Anyone who has played with Valve's handheld Steam Deck knows its size and weight. It was originally thought that Valve's engineering team had already done their best given its bulkiness, but unexpectedly, some expert players decided to raise the bar. One player showcased their handmade prototype, transforming the Steam Deck into a device as exquisite and compact as the Game Boy.
·Reddit user PhyFawkes recently showcased their creation, named "SteamBoy," a clear homage to the classic Game Boy handheld. The highlight is that the device currently under development has already taken shape and is truly as compact as the original GB.
·Like other mods by skilled enthusiasts, this project involves cramming all of the Steam Deck's original components, except for the screen, into this tiny casing. However, after seeing the size comparison before and after the modification, many netizens are worried about whether this mod can be successfully completed, and whether such a significant reduction in size will affect the device's performance and heat dissipation.
·The "SteamBoy" is now nearly complete, with ongoing work to adapt it to the handheld's small screen. However, it is already playable via an external monitor, leaving netizens amazed.
