EnglishWhat Is Steam-Deck-Guide and What Information Does It Offer?
Updated
Steam-Deck-Guide (main.steamdeck.guide) is an independent, educational guide site about the Steam Deck and available modifications. It is not associated with Valve, and the site states plainly that modifying your device may void your warranty. Use it as a starting point for understanding hardware and software changes; treat any procedure you find there as something you follow at your own risk, since the site itself says the guide may contain mistakes and that you are responsible for your own device.
Who runs it and how it's funded
The project is maintained by NKkrisz and hosted as a GitHub repository. The site says none of its links are affiliated and none were included because of external payment. Support is voluntary through a Ko-fi page; the stated goals for donations are buying more expensive hardware for testing and modifying things, getting a second used or faulty LCD Deck for tinkering, and getting an OLED Deck for further documentation. That matters for readers because it tells you the guide's testing is tied to hardware the maintainer actually has on hand, not a lab.
What the site covers
The homepage is organized into a small set of sections:
| Section | What you'll find there |
|---|---|
| Start Here! – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) | Orientation material for newcomers before diving into guides |
| Hardware Guides and Information | Guides and reference material on physical modifications and hardware topics |
| Software Guides and Information | Guides and information on software-side changes |
| Credits and Sources / Contribute / GitHub Repository | Provenance for the content, how to report mistakes or request removal, and the source repository |
| How to Support the Project | The Ko-fi donation link and what donations are used for |
The site also invites corrections: if you spot a mistake, or you own content referenced in the repository and want it removed, you're asked to contact NKkrisz.
How to decide whether to rely on it
This is a community-style reference, not official Valve documentation. Two practical checks before you follow any procedure:
- Confirm your model. The project's own funding notes distinguish LCD and OLED Decks, so check that a guide matches your hardware revision before acting on it.
- Weigh the warranty warning. Because the site states modifications may void your warranty, decide in advance whether you're willing to accept that trade-off for the specific change you're considering.
If you want official compatibility and warranty information, go to Valve's own materials; use Steam-Deck-Guide for the educational, modification-oriented context it's explicitly written to provide.
