The translucent Steam Deck shells are $35.99 each, while the full color shells will be $45.99. I will admit, I love the button changes for the purple/blue and white full color shells. The full white buttons really make the device feel extremely unique.

    The Screen is upgradable, Switches, Buttons, full Shell… I can’t wait for the battery to get a Solid State version or whichever technology will benefit next from Economy of Scale.
    I’m glad Valve isn’t throwing new Decks every 6-12 months at the wall. I want to savour my Deck 1 till it is a cherished old memory before I get a Deck 2

    Oh and I want a Steam Pal pillow to keep company to my Din Grogu pillow.
