Hey Steam Deckers, I didn’t know there was a bigger Steam Deck community. So I’m sharing my post from the other one: https://lemmy.world/post/2888070

Demo: https://youtu.be/0vzsUnbOR9c

Want to gain more control using an extension riser such as KontrolFreeks and still keep capaictive touch for gyro aiming and more?

I got a solution for you! I bought this 3d printed clip-on meant for XBOX Series/One. It’s a little loose on the Steam Deck’s joystick; however, that leaves room to put into conductive material to activate the capacitive touch.

I used Greg’s LiveZone | Superior Thumbstick Upgrade - Clips on from his Etsy store. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1362835549/livezone-superior-thumbstick-upgrade

At first, I tried it out with aluminum foil and that works. But, it tears easy and is quite slippery.

I bought and used a conductive fabric tape from US Amazon: GENNEL 5mm x 20M (0.2in x 65ft) Conductive Cloth Fabric Adhesive Tape, Faraday Tape for EMI Shielding, Interference Signal Blocking, Laptop Mobilephone LCD Repair, Cable Wire Harness Wrapping

https://www.amazon.com/Conductive-Fabric-Adhesive-Laptop-Shielding/dp/B01ALDR0D0

And there you go! More control during aiming and you can still activate gyro.

I hope this helps people
