Back Button Enhancement

I have had them, a month shy of a year. I can absolutely say they've been amazing! Really good! I've been playing all sorts of things, sometimes the back pedals replace the shoulder buttons, sometimes the thumbstick buttons, sometimes they are completely different buttons. After almost a year of playing with them, I came across a game where I would PREDOMINANTLY use the back pedals for ease, as the mechanic was quite hard to perform with the shoulder buttons. The heat transferred from my finger to the rubber and then rubber to the glue strip, melted the glue strip causing this gunk to gather around the buttons as you can see in the video. I tried cleaning it off, but that didn't help. After the extension pads are warmed up by your fingers, the buttons slide around a lot. This is NOT a problem as you can just remove the old bit of glue with some 99% ISO and apply the second pack of glue strips provided. What IS a problem though is that there weren't enough glue strips provided and I may have to cut some out of another double sided tape. Should be fine. All in all, this is cheap and awesome, and the pros massively out weight the slight inconvenience of the cons. Buy with confidence!

The button enhancers work really well. It makes the back buttons a lot easier to use but don't hurt the look. They're durable and they haven't moved since I put them in and used the steam deck. They fit perfectly and the 2 sizes let you choose between a bit of a raise or higher raise. I choose the thickest ones and, at least for me, made using the steam deck easier for me.

I rarely leave Amazon reviews but this is a simple cost effective solution to the poor back buttons on the deck that just works. They feel 10x better with these. I went with installing the thicker set - they feel solid and good quality. Installed without issue, just took about 5 mins. They look seamless and make all the back buttons just feel miles better to press. I'd genuinely recommend these to anyone with a Deck, they're great.

This adhesive extension is just great! It changes how your fingers lay on the back paddles so that it seems much easier to press them by extending the height of the back paddle buttons. Also, with these, the back paddle is much more distinct from everything else in the back, making it easier to "feel" the button. The original Steam Deck paddle buttons are meant to be "pressed downwards" and not "gripped pressed", however, the way the original buttons conform to the Steam Deck grip, it makes so that we tend to "grip press" them, but with this adhesive rubber extension, you naturally tend to "press down" instead. That's great! I really recommend it to anyone not happy with the original back paddle buttons. PS: I even tried the JSAUX transparent back plate with its alternative paddle buttons, but this was a much better solution, by far! The JSAUX creates a very undesirable "travel" before the click...

I just wanted to share my thoughts on the PlayVital Back Button Enhancement Set for the Steam Deck LCD and Grip Improvement Button Protection Kit for the Steam Deck OLED. After using these products for some time now, I have to say that I am truly impressed by the quality and functionality they provide. The back button enhancement set has really taken my gaming experience to the next level on the Steam Deck LCD. It's so much more comfortable and ergonomic now, allowing me to play for longer periods without any discomfort. And let me tell you about the grip improvement button protection kit for the Steam Deck OLED - it's an absolute game-changer. The different thickness options ensure a perfect fit and the added protection gives me peace of mind while gaming on the go. Overall, I highly recommend these products to anyone looking to enhance their Steam Deck gaming experience. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. If you have any questions or need more details, feel free to ask. Happy gaming!

My first order arrived as an empty Amazon box, in which case Amazon seems to push you to contact the seller first. I contacted them twice, first through their web form and again by email, but never received a response from them. So if you have issues, don't expect any support. In the end I asked Amazon for a refund which was automatically given, then re-ordered. Other than the awful customer service the buttons are decent. I didn't find application as difficult as I'd read here. It certainly wasn't super easy and took a little patience, but as long as you have that and some finger nails I'd say you're not going to struggle. It may be better if the stickers were pre-applied to the buttons, but I think the issue lies with the tape used and how thin the adhesive strip actually is. I applied the tape to the deck buttons first which gave me a hard surface to peel the other side from and I imagine it would be much more challenging to remove if applied to the flexible rubber first, which may be why they don't come that way.

This product is terrible. The adhesive stickers that are supplied do not stick to the rubber pads. They fall off within a few minutes. Save your money and do not buy these.

These make the back buttons on the steam deck usable for me! If you're finding them hard to use, please get these, they're definitely worth it. Easy to stick on.

Un producto bueno que cumple con lo que promete, el diseño es óptimo y cómodo. Pensé que se despegarian al poco tiempo pero aún siguen en su sitio sin ningún problema.

Despite the seller saying there is only one set of stickers included, I decided to give this a shot because it would be easy enough to cut out carpet tape if necessary. Fortunately that isn't necessary, as there are actually four sheets included (so you have four tries to get this right, or can share with a friend). That communication issue aside, I'm really quite impressed on the presentation...zipper case with mesh that can be repurposed for who knows what (I'm putting my USB charge adapter and joystick caps in there for now, but it would also fit ear buds and a charging cable quite easily). The adhesive is 3M and it grips very well to the SD button. Getting the backing off of something that is precision cut is a little challenging - I suggest you find a pair of fine tweezers or a hobby knife and poke at the corners until you find one that wants to lift. It's not that difficult. The buttons are a soft rubber and I'm finding the slimmer ones to be just enough to get access to those troublesome buttons. They do grip to the adhesive, although given how smooth the grip surface is, it can easily be peeled off, as well. I took the tip of a sharp knife and lightly scored a hatch pattern on the back of the button in hopes of giving it a little more something to grip onto. I expect this will be fine, but I do see the possibility of the buttons coming off through regular use. Perhaps that's why they included that really nice carry case :). Removing the adhesive from the button is really easy. Just press with a finger or thumb and roll it from the edge. Overall, I think this is an excellent product. It would be a 6/5 if the buttons could be engineered to stick a little better. But at this price, I'm not complaining!

Upon my initial order, the stickers were difficult to separate from their backing and the bumpers did not stay on the buttons, despite following instructions closely. HOWEVER, I sent a quick email to the seller and they responded very quickly and had a new set shipped out immediately. The new set works like a charm. The bumpers make the buttons easier to grip and there are two different grip patterns to choose from. They are comfortable during extended play sessions. They are also relatively easy to install if you go slow and align the stickers and bumpers so they aren’t crooked.

Ces boutons arrière sont tout simplement fantastiques ! La qualité de fabrication est excellente, avec une prise en main agréable et une finition noire qui s'accorde parfaitement avec mon Steam Deck OLED. J'apprécie particulièrement les deux épaisseurs différentes, qui permettent de personnaliser l'expérience selon ses préférences. L'installation est facile et rapide, et une fois en place, les boutons ajoutent une nouvelle dimension au gameplay. Si vous cherchez à améliorer votre Steam Deck, ces boutons sont un must-have !

sehr gut. must have. Das Steam Deck wird dadurch aufgewertet und ist bequemer zu bedienen. Hält Bomben fest !!!
