Has anyone found some thumb stick covers that actually fit on the OLED? The JSAUX covers don’t fit and the dbrands don’t want to stay on.

I think a 4 way poll with Samsung/boe, working/not working would have been good here.

Googling a bit, it looks like boe sometimes produces panels for Samsung. I would assume they’re up to spec for Samsung to willing do that. I’m sure valve has some criterion that it must meet as well.

Unless someone comes out with real data on both screens, this might be overblown.

is there a meaningful difference between them?

A1writes at 1500iops and reads at 500iops. A2 writes at 4000iops and reads at 2000iops. This is for random access, which will affect games. Some games more then others. I’m my opinion, you should get the A2.

Removing hot drives requires some prerequisites and I’m not sure the SSDs for the steam deck support that. Can you put the old SSD back in and see if it works? You might have killed the new SSD.

Did you pay anything for the plug-in?

Does it work correctly after rebooting?

does it have the same portal themed warnings on the outside?
