STOP MAKING WHITE RUBBER THUMBSTICKS (these look more gray, but my point still stands).

Are white rubber thumbsticks bad in some way?

Probably if you don’t wash your hands very often…or at all? Just guessing

I wash my hands after eating if I use my controller (else it depends if they feel dirty).
Even doing that the thumbsticks (of my Shock Blue xbox series controller) are still are a bit discolored.

I’ve never had a problem with grey sticks. GameCube and 360 had grey, and they disintegrate before they ever get discolored. My C stick inevitably ends up scuffed and looking like the tip of a yellow marker after you color over black though

That’s not how you make survive a piece of hardware: Valve, stop thinking you are Nintendo, they make almost every new iteration of their hardware to fail, the Switch wasn’t even a successful iteration of the WiiU… they had to kill their Gameboy legacy (DS) to make the Nintendo Switch to appear.

SteamOS ecosystem needs to follow the path of Android. Do like Google did, not Nintendo!

You make you own Linux handheld like Google did their first HTC gPhone, then Google Pixel… then push mobile manufacturer to make their own Android smartphone.

Every other PC handheld coming out today is delivered with Windows, you’re failing with the SteamDeck… Those handheld come with Microsoft’s Store pre-installed, you’re losing the war even if winning few battles, Valve, I am telling ya.

I wish they did a transparent case!

They did. As in past tense. It was a limited edition as well and the case was prone to cracking.

This has happened with some Android handhelds as well, for some reason the transparent ones crack more often.

I did a similar swap for a pair of joycons, that was a real headache. When I finally get a deck I may very well do this

I don’t understand the love for white devices. Thanks to everyone paying a premium price for an inferior color.
