It took me 4 hours, much of that was slowness at the beginning and meticulous removal of the old adhesive for the screen. The actual screen removal was so much easier than I was afraid of. I followed along with both their text & video guides and it was all pretty straightforward if a little nerve wracking and time consuming. Very happy with it! If anyone has any questions about the process lmk

That looks so cool! I’m digging the keyboard-matched track pads, too.

I was proud of myself for getting just the JSAUX backplate on last week, no way I’d be brave enough to do the front/full enclosure, but it looks really slick and I’m glad to hear the process (especially the screen) was not as bad as anticipated. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you!! It was definitely kind of draining it’s a long process. but look how pretty it is :D I had just the backplate on before and that itself is a pretty cool little mod!

Looks very cool, but I also like the keyboard!

I’ve got a TKL mechanical keyboard that supports Bluetooth, but it is a bit bulkier. I have a cheaper Bluetooth keyboard, but it’s rubbish.

Most of the time, I’m just plugging in a spare keyboard into a hub, but I’d like something Bluetooth, portable, and decent enough.

It’s actually a cheap little mechanical keyboard I picked up specifically for my deck, I think it was $25 on Amazon. I’m pretty happy with it. And once I had it and I had the plan of doing the case swap I knew I needed some orange on the deck itself to match 🤩. This kb is actually wired tho the photo is a staged lie hahah

I prefer frosted personally (100% clear is too ‘prison tech’ for me lol) but hopefully these companies will start putting more options out there. Jsaux doesn’t even have all the colors for the frontplate yet that they do for the back (I think the green would look great for example). Honestly I would love a piss yellow like the death stranding ps5 controller
