed to get the remaining adhesive off. It sticks to itself.

    I successfully did this shell swap 3 days ago. Even the same color. Before this I'd done a shell swap on my PSP-2000 which is cake work by comparison, and a motherboard replacement on my PS-Vita. Removing the screen on the deck was nerve racking as I'd never removed a glued in screen before.

    i spent $60 on a nitro deck from limited run. Plays just fine on COD ghosts with Mayflash Magic S controller adapter. works in wired mode. I do hate the out of box ergonomics but after turning OFF the ZL & L... and flipping ZR & R it gives a hand position that allows placing finger-tip, ...well, thumb-tip on the right and left Sticks. and there I can really feel the accurate hall effect thumb sticks take effect. it's fast accurate but does leave my palm hovering far away. a grip for this position is so worth the buy when one comes along. ideally i'd like some support from crkd provide a sale on grips whether they screw in or what just offer it. your customers demand customer care. especially with the no return policy. we so close to it being so comfortable for hours on end. come-on.

    Would you say that leaving those 6 screws at the front affect the deck if left out? It seems like it would be nice not to have to take off the screen if you wanted to swap out screens. For example if ppl got that deck HD and set it on another shell:) it would be a matter of taking off the 4 screws on the back of the frame:)

    You could probably leave those screws out because the inner RF shield / frame is connected to the shell at other points but based on the shell swaps I've done, it doesn't make screen replacement easier.
