Kinda gimmicky, but interesting enough that I read the article so I figured I would share.

I’m actually considering taking my brand skin off my deck. The deck gets hot enough that the skin is starting to warp and slide around in places.

Do you have an LCD or OLED Deck? Might make a difference (or not, I dunno).

FWIW I have no issues with my dbrand skin on my Steam Deck OLED. Though I spent hours to get a near perfect application and I repasted its APU with Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut.

Good paste. I’ve used that stuff in other projects.

But that’s good to know. I don’t think the Kryonaut replacement would be significant enough of a thermal change to matter in this application, so maybe the updated hardware in the OLED is cooler overall and makes it a better candidate for skinning.

That sounds icky in the hand…

Seems like ColorWare style painting is a better option. (But much more expensive.)

It’s none of the areas that I hold while playing thankfully, it just doesn’t look very good/neat. I might only take off those parts vs leave it partially skinned.
