If you like fighting games, get this! It's a game changer

I just spent about an hour installing (first time modding SD so a little slo) but it went off without a hitch. Following the video guide was a straightforward and and the outcome was a brilliant, clicky and tactile switch OLED :D. No harder than a pc component installation, if a little smaller and fiddly. I really wanted a better D-pad experience and after trying a clicky controller buttons I knew I needed it in my steam deck. Had a little scare when it wouldn't turn on after plugging everything back in, but after plugging it into a charger cable it started fine. Couple of points 1. The buttons are a little harder press than expected, would love a light click version, as for fighting games the fingers get fatigued easily and sometime even miss the input when sliding my fingers or clicking 2 buttons at a time (It feels about as tactile as the shoulder buttons). 2. The included screw is a little small for man hands and easy to slip out and hit adjacent components. A slightly better driver would make the installation easier. In any case - Im gonna try lots of games and see how it feels long term!

Let's start off with WHY I got this kit: my Steam Deck OLED had a D-Pad that would not register down-left diagonals consistently and the face buttons felt squishy when pressing (the button would not bounce back as well as I liked). Enter this kit. Doing the modification requires some teardown of the Steam Deck. I would strongly suggest to watch the guide that Extremerate has before attempting to see if this is in your skill set. It does not involve any soldering, but does involve some small ribbon cables and undoing the triggers. This mod took me about an hour with testing and some tinkering to make work well. Be warned that this will not make the older PCB for your buttons usable any more, but you can order new kits on iFixit's website. When I initially installed the kit, the down direction on the D-Pad would only go down and to the right. I panicked initially, but this was fixed by loosening one screw by the shoulder button assembly (which does not affect the button but rather how tight the PCB is to the D-Pad). It now works like a champ. The buttons and D-Pad now feel great. I wish the membranes were just a tad softer and the kit came with face buttons that were now just a tad shorter, but that's nitpicking at this point. My buttons don't stick and feel great, and the D-Pad is reliable and feels great. Overall, if you like to do some tinkering and you don't like the stock Steam Deck experience, I'd say go for this. It really is transformative!

Las instrucciones y los materiales proporcionados son perfectos. Mi única pega es que noto los botones un poco duros, me gustaría que fueran algo más sensibles. Dicho esto, es algo subjetivo y a lo mejor a la otra gente le gusta más así.

Facile à a installer si on bricole un peu. un peu raide au départ mais après quelques heures d'utilisation ça devient agréable. Indispensable pour jouer à Céleste sur steamdeck!!!
