Valve’s Steam Deck may be the more affordable option for gamers, or at least compared to full-fledged PCs, but what if you could create a handheld console with similar features? Cass Designs accomplished the latter by 3D-printing the case and using two Xbox 360 controllers connected to each other, while a Raspberry Pi 4 compute module is connected to a 7-inch touchscreen.
After connecting the two controllers, the biggest obstacle was then to create a chassis for the console, and that required modifying the back shell of an Xbox 360 controller. Cass Designs took one, cut it in half, and made the necessary adjustments to fit all the hardware into a somewhat sleek package. What he ended up with was a dedicated handheld powered by Raspberry Pi OS and could run all Linux games compatible with an ARM processor, along with Valve Steam Link.
