I know I’m in the minority but I prefer the black models instead of the limited edition.

The limited edition orange accents are awesome but I feel the transparency distracts from being immersed into the game.

Anybody else feel the same?

    I was already planning a shell swap thanks to the new screw posts, so I didn’t really care all that much for it. I’m gonna make a purple/black Deck but give it the orange accents because I like loud color combos.

    I personally think think the black model is too boring. If they gave it an interesting pattern or added more colors to it, it would look a lot better.

    I like both, but it was hard to find a transparent case that I liked to show off the limited edition. So I went with the black model.

      My wife said it looked “evil” and I bought it anyway. I think it’s perfectly reasonable people do or don’t like it, but I think it looks great.

    You’re not in the minority. Valve will sell exponentially more of the standard version over the LE version regardless of price, many people will just prefer the standard aesthetics.

    I’d love a shell that was half life themed rather then having to get a skin decal (which I can’t use as I don’t have a damn hairdryer).

    Well, not that I can choose, but I don’t see why people are so hyped about LE. Especially since there is literally a ton of third-party shells of all imaginable (and even some un-imaginable colors). As for my personal taste… this reddish color of joysticks is nice (but I still don’t understand what hue it has… on some photos it’s more like red, on some more like orange, and on some - something in-between), but I don’t like transparent shells.

    I could not decide on this point…so….I now own the OG LCD 512gb AND the OLED LE. Problem solved.

    Yeah I think the LE looks a bit silly. Something that would look cool in a case or just to say you have it. As a daily driver, if want to black one. Matches my other systems.

    A black model looks best to me since I own one now. :)
