Stock cuz I just use the damn thing
But have you considered installing a different OS every day and posting about which one you're going to install next?
Nah but mine is the rare white limited edition one so uhh itβs sorta different

Mine's pretty generic.
I like it!

I like that black and white contrast.

Custom pink translucent buttons, a purple Savage Raven case, and dbrand thumb grips.
OOOOOH LOVE THEM BUTTONS

Pretty basic all things considered, I'm hoping to get new sticks for it once the stock ones go bad
When do the stock ones go bad? I've got 500+ hours of playtime on mine and they still feel like new.
My looks like this, I think it have autism :c

But I still love it :3
Looks slick.
Mine is the stock unit, in a purple snap-on protective case, but the back of the unit (underneath the protective case) has my username permanently etched into the back and the etching filled with enamel paint, just in case I lose it or have to prove it's mine.
This stems from when some jerk tried to steal my childhood Game Boy, but was foiled by the fact that I'd written my name on the unit behind the batteries and thereby proved "their" Game Boy was mine.
That's a good damn idea.
Omg! I never thought about a joystick cap! I tend to be rough with my sticks cause I'm huge and strong and play "rage" games. My center rubber on the left just feel out a little bit ago and a call would be perfect! Thanks dude!
Holy shit I need that pink skin (stop it). Where can I get it?
If i remember correctly its Dbrand
Oh. Nevermind then.
I messaged the person who sold me the steamdeck and they said they got the skin on Etsy.
Thanks
Mine was basic, but well loved and sadly lost to a disaster π’ RIP my deck. Go give your steamdecks a little attention!
Mine looks exactly like it did when it came out of the box. Technically I've added a screen protector/diffusor, as I hate glare on screens, but you can't really tell it's even there. I also swapped the nvme to a buffet one, but obviously that isn't visible either.
Needless to say, I don't care about the looks of my financial things.
The default
Mine has a transparent purple shell swap (I kept the original buttons), and a decksight screen upgrade.
Iβve thought about doing a transparent purple shell swap. Very reminiscent of the old GameBoy Color case.
Yes I love the retro look. I'm happy that transparent electronics are making a bit of a comeback. I'd say it's worth doing, although It was a pretty involved install process. I don't know if I would have done it if I wasn't also replacing the screen at the same time - it's basically a complete teardown.
Please excuse the dirty screen! Atomic Purple case with holographic buttons from deckbuttons.com and accent skins from dbrand. I also usually have the Killswitch case on, but this was taken just after I had completed all the surgery to replace the shell.

Ahh atomic purple. My one true love.

Is that frickin' TempleOS?
The one true deck!

dbrand killswitch with the xray skin. It came with two skins.
Mine looks like this too.
Just the regular black, which is the color of my soul.
how bro felt typing that:


I have a stand for mine so that I don't have to lean it against my cock.
Ooh might have to invest in that, any reccs?
Vanilla. I am going to make it pink some day.
How did you change that screen?
Decky Plugins, Iβd wager.
Not OP, but presumably they used a Decky Plugin called CSS Loader. You can use it to costumize the layout.

Cool.
Iβll have to give it a try.
Thatβs really clean.
Steam Deck is bone stock, unless you look inside and I replaced the hard drive with a higher capacity one.
