See inside your Steam Deck with JSAUX’s $30 clear backplate

JSAUX would possibly sound like simply one other alphabet soup electronics model, nevertheless it’s rapidly developed a fame because the foremost accent vendor for the Steam Deck — and immediately, it’s introduced what (I’m pretty certain!) is the very first clear shell for the system.

The $30 JSAUX PC0106 Transparent Back Plate for Steam Deck isn’t a full shell, because it simply covers (slash exposes) the rear half of the PC gaming transportable. But that’s not all you get on your 30 bucks. It additionally comes with three units of again buttons, no less than one in every of which is taller than the originals for an extended throw. (It’s not clear whether or not they’ll assist with the stiff press, however the picture under offers me hope.)

It additionally has a built-in sq. of aluminum that it claims can act as an prolonged heatsink for the Steam Deck, although I wouldn’t put too a lot inventory in that except you intend to tinker. If you’ve ever opened up a Steam Deck, you’ll know that the factor immediately beneath that square is an electromagnetic interference shield, not direct entry to Valve’s unique heatsink. At least you’re not likely lacking out on a transparent view of the Steam Deck’s innards due to JSAUX’s alternative to depart that portion opaque as a substitute of clear.

Plus, it comes with an entire set of recent screws and a set of fundamental opening instruments.
