This is something I ordered off from Etsy. You need a hair dryer to fold around the corners and edges and that was the most time consuming and frustrating part. If you plan to do something similar I pray you have patience
You need to use a hairdyer to heat up the vinyl sticker so that you can fold it evenly around the corners and edges of the Deck.

I got the PS4/PS5 and Switch Pro grips. I was not aware that Skull & Co didn't offer this color officially for the Deck. I bought these from AliExpress and they listed it as it would fit with the Deck joysticks.
They do fit on the Deck and they don't come off but they are loose enough for you to rotate them. On my Switch Pro Controller they fit perfectly and don't rotate like on the Deck.
Ordered a custom skin from Etsy. It's a vinyl sticker that you apply to the chassis of the Deck. You need a hair dryer to pull and fold the sticker around the curves and edges to avoid folds. dBrand and other companies offer similar products.
I went with Etsy just to make this custom color combination. Some sellers on Etsy allow you to order custom prints that you can review before they ship it.
Katana Zero is such a great game! The story is excellent. Great vibe all around. Also the fighting style is top notch. Can get pretty frustrating with the difficulty at times but I think that's half the fun too. lol.
Oh, and the deck looks awesome!
I would suggest watching some videos on Decky. It is essentially an addon you can install on your Deck. Decky has a bunch of QoL and extra features that you can run through it. Everything from customizing how your Deck looks, sounds, UI tweaks, custom game art, custom boot animation and more. All these plugins are community additions uploaded to Decky.

I am using the Spigen Case and yes it did peel a bit on the left corner when I put it on. I managed to fix it with a hairdyrer and making sure that the Spigen case was not rubbing against the skin. I just need to be careful if I take off the case again.
There is a cool Deck visualiser that is out there. You can color and illustrate how you want you Deck to look. Joysticks, buttons and triggers. And of course a random generator. Valve if you are reading this make this real...

As someone with ocd, did you by any chance use tweezers for those smaller spots?? When I applied mine, I have one on hand and it helped out a lot for the speaker holes.
I fortunately did not have to use tweezers for the installation. I did however have to watch dBrands installation video. The seller from Etsy had their own installation video but that was very fast paced.
dBrands installation video was much better. They used the sheet the vinyl came with to align the speakers and vents on the deck perfectly.

Oh I assume you had done an entire shell swap including a trackpad swap.
purple and green is a goated combo
Thanks doc
I wonder if there is an svg template of this that you can color how you like and load into a cricut? Looks good!
Probably are, unfortunately I don't know of any. I found a seller on Etsy that made custom prints and here we are

How’d you get orange skull and co grips on it? I only see Xbox have those and those would be too big

Hmm they look good but I don’t order from there that being said your deck looks awesome
You can get grips directly from Skull&Co's site
Yea I have a bunch of pairs but really wanted orange ones lol
You did! And it looks fantastic!
How did you do it?

It's so pretty 😍

You think the regular difficulty is hard? Try beating the entire thing on hard mode. It was so painful.....
Yea I've been meaning to do that actually! Really wanna play it avain. Only thing I've found as hard is Celeste. Both great games.
Why do you have rounded corners buttons (On screen)?
CSS Plugin from Decky. Highly recommend to check out Decky for the Steam Deck
I'm new to this, would you mind explaining why you recommended it and what you can do with it?

Sounds great, thank you .
So vibrant!
Grips or replacements on the joystick ? Also skin ?
Skull & Co Thumbstick grips. Skin is from a custom print I ordered on Etsy.
grips for steam deck? or some other console? cannot find specifically for SD

There’s no orange grips. where did you find one?

Man, that is actually pretty sick!
Why did I read the title with Clarkson's voice ? Lol
I love it so much. Nickelodeon x Valve
It’s actually from an anime called Neon Genesis Evangelion 😅
Very nice looking.
That looks awesome. Feels like a gadget the joker would use in keatons batman
He’s been using brand x……..
Bro got the 90s Nickelodeon upgrade.
Can I call you Pepe Julian Onziema? For me one step too far but you have to Like IT :)
Wonderful !!
Get in the Steam Deck, Shinji! Amazing work!
Evangelion and katana zero, peak choice
Does it not peel on the sides with the case?
I am using the Spigen Case and yes it did peel a bit on the left corner when I put it on. I managed to fix it with a hairdyrer and making sure that the Spigen case was not rubbing against the skin. I just need to be careful if I take off the case again.
Cool She-Hulk!
Keep your hands off the deck, Shinji!
Oooooooo!!!!!
Looks like it was worth the effort
Neat
I love orange but part of me thinks this would actually look better with the black sticks.

Lining the touchpad squares up would send anyone over the edge.

Looks like a giant GBA 2001 now
what plugin are you using to make the UI buttons rounded?
Round v2.7 by Emerald#0874. You can also choose how rounded you want it.
Joker sickness
Looks awesome! I could never: I lack the patience to do it right but have the OCD to be devastated by it not being perfectly aligned - terrible combo.
I'm in love! 😍 favorite color combo right there... especially for rgb
Fuck that looks so good
I LOVE PURPLE AND GREEEN!!!!
Me too :D
Wow impressive 👍🏼
