A GitHub user known as Crastinator-Pro successfully converted a Steam Deck into a screenless console termed the 'Steam Brick' due to size constraints with the device. The modder dissected the Steam Deck, removing its controls, screen, and unnecessary components while retaining functionality. They documented the process to share insights, but strongly caution against attempting this modification, calling it a 'very bad idea' and stating it simply should be viewed as a personal project rather than a replicable guide for others.
The creator of the Steam Brick transformed the Steam Deck into a screenless console to address portability issues, although they advise against replicating this mod.
The Steam Brick was constructed by stripping down a Steam Deck, eliminating all non-essential components for a smaller, TV-connected gaming device in response to size constraints.
Crastinator-Pro's effort highlights a creative solution for gamers seeking space-saving options while using their Steam Deck primarily with external displays and devices.
While the process to create the Steam Brick was intriguing, the modder emphasizes it wasn't meant as a guide, warning readers it could be a 'very bad idea'.
