Spent way too long applying this skin. Turned out alright if you didn't look too closely at it though.

Zelda-Fans aufgepasst: dbrand, der umstrittene Hersteller von Skin-Decals und Zubehör, bringt „kreative“ Designs für die Switch und den Steam Deck auf den Markt – und provoziert dabei die Anwälte von Nintendo. Hier ist, was ihr wissen müsst: dbrand veröffentlicht „Clone of the Kingdom“-Decals im Zelda-Stil Die Decals ahmen das Design des offiziellen Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom-Limited Edition-Konsolen nach dbrand provoziert gezielt Anwälte und Legalität der Produkte Unklar, wie Nintendo auf die kontroversen Designs reagieren wird Die Geschichte hinter den "Clone of the Kingdom"-Decals Eine neue Produktlinie des Peripherieherstellers dbrand sorgt für Aufsehen: Die "Clone of the Kingdom"-Decals, erhältlich für Switch und Steam Deck, sind an das Design der kürzlich veröffentlichten Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom-Limited Edition-Konsole angelehnt und bieten Spielern somit eine kostengünstige Alternative, um ihre Konsolen individuell zu gestalten. Die Decals: kaum vom Original zu unterscheiden Mit den dbrand-Decals lassen sich sowohl die Switch als auch der Steam Deck so gestalten, dass sie täuschend echt wie die offizielle Tears of the Kingdom-Limited Edition-Konsole aussehen. Angeblich enthält das Decal für den Dock zudem einen Code, der "GO FUCK YOURSELF LAWYERS" sagt, sowie den Hinweis „THIS FUNDS OUR LEGAL DEFENSE“. Damit positioniert sich dbrand offen gegen das Vorgehen Nintendos, der aufgrund seiner Legalität stark umstritten ist. Vergangene Kontroversen: dbrand und die Darkplates für die PS5 dbrand ist für seine kontroversen Produkte und sein selbstbewusstes Auftreten bekannt: So hat das Unternehmen trotz rechtlicher Bedenken in der Vergangenheit beispielsweise Darkplates für die PlayStation 5 angeboten und sich dabei auf eine mögliche klage von Sony vorbereitet. Im Falle des "Clone of the Kingdom"-Sets bleibt abzuwarten, wie Nintendo auf die skins reagieren wird. Fazit: Mutiges Vorgehen oder kreativer Rechtsbruch? Die neuen "Clone of the Kingdom"-Decals von dbrand sind zweifellos gelungen und für Fans eine interessante Option, um ihre Konsolen individuell zu gestalten. Doch das provokante Vorgehen gegenüber Nintendo und Anwälten führt erneut zur Frage, ob es sich hierbei um mutige Kreativität oder doch eher um grenzwertige Rechtsverstöße handelt. Bleibt abzuwarten, wie sich die Situation zwischen dbrand und Nintendo weiterentwickeln wird.

Dbrand’s Steam Deck case is so good it almost makes you forget its big flaw

The Killswitch case keeps your Steam Deck safe and is currently available on the Dbrand site. | Photo by Alice Newcome-Beill / The Verge In high school, I’d keep my CD player from getting crushed in my bookbag by wrapping it in a wool sock. Considering that the CD player was probably the most expensive thing I owned at the time, I probably could’ve done better. This is how I felt with the first…

i wanted to wait till i got my skins to post but. i have acquired a Deck. i have named her the Creature (my gaming desktop is the Beast) and i love her very much so far

specs on the deck, screen protector, skins, etc under the cut, and a little on my experience so far

so i placed my reservation day one for the most basic model of the steam deck, the 64gb w/o the ~special glass~, and was projected to receive in q2. i got my order confirmation email on 5/20, purchased that day, and received fedex tracking info the next day. i received my deck on 5/27. in anticipation of its arrival i ordered a set of 4 tempered glass screen protectors from amazon for $8 (lit just search "steam deck tempered glass" and you'll find what i got), and a 512gb uhs-i micro sd card to expand that pitiful 64gb. after playing with the deck for about a week i put in an order for skins: i got the dbrand steam deck skin in Kind of Purple on the front and black Swarm on the back/touchpads.

