    The plan was to cover everything in orange, but as I was applying the skin I liked the orange/black combo so much I decided to leave it like that.

      Looks like Freeman’s HEV suit. Classic Valve aesthetic.

      Looks sick, man. How’s Rhythm Heaven? Recently got back into rhythm games myself.

        Rhythm Heaven might be one of my favorite rhythm game series of all time. It’s kind of hard to compare with other rhythm games, because RH isn’t really like DDR or Guitar Hero or Osu! where the harder songs = more notes to hit. There are some songs where you might only have a couple dozen inputs, but you need to be exact on all of them. It’s charming as hell and I love it, and Dolphin running RH Fever works greeeeeeat on the Deck.

    I’m impressed with how cleanly you’ve applied your skin!

    Here’s mine

      Neat motif! Did you use heat? My skin came with instructions to use a hairdryer and the skin kind of just melted into place with some careful strokes. If you haven’t done so, maybe you can try that on an inconspicuous area?

      source
      • OmegaMouse@pawb.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Yeah I used a hairdryer, but it still created a few small ripples despite being super careful. To be honest I hardly notice them!

      Woah it’s all white :O
      Was it a set or did you have to get custom case, buttons and pads separately? Wanted to do something similar as well in the beginning but I’ve never taken electronics apart before so when I read that it’s not that easy and there are risky steps, I bailed and got a skin instead haha

      • Cikos@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        it was a set. bought it from extremerate as soon as it was released. i tried to replace it myself but my hair dryer is not hot enough to peel the screen so I found a repair shop that was willing to do it.

        source
      • SeekPie@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Especially on the steam deck, if upu put ot back together, the buttons won’t feel the same, because it needs a specific screw tightness which is not written anywhere.

        source
      • Hexarei@programming.dev ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        A company called ExtremeRate sells the case and button kits all as one - It took me around 5 hours to replace the shell on mine, but that’s largely because I was being meticulous and careful while also following a video tutorial that I had to keep pausing/resuming.

        Now that I’ve done it once, I could probably do it in a half-hour though.

    • FullOfBallooons@leminal.space ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      That looks GREAT! I love that you got the matching buttons too.

    Here’s mine, I continue to adore it. I’ve been playing more on my GPD Win Mini since it arrived, but I can’t help love the Deck for some games.

      This is a thing of beauty. How hard was it to get the case swapped out?

      source
      • Hexarei@programming.dev ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        It wasn’t difficult to me, just time consuming really since I was taking it slow and keeping everything organized. I have all the appropriate tools for things like a screen swap and such though, along with the patience and expertise to do it safely - So I might not be the best person to answer about the difficulty in a way that would be true for others.

    Sweet. Any good link where to buy a nice Deck skin? ( with International ship possibly).

    source
    • BlueFairyPainter@feddit.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I’m also from Europe and got this one from EasySkinz. They’re UK-based. The material feels good and was easy to apply, can def recommend them. Customer support was helpful, too (asked them if the non-OLED skins were any different from the OLED ones and the answer was no, idk why they sell them in different categories).

    That’s very cool! It’s it actually pearlescent or just multicolored?

    source
    • BlueFairyPainter@feddit.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      It’s metallic blue when you look directly at it and turns more purple as you look more from the side

    Here is my 512gb OG on its Dock that I got for the holidays, so these days it stays docked there. But that is in part because I also have the Limited Edition OLED that I use around the house :D

    That looks awesome! I can’t imagine myself being able to apply a skin, I can’t even get a screen protector to go on correctly 😅

    source
    • BlueFairyPainter@feddit.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      The screen protector you see on mine is the second one because I fumbled the first and it still has bubbles. So as someone who also struggles with screen protectors: it’s not the same.
      Yes, it has a lot more pieces, some of which are quite thin and fragile and you need more patience to follow the instructions properly and the whole process takes a lot longer, which may seem daunting.
      But the material is so, so much more forgiving than the average screen protector.

      First of all, it’s not transparent, so trapping some stuff that doesn’t have much height like fine dust and fingerprints is not an issue, since you can’t see it.
      This means that you don’t have to drop everything into place perfectly on the first try. Because a small amount of fingerprints is not an issue, you can fumble around with it a lot more. Because fine dust is not an issue, you can also take your time doing it.
      Secondly, even if you do trap larger pieces of dust, unlike rigid screen protectors that create a huge penny-sized bubble dome around it, skins are meant to wrap tightly around complex shapes, so in my case I just have a teenie tiny bump exactly the size of the dust + skin thickness, which is barely noticeable.
      The glue on my skin also seems different and more forgiving to ripping and reapplying. In particular, you can reposition things a lot of times before pressing down to fixate it for good. So you can e.g. fixate one side, then lightly drape the skin across to match the cutouts on the other side, then fixate that side, and then smooth out the middle parts.
      Which takes us to bubbles. Whenever the flat skin doesn’t fit the 3D shape 100%, you’ll get a lot of wrinkles and bubbles and that is totally fine. With the hairdryer, you can melt the material into place and most of my bubbles disappeared completely. The few that didn’t turned into tiny creases at the ends. I think this is the only imperfection to expect. It’s really hard not to get any creases and you don’t get more tries here because you need to press down to smooth out the bubbles, so you can’t reapply.
      But that’s it. Everything else can be repositioned until it’s perfect, so the only thing it really takes is patience.

        That’s good to know, thanks! I might actually have to look into giving it a go one day, maybe for an old phone at first just for some practice so to speak.
