Guy modded his steam deck be as small as possible, with the only intended use to be to play with an external controller and AR glasses.

If you hate your Steam Deck. :D Jokes aside, I am always flabbergasted by the ingenuity and knowledge of extreme modders like him. He has a use case and first it sounded stupid, but after reading a little bit it makes sense for him. I guess there is no solution like this one can buy, right? Or is it too expensive? It just hurts me personally seeing the Deck crippled like that (just jokingly talking here, man I am funny as hell today). But there was some really cheap refurbished old Decks sold on the Steam site.

Interesting project, but not my taste to be honest.

Reminds me of mods like the GameCube Nano. I dunno if it's possible, but it would be kinda cool if someone figured out how to shrink the Deck further.
