The JSAUX Steam Deck Thumb Grip Caps. One is applied to the Steam Deck’s left thumbstick, the other is being held next to it.

I’m told that if I do one morePrime Big Deal Dayspost, they’ll take off the metal clamps holding my eyelids open, and won’t put them back on until Black Friday next month. Result! So here’s a little after-dinner mint of a PC gaming hardware bargain: JSAUX’sSteam Deckthumbstick covers, which come packaged with some stick-on decals for£8/$8. Both 20% off, they be, leaving a price so low I have real hope you’ll forgive me using the phrase “stocking stuffer” in October.

For reasons that I’ve never seen anyone adequately explain, these covers also have the unusual quality of extending the capacitive sensor range in the thumbsticks themselves. This only really comes into play if you use theSteam Deck’s gyro controls, but it’s pretty cool regardless: whereas on a naked stick, your thumb needs to touch right in the middle to activate the sensor, resting it anywhere on JSAUX’s grips will have the same effect.

…All good? Can you… ah, much better, thanks.
