PlayVital Back Button Enhancement Set for Steam Deck LCD, Grip Improvement Button Protection Kit for Steam Deck OLED - 2 Different Thickness

I’ve had these on my steam deck for a couple months now and I really love it and I am glad that I got it. It has made me use the back buttons on my steam deck a lot more and definitely makes it more comfortable and accessible as someone with small hands. Great quality, & have not fallen off. I definitely recommend.

This was something I badly needed and had been waiting for. I'm not entirely sure why, but the back buttons have always felt awkward to use. Optionally, there is a 3D printable attachment you could get made that snaps on to the back of the Steam Deck and gives the back buttons an extended feel, like the rear buttons on the Steam Controller. I think that's what's been missing - something that made the buttons feel a bit different than just being flush with the back of the Deck.These come in 2 thickness sizes, 4 enhancers each, with multiple pieces of double-sided adhesive, in case you mess up (I messed up once!). They come in a neat little clamshell case with alcohol wipes and a mini microfiber cloth. Step 1 was to take my TPU grip case off and remove the skins I had already placed on the buttons. Step 2, clean and dust the buttons with the alcohol wipes and dry them off with the microfiber cloth. Step 3, pick the desired thickness and position the button enhancers. Step 4, apply the double-sided adhesive to the enhancer. A note I'd like to make is to apply one button at a time. Step 5, place the enhancer on the button. Try to get it right on the first try, because if you try to remove it, the double-sided adhesive can pull off of the enhancer. That's where I messed up! Another note is that the adhesive pieces are mirror images of each other, so it doesn't matter which one you use as long as it matches the shape of the button and enhancer. Step 6, put the case back on, and enjoy!I used the thicker enhancer versions since I have a grip case on it, and let me tell you, there was a huge difference right away! I was able to play Doom 2016 and jump around and chainsaw successfully. The same goes with Team Fortress 2. These enhancers are game changers. They're made out of a nice, grippy, soft rubber that contours perfectly to your finger tips. I would absolutely recommend these to anyone looking to make the back buttons more comfortable and accessible; they're terrific!

Initially I liked these but a couple popped off after about a month, I removed the others and threw them away. To be fair I'm very rough with my steam deck, it gets stuffed in my backpack daily so these might be ok if your steam deck never leaves the living room but for my use these were useless.UpdateI wanted to update my review, while I still don't like the product itself the company did reach out and offer a refund without request. I still stand by the 2 stars for the product but updated to 5 stars for the company and their quick response after writing my initial review!

These are the biggest upgrade to usability I've found for the Steam Deck. They add just enough height to the back buttons to make using them comfortable.Before, I had to stretch my fingers a bit to fully press them, which was pretty uncomfortable. It was my only significant complaint with the Steam Deck's ergonomics, which these have solved.I don't have any concerns about the adhesive loosening. They're sturdy.It is worth mentioning that something about the material of these causes a bit of sweating, which is an extra weird sensation when it's just affecting a couple of your fingers.

As someone who has been using the back buttons on more premium controllers for years, I found the back buttons on the steam deck to be to flush with the body of it. These solve that issue by providing elevated buttons with a stiff textured grip that allows me to both hold & press the buttons down more easily than the stock buttons. I've had these installed on my steam deck for well over a yr and they still hold up really good. At first I waited to write a review to see if they would fall off after some time & then completely forgot, but I've only had to install them once & they have stuck really well. It comes with 2 different sets of different heights which was great as I was able to install the ones I didn't use on my wife's steam deck at the beginning of the year & they are also still holding up well 8 months later. I definitely recommend them & if I ever get another steam deck, I will definitely be buying these again.

The Steam Deck doesn't have the best ergonomics for using the back buttons out of the box, but this fixed the entire issue for me. I can finally stop death gripping my Deck just to keep a hold on the back buttons. It does take a bit of getting used to and practice to place the glue strips well, but there's extras in the box so one or two messups is completely fine!

I bought these back grips over a year ago, and from experience, these back button grips are solid. The adhesive lasts a long while and ensures that these grips stay on firmly, and with the extra adhesive pads, you can easily replace them when they get a bit too gummy. The grips are great for comfort during normal use of the Steam Deck and also ensure ease of access of the back buttons in the cases that they need to be used. I highly recommend these if you find the back buttons on the Steam Deck to be a little too flush to use properly.
