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.
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
White: ✋
Transparent: 👈
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
white plastics have a history of becomig yellow
It’s called a patina, and it’s an intended side-effect of repeated use that increases performance.
Ngl I was convinced for a good while it’s mostly a result of smoking near them.
As sexy as it looks I feel it might look dirty fast.
Man, I couldn’t get one over the fear of it getting yellowed but it looks cleannn, love the grey buttons
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.
