I’ve tried a couple sleeves/cases, some thumb caps, the stick on pads for L/R 4/5, and I always end up removing them because I actually prefer the feel of the plain Steam Deck. Anyone else have this happen where whatever they slide or stick onto their Deck makes it feel “wrong”?
I’ve used the rubber back buttons on both my Deck’s, I think they make hitting them substantially better.
The only other accessory I bothered with (if this counts) are these small rubber bands that go around the stem of the thumb sticks to prevent the sticks grinding against the shell of the case. On my LCD Deck they were grinding really badly, accumulating a lot of plastic residue, and ultimately made moving the sticks feel pretty naff. Time will tell if I need to chuck them on the OLED model.
Otherwise, yes, I don’t see the point in most accessories. I’ve never put on third party thumbcaps and thought they felt even remotely better than stock.
