  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.

  You can get the battery elsewhere, but:

  • iFixit is an official Steam Deck partner, and their Steam Deck parts are supplied by the official Steam Deck supply chain.
  • The iFixit Steam Deck battery kit is not just the battery, it includes a bunch of tools and adhesive and things with which to do the job.
  • You get iFixit’s guarantees and warranties and such.

  If they’re the same track pads as on the Steam Deck they don’t actually physically click in anywhere, but they have really good pressure sensitivity and can be configured to deliver a haptic feedback “click” back to your thumb when you press hard enough. It feels just like clicking a physical button, but it’s all a clever electronic illusion.

  To test this on a Deck, try clicking with the unit switched off and keep trying as you hit the power button and it starts up.

  Sooooo much Lucky Tower Ultimate! I had no idea when I bought this game how much it would eclipse all the other software on my Steam Deck, but I’m loving it a whole lot.

  16 million of those hours were the bear-shagging scene.

  Just flush its cache regularly.
