that looks really good!
how much work/how difficult was it?
took me about three hours, make sure to look at a couple dfferent tutorials. some tell you to remove the motherboard and heatsink, but you can leave a lot of stuff connected to the middle frame. as for screen removal, i bought the ifixit iopener and followed their guide when i got to that section.
jsaux makes the best tutorial, but watching multiple still helped and this wasn’t the jsaux kit so some of the steps were different.
good luck if you attempt it, if you are patient and take your time you should do fine

Looks amazing! I’d love to do a case mod but after the disaster or a job I did on my Switch I don’t think I could put my Deck through the same 😅

Approximately how much time did it take?
about three hours, but i took some breaks. someone with lots of experience could probably do it in an hour or less.

Looks awesome! I swear, modding the Steam Deck is my kryptonite lol.

I spend more time looking at steam deck hacks and mods than actually playing on that thing!!!

So pretty 🥰
I’ve seen dbrand is making faux transparent skins for ps5. I would love real blue transparent case for XSX and XSS.