(a note on the skins: i find the cuts were of EXCELLENT quality and getting a good result, with minimal wrinkles/warping, is a matter of going very slow, using a lot of heat, and trying to pull the skin off and on during application as little as possible. i really like the feel of both the matte Purple front and the textured hexagonal pattern on the back. idk how much i'm going to like it on the touchpads, but i can always peel the Swarm squares off and put on the Purple that came with the front piece. i think they're a good value for the money, but i wouldn't buy their ultra special tempered glass at $25 for a 2 pack. at the end of the day it's just sticky tempered glass rectangles...)

the steam deck itself-- i REALLY like it. i'm an ideal user for this device, tho: i have a large steam library, i built my own pc so i appreciate the hardware and design work on this, and have become a primarily switch gamer this last year bc my gaming time has gradually shifted more towards an hour or two before bed or work than the 4-8 hour gaming marathons of college. the steam deck fills that niche well. i've picked up and played 3 different games so far (aperture desk job to learn the controls, tacoma, then night in the woods as pictured above) and had a great experience in all of them. even if a game is listed as iffy on the deck, it's worth giving it a shot-- often the biggest issue you'll run into is text size. the deck lets me particularly play smaller indie games i really want to play, but haven't felt up to booting my whole ass pc and sitting down at a desk for since i bought them. i bought tacoma the year it came out and JUST NOW got to it, and loved it! im very excited for how many more small projects the deck will let me finally spend time with because of its portability.

urgh okay switching to bullets to try to better organize my thoughts:

i got the good fan! i haven't found it to be loud at all, but i HAVE found the deck gets hot fast even running non-AAA titles. i actually went and toggled off their new fan settings that minimized when it ran in favor of the old BIOS-based ones. i would rather hear the soft sound of my fan all the time and know the unit's temp is well-regulated, rather than possibly degrade my hardware faster for Silence. glad i have the option to opt in or out of integral device updates, too!

i tried using the deck in desktop mode to install some of my itch.io library with mixed results. the linux desktop is intuitive, if small, and as a firefox user on all devices it was very easy to log in to firefox pre-installed on the device and get all my bookmarks/logins. i was able to download and extract game files from itch. i was even able to run a couple games! unfortunately the input scheme translation issue between the deck and a game running in desktop mode is rough, and the onscreen keyboard can't bridge the gap. i'm going to keep futzing with this, though! i want to play those games and it's definitely (theoretically) possible

the steam deck os is DEFINITELY in beta, and is missing some features big picture mode has. the onscreen keyboard is... bad. but software is a comparatively easy fix, and it's by no means unusable

the ergonomics work well for me! granted, i have big hands, but the button/trigger placements feel very natural, and switching to using the touchpad vs the right analog stick is nothing. for how many buttons they stuck on this thing, i'm impressed they all feel pretty good! it's definitely heavier than the switch and i haven't felt comfortable commuting with it yet. but in my experience so far, preventing wrist strain is as easy as curling up in bed or in a chair and naturally resting some point of the deck on a pillow/arm/side table, which was my same strat with the switch.

i haven't used any bluetooth peripherals yet, so nothing to say there. but it still has a headphone jack. THANK YOU. my god, i missed being able to use some of my best headphones. not to mention p much any gamer headset with headphones and mic routed through one jack.

the case is nice? no room for other items (sd card case, stylus, cable, etc) but it's very solidly built. but again, haven't travelled with the deck yet

right now there's an issue with where shader caches and other supporting data files for games get stored. i've loaded about 300gb of games on my sd so far with no problem, but my deck's default 64gb storage is almost full just from files supporting those games being saved there instead of on the card. as more people get decks, i expect a patch to make sure all files get saved one place or another will come down, though rumor has it there's a linux thing you can run to fix this... but ive been too chickenshit to try running too much on the desktop side that could alter the device's os

whew thats a lot!!! to distill, ive been enjoying this device for what it is: a new piece of tech with some flaws to be addressed, that gives me another way to interact with games i already own, and feels much more transparent in its development (and reparable! i didnt even get into the replacement parts!) than the switch. i really like it, and if you're expecting one or thinking about reserving, i hope this gave you some more info about the experience!
