I found that if I hold the steam deck using my fingers and upper palm high on the deck, it creates less strain. This means my palms can’t rest on the lower half. Would this grip make it better to hold so I can rest my lower palms on something?

    So I bought the smooth grips, the ones not connected by that bottom piece, and they started to slip off after like four days. I almost had my face smashed by my Steam Deck multiple times.

    I sent him pictures of what he should do to make it tighter and that he omitted a third bump that’a meant to keep his case locked into the speaker grills.

    After a week or two, he offered me a replacement for free and now he has a new variant that has concave bumps. I opted for the new variant to try it out. He sent it and the replacement felt amazing. The original and his revised grips reduced the amount of numbness I usually feel after long gaming sessions. The revised grips have held tight onto the Steam Deck for more than 1 month of usage so far.

    Oh I’ve been talking about thr long grips. The short grips felt slippery at first, but it’s also just as good. My fingers naturally moved over the back grip buttons. It takes more time for me to get used to them compared to the longer grips, but both are good.
