This Steam Deck Motherboard Case concept has been designed by ColliBoy as an alternative piece of mobile gaming technology that incorporates a number of unexpected attributes. The unit is crafted with a decidedly industrial exterior case that's made out of e-waste to give components that might otherwise be headed to the landfill with a new purpose. The unit is devoid from controls and displays with only the computer and a battery inside with the user needing to utilize AR glasses from Xreal or Rokid to access its functionality.
The Steam Deck Motherboard Case concept is also designed with a large ring in the upper section of one corner that further reinforces its ability to be carried around and even attached to a keychain.
