Upgrading your Steam Deck? The Handheld DIY back plate promises up to 20% better cooling—but is it worth it? In this review, we unbox, install, and test it against the original and JSAUX plates. With a customizable gamer tag, built-in stand, and thermal pads, it’s packed with features—but there’s a catch! Watch our temperature test in Cyberpunk 2077 to see if it’s the best upgrade for your Deck!
