Razer has added a pair of new Steam Deck skins to its growing roster of custom coverings. While they don’t have the most appetizing names, the new Sludge and Acid Sludge styles look pretty fetching in the images Razer has released.
The Steam Deck already has a massive range of accessories, of course, with the best gaming handheld getting plenty of love thanks to its popularity. Razer’s skins were originally launched in 2023, with the ones for the Steam Deck now totaling nine different ones. However, you’ll need to make sure you have an LCD model, as the Razer skins only support that version right now (model 1010).
Razer produces its skins with 3M Cast Vinyl, producing a solid and protective surface around your Deck. At the moment the two seem to have had their images swapped over by accident on the site, so be sure you’re clicking the right one if you plan to pick one up.
Both Steam Deck skins have a price of $34.99, which is a little more than the usual $20 JSAUX branded skins available. Instead, Razer’s pricing puts them more in line with dbrand’s massive array of coverings, which start at around $29.95. This is due to the same materials being used.
The Steam Deck has been a massive hit since it launched in 2022. Unlike most manufacturers, Razer hasn’t released its own competitor. It did try to make a splash in the Android space with the Razer Edge, but despite good reviews, it never took off.
Razer isn’t leaving out its other offerings either. The Sludge styles are also hitting the Razer Kitsune and Wolverine Pro V3 controllers, as well as both original PS5 consoles. All three Nintendo Switch editions will get the skin too, but only the Lite will have the full wrap-around. OLED and original Switch owners will have to settle for the dock and Joycons to sport the acid look.
The Wolverine Pro V3 also gets a more grounded look, with Carbon Fiber, Pearlescent, Dark Hive, and Black Camo skins also launching.
As we said, the Steam Deck already has a ton of accessories. One that no player should be without is a dock, so be sure to check out the best Steam Deck Docks.
