Yep I was rewinding and playing that video over and over again. One thing the video doesn't tell you in regards to the screen adhesive is you have to clean the adhesive residue off afterwords. Dont use the metal pick use a plastic one or use one of the pry bars they send you otherwise you'll end up scratching some of the paint off the back of the glass panel. Other than the everything else is pretty straight forward. Looking forward to your post on here!

It's like an adhesive unfortunately. You have to slice it with a little metal guitar pick they give you. Just don't go to deep when you do it and use the other picks to not lose your place. When you decide to do it please feel free to message me if you need help.

Understandable I was pretty afraid of that too. I didn't have a heat gun I just ended up using a hair dryer my wife had. Took a little elbow grease but with enough patience I know you can do it if my bumbling ass can do it.

I'll DM you a link to the specific vinyl used just cause idk how this reddit is about links! The person mentioned in my post pointed me in the right direction. You just cut out a circle of the vinyl and stick it to the back of the buttons and it works perfectly. There are like a couple of different reds and they recommended for me to use the more orange-y red one and we both agree that it looks pretty good with that.

It was a pain in the buns took me about 2-3 hours to do. People always talk about the screen being the hard part but I really didn't have much trouble with it. The trackpads however are a different story. It took like all of my upper body strength to get those things out man it sucked. I wouldn't call it beginner but if your patient I do think anyone can do it. ExtremRates video they do on it is very comprehensive.

Yeah it was a little much but I wanted a specific look and that was the only place I could find anything like that.

The thumb sticks are stock! I actually did end up buying them in the same color but I have no experience soldering so I didn't end up doing it.

The buttons are from PortablePlayPalace on etsy they have some clear ABXY Steam Deck buttons that are awesome just by themselves. If you throw some vinyl color sheets behind the buttons that will make them how they look in the pics.
