Sam, just to clear something to your audiance: SD joysticks are not universal, so SD LCD joysticks and SD OLED joysticks are not compatibles. They need to be careful in this regard so they won't buy the wrong one.

[@sam.alexander.reviews]

yes thank you!

[@ElisBuenas82]

Thanks for clarifying this 😊

[@ChocolateAsian9000]

I will say: you should be able to take the thumb stick itself from the rod of an OLED one and place in on the rod of an LCD one. It requires de-soldering/soldering one wire each. I did this with my LCD deck just to upgrade my sticks lol

[@timedazzler7050]

Were here with you and the channel is growing. Sam

[@enthusiastly]

Thanks for the quality video, Sam. I've watched a lot of Steamdeck mod vids, and this one was the best!!

[@paticillin5952]

My new steam deck will be delivered today ❤ Can’t wait to get it into my hands. Thank you for this video and the modding ideas, Sam.

[@michaelmarashio2639]

Thanks for the video, sam. My Steamdeck OLED comes in tomorrow. Excited to finally join the world of PC Gaming!

[@donpaven1252]

Thanks for useful and easy to understand tips Sam 🤟🙏

[@cjyetter4494]

Great video SAM, Thanks

[@legion321]

Nice sam
I like the analog sticks I might look into getting them for my steam deck

[@makerender]

Been loving the videos Sam, might have to get that backplate.

[@Jonkunimen]

thank you for being a good deck sam-aritans!😅

[@bigbubbagump]

Thanks for the video Sam! Great timing as the Steam Deck is on sale and I may finally take the plunge!

[@iamcbride]

I don't know if I can tell if the hall effect joysticks do anything, but I would love to find out. Love this channel!

[@W4rren86]

Honestly, Sam, I'm probably going to try to get a few of these. I just ordered my steam deck and am looking at any videos I can with tips or accessories, etc. So, thank you for making this video!

[@traviswatson7868]

Thanks for your generosity Sam…live the channel.

[@ohRyo]

I enjoyed the video but didn't expect that there'll be a giveaway in the end. Thank you SAM

[@devinseals7151]

Keep up the good work Sam

[@judacs]

I never win giveaways, but the hope never dies!
Thanks, Sam!

[@JeffreyKlepper]

Great vid Sam.
That heat sink on the back plate makes it well worth getting one.
Thanks on explaining the joysticks drift as well. Nice to know what causes it and that you can make it better with the magnet joysticks where it helps fix the issue.

[@Adonis_Quinn]

Hey Sam, I’m a newer subscriber and have been enjoying your Steam Deck content. Your videos did helped me decide to get one. Looking forward to watch more videos from you.

[@brianporter9979]

Stoked about the idea of Hall Effect joy sticks SAM

[@joeyosh43]

Hall effects a great Sam!

[@nrubes01]

Sam this was great i might need to try these

[@BeeShutter]

You are an amazing content creator Sam

[@yziquamizzle]

Sam, great video. Changing up the SSD is easy but it was quite scary opening up the steam deck the first time around.

[@dylude1101]

thanks Sam

[@josetrejos9490]

Hey Sam! Good stuff in this video :D

[@MinYoungWu]

Thanks for the tips Sam! Don't have my deck yet, very excited to get it soon

[@bwttruman.]

Great video Sam

[@youfindamoment]

You a real one Sam

Hey Sam, the backplate looks great with an external fan, the intake and heat spreader should really benefit from more airflow, HandheldDIY also has some tighter Hall Effect joysticks that look really interesting to try for shooters

[@andrewantczak4637]

Sam, awesome video brother! My left joystick just developed drift out of nowhere and so I could so use a pair of those Hall effect ones right about now! 🤣

[@skriptics9439]

Sam is love, Sam is life.

[@FeeChee]

Solid video Sam

[@Grunt1227]

[@d1pstick32]

Hey Sam. New to the channel. I know you're an OLED boy now but what do you think of the DeckHD LCD upgrade?

[@noia_1466]

Thanks Sam !! Your videos are very useful!!

[@BillBert1981]

Love you Sam!

[@kevinbutler7619]

"Enjoys extra long joysticks," thats what she said, Sam. 😆

[@TheTekSone]

Sam, I have already upgraded the internal SSD to 2 TB however, I have never thought to change out the back plate or the joysticks.

[@bocadog3]

Does it need better cooling? Seems impossible to get a steamdeck hot as stock

[@shilo6891]
