First Impressions:
The Jsaux Steam Deck Housing Replacement Kit made a strong impression from the moment we opened the box. The packaging was well thought out, with all items neatly organized and securely placed, avoiding the common issues of overfilled or underutilized packaging.
The package included well-detailed instructions, ensuring a seamless installation process. Additionally, a QR code provided instant access to the installation procedure, while the backside showcased a breakdown of the Steam Deck's internal components, which we found to be a thoughtful touch.
What's Included:
The Jsaux kit came with a complete set of replacement screws, meticulously labeled with their respective sizes. This level of detail is appreciated as it'll make the installation process a whole lot easier, which we'll get into.
To our delight, the kit also provided every tool needed for the job. The screwdriver with a swivel base facilitated swift and easy loosening and tightening of screws, and its replaceable tip made it a versatile and reusable tool that's surprisingly high quality for an included tool, this isn't your usual one time use inclusions that you would usually see in other similar products on the market.
Another standout inclusion was the generously sized suction cup for the screen. Unlike the smaller and less effective versions we've encountered before, this sturdy suction cup held firmly and proved invaluable during the installation.
And finally, Jsaux thoughtfully provided a complete replacement adhesive tape set, eliminating the need to preserve the original tape—a challenging task in itself. This considerate inclusion ensured a smooth and secure reassembly process, exceeding the quality of our OEM application. Notably, we also observed a delightful surprise after reassembling the screen—the dreaded "IPS Glow," often caused by slight pressure on the device's screen, was significantly reduced.
Practical Accessories:
The kit came with a pair of nitrile dust-free gloves and two thin, yet pliable, plastic cards that were helpful for separating the LCD from the adhesive, ensuring a careful and damage-free process. We have had reports from others that they've damaged the "black paint" behind the Steam Decks panel, which is visible upon reinstallation, this damage is usually caused by prying with a metal tool.
And one of the most notable accessories was the vacuum-formed tray, ingeniously doubling as a parts diagram. This tray kept components organized, preventing the frustration of losing track of parts during the installation. No more chaotic desk space or frantic searches for missing components, this was seriously a godsend in our installation process.
In conclusion:
The Jsaux Steam Deck Housing Replacement Kit is a remarkable gem in the world of handheld gaming modifications. With its stunning color options in transparent brown, crystal, and the nostalgic atomic purple, this kit adds a touch of uniqueness and style to your beloved gaming device.
The thoughtful packaging, detailed instructions, and the inclusion of every tool needed for the job showcase Jsaux's commitment to ensuring a smooth installation process. The complete set of replacement screws, along with the large, sturdy suction cup for the screen, eliminates any worries about choosing the correct components or damaging your device during the upgrade.
One standout feature that deserves applause is the vacuum-formed tray that doubles as a parts diagram. It keeps all the components organized as you undertake the installation, preventing the usual chaos of scattered pieces and making the process a breeze.

It's important to note that this modification is best suited for expert-level users, and Jsaux's housing offers the perfect canvas for creating a customized handheld gaming experience.
