Try moving that PS5 away from your PC, mine interfered with my wifi router hardcore when it was next to it.

Looking nice. I did a shell swap myself and it was a fun project (took me about 4 hours). I'm hoping someone comes out with some cool buttons to give me an excuse to keep working on it ๐Ÿ˜‚

The cable is from Temu? Lol, it's the cable. Case solved.

Everyone trashes the design but I actually quite like it, it's different. It's a device for use at home not some on-the-go thing. That said I've never enjoyed game streaming and don't have a PS5 anymore so this isn't for me anyway!

I used a regular hairdryer (with one of the heads that focuses the airflow) on the medium setting. The rest of the tools I just used what came with the new case-- it comes with a big locking suction cup and some thin plastic cards (think credit cards but thinner) for sliding under the edge of the screen to separate the adhesive.

Hell yeah. I love how dark and fucked up the situation is, this game is gonna rule.

Thanks! Maybe check around phone repair shops maybe you could pay someone to do it.

I've never worked on a phone tbh so no point of comparison. It was much easier than I expected, I just followed the directions. Heated the screen for about a minute around the edges with my hair dryer, put the included suction cup on and pulled straight out just enough to get these thin plastic cards wedged in. Had to run those around the edges to cut through / peel up the adhesive then I juat pulled and the screen came off. There was a little residual adhesive so scraping that off took some time since I wanted it to be nice and flush.

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

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 ๐Ÿคฉ. This kb is actually wired tho the photo is a staged lie hahah

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!

 

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
