I fear the price point on this will not be able to compete with just getting a new SteamDeck OLED
I think this more of test the water things, target audience are people whose screen broke and they hate e waste. that guy will spend extra not throw out hardware.
economies of scale could make it viable tho
I'm that guy. If my screen breaks I will be looking at a mod like this.
i am working on being better myself too after i realized that i spent most of my adulthood consooming like a dumb bitch and blowing money doing so, kinda pathetic :/
When you think about it in pure money terms, fixing things becomes a lot more attractive. You can't get a better deal than $150 for a Steam Deck (the cost to replace the screen on the one you already own).
It's always tempting to replace old stuff with new stuff, but it also always feels like a big victory when I repair something I already own. There is so much satisfaction in it, especially if you learn a new skill in the process e.g. soldering.
