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

-
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.
-
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
-
That might be an appealing retro aesthetic to have!
-
Ngl I was convinced for a good while it's mostly a result of smoking near them.
-
I mean that will do it too, but it will be sticky and stain your skin and also smell awful
-
-
-
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.
-
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.
-
-
Is this the MAGA Edition?
-
Fucking hell, man. Good one.

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.
