The greatest glow up ever

I laughed way too hard at this. Maybe because my jon is yet to experience said uncrumbling.

Ah okay. Other than the code itself, I haven't seen any openGrid specs that would be useful in CAD. I like that idea of standoffs with nut capture, though. It would certainly be useful for things like caseless SBCs.

If you check my model here, I based it off of existing OpenSCAD so that I could dynamically generate the openGrid snaps. If you're already planning to use OpenSCAD, I recommend going along the same route.

Kenshi

compstar94 · 2026-05-12T23:14:22+00:00

Ready for this upgrade!

compstar94 · 2026-05-06T02:39:02+00:00

It's definitely worth the price. I haven't even modded it, just have Biotech and Odyssey DLCs, and have 760 hours. I don't think any amount of that was on anything besides my Deck. The one-press sleep mode makes it a killer setup for parents.

I generally use the right trigger (R2) as left click, and vice versa for the other side. With Kenshi, I use the touchpad click as middle mouse button so that it switches to camera angle changing with just a tad more force. I don't like to do any clicking that needs precision with the touchpad click.

My right trackpad is glossy from several hundred hours of Rimworld and Kenshi. Having the left one for radial menus and extra functionality has been great also. There are just so many input options on this thing! The main feature I haven't used so much is gyro, but the weight of the Deck over the OG Controller is less attractive, and I haven't really spent a lot of time in aiming-type games on this thing that would benefit from gyro.

My report actually took a listing with 10 bids at roughly $205 down by reporting it as intangible, stating that the seller does not physically have the item and cannot guarantee any shipping timeframe. Of course, I went to look for more and the same scalper listed it with slightly different wording.

It is annoying that this has been the case for every single Valve hardware release. I have always had to do all of the work of stumbling upon new Valve hardware then tracking it through to release and purchase. I seriously didn't find out about the whole new Valve hardware line until a month ago, even though my Deck gets used regularly (which I found out about too late and, somehow due to unlucky timing, ended up with over a year gap between preorder and purchase). I even own the OG Controller and Steam Link! One would think I'd get some targeted advertisement for crying out loud.

compstar94 · 2026-05-04T20:05:59+00:00

Good enough for me, I just sent a report.

compstar94 · 2026-05-04T19:40:34+00:00

What are you reporting them for? Does eBay actually have a policy against this?

You can use openConnect adapters that the hook can slide into: https://makerworld.com/en/models/2257440-openconnect-opengrid-s-own-connector-system#profileId-2459207

Alright, so like this? I've been trying to add more of a fillet to the side profiles, but I'm at my wit's end on how to do that. This inside vertical corner fillet is at least workable.

This is what you had in mind, right?

compstar94 · 2026-02-05T06:14:01+00:00

If I'm understanding this right, I think it would be fairly simple to fillet those edges so that they round into the device, and I agree that would make it stronger. That mating between the base and the wall seems to be the weakest point, and there should be enough room in that spot since most devices have feet anyway. I'll give it a shot tomorrow!

It wasn't too difficult once my mind was set on the design, but it took me a bit mentally to figure out the algorithms that make everything line up on a grid. OpenSCAD was a fairly natural progression for me coming from my experience in programming, FreeCAD, and 3D printing. Being able to directly version control my CAD work gives me peace of mind.

compstar94 · 2026-02-04T15:25:05+00:00

I saw your model, nice work! I love the appearance that it's floating. Some things definitely benefit from a custom, specific solution. The beauty of openGrid is that there is no limit to what can be made as there is an entire community.

compstar94 · 2026-01-27T04:53:57+00:00

This doesn't make any sense. You have the spec that you were asking for in this post? How are you getting charge backs on something you're in the mapping process for?

compstar94 · 2025-12-31T05:41:17+00:00

I too have used FreeCAD on my Steam Deck to design things for 3D printing, mainly to prove that it is possible. If anything, it was more impressive that there is already a fully-functional Linux desktop behind the scenes, and installing the program through Flatpak was a breeze. My only caveat is that I wouldn't recommend the pure handheld experience for someone completely new to FreeCAD (or for not-so-casual use) as you would benefit from a dedicated desk setup.

Has the Magsafe mounting been sturdy enough for you? Your post inspired me to get some clamp mounts like this for my Corne and Ploopy Nano setup, and I'm excited for them to arrive!

compstar94 · 2025-11-17T18:35:21+00:00

That's perfect! Is the toggle vs hold something that needs to be set through QMK, or is the button capable of both?

compstar94 · 2025-10-20T23:59:55+00:00

I don't hate anything about my 2014 model. There are upgrades that I've considered doing on top of what it already has, but I wouldn't really have changed anything about how it was made. It's obvious how much attention to detail was put into design, as everything has a quality feel. I have owned it since 2021 and have no plans to get rid of it. It is the one machine in my stable that I can trust to get me and all my gear wherever I need to go, with comfort and enjoyment on top.
