    transparent custom shells already exist. the problem is, that transparent plastics tend to be more brittle than solid colors

      Ive done a shell swap on my steam deck and while Its worth it and it looks amazing it was a PROCESS because you have to unglue the screen and the touch pads (if you want to swap those too) you basically disassemble the entire device

      There’s actually an official transparent case Steam Deck too. They had the limited edition OLED when it first came out.

  Fuck, I just bought my OLED model a week ago.

    The white looks, cool but I think it will look dirty a bit faster. Also, the white boarder may be a bit distracting

    I always prefer the dark colors around screens.

      Yeah - my first thought was literally “that will look dirty quick”

    You can still shell swap or vinyl wrap your OLED, replace joysticks and buttons, etc. It’s cooler to customize it in that way imo

      The notion of getting a special edition white one, then swapping the shell to a custom black is funny.

    Idk where you live, but a number of countries give you a 14 day cool-off period where you can return purchases for any reason.

    Eternally thankful this isn’t a rerun of the translucent black edition. I too got my first OLED delivered last week.

  white plastics have a history of becomig yellow

  • rustydrd@sh.itjust.works ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    It’s called a patina, and it’s an intended side-effect of repeated use that increases performance.

      ah, just like how cam out is a feature of phillips screws that improves the spinning performance of the driver

    Ngl a 90s PC beige steam deck would be amazing to run emudeck on

  • coronach@lemmy.sdf.org ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    That might be an appealing retro aesthetic to have!

  • magikmw@lemm.ee ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Ngl I was convinced for a good while it’s mostly a result of smoking near them.

    source

    • Grass@sh.itjust.works ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I mean that will do it too, but it will be sticky and stain your skin and also smell awful

• InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  As sexy as it looks I feel it might look dirty fast.

  source
• LiveLM@lemmy.zip ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  Man, I couldn’t get one over the fear of it getting yellowed but it looks cleeeeeean

  source

  • Bosht@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    If you already own a steamdeck they sell replacement shells. Be forewarned though installation is absolutely insane and takes a loooot of time. I’ve had white installed on mine for about a year and have had no issues with it yellowing.

      The back half of the shell is easy though, I swapped mine with a transluscent purple backplate a few months back. ^_^

    I thought this wasn’t really a thing anymore with modern white plastic, no? It’ll still get more visibly dirty though.

  Finally a good solution to my white sd-card. It looks so bad in my black Steam Deck.

  source

  • vodka@lemm.ee ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I solved this issue with the magic of a black whiteboard marker.

    source

    • TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I tried this but even permanent marker kept rubbing off

    I barely notice it.

    The SD card slot is pointing down when I use it.

    I also have a case which makes it even harder to see.

  Is this the MAGA Edition?

  • The_Che_Banana@beehaw.org ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Fucking hell, man. Good one.

• HouseWolf@lemm.ee ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  I owned a white original model PSP and that thing never looked clean after the first week no matter what I did.

  Honestly people who go all white on everything kinda terrify me…
