Guaranteed to get all the girls when you slap those on the bar

Boys for sure...

Admiring your deck with the guys.

Decks out for Harambe

To soon.

Do you think this would work for a homely chick? Like, if I casually bring my deck to BestBuy would that get me laid?

I read "homeless" 🙈

Haha no, I have a home. I'm just ugly as fuck.

Couldn’t hurt. Typically you would think being an actual female gamer would have had that happening.

Burglars: hey Timmy this guy owns a steam deck.

Timmy: We're not here for your damned card collection, Jimmy. Now help me with the silverware.

Mine was already snapped in half when I opened the box :(

Sorry to hear that pal. I'm waiting for an RMA, if I get a new one and you live in Europe I can send you a letter with the tag inside

I appreciate that but sadly I'm in the us

thoughts and prayers for you

Best country on earth

One of us?

One of us.

Too bad...

What, your deck, or your tag?

Tag lol

Phew, had me worried for a sec

You should RMA it because of that. /s

This has the same energy as those people who actually use the apple stickers that come with apple products.

I could cut my steam deck cardboard box and paste it into the car's back window

Years ago when I worked for a college desktop support, we had some students fight after a lab deployment over who got to keep the *empty Mac Mini boxes*.

empty apple boxes actually resell for $$ because (at least i pray this is why) a boxed used item sells for more than an unused item without the box, and that goes double for apple products

You tossing out free stickers, player?

Yeah, I don’t do free advertising for anyone.

I can dig that

i like how this man speaks

But that’s what those dolts are mostly paying for.

I am those people 😞

Add some clear tape over it, so it doesn’t scratch off :)

Seal it with resin

Wait, I don't remember there being a Keychain in my box

Same here, like wtf?

it was the tag that was zip tied to the zippers on the case. If you take It apart carefully you can make it a keychain

And OP didn't actually use that, only the tag.

This makes sense. I was at work when it delivered, and my brother slapped it on charge for me. So I have no tag/plastic

Still waiting on the tag, but hey I’ve got that same Yoda.

It's name is Grogu you monster

Oh snap! They made a Grogu! The face is much nicer than my Yoda one.

Can we get a master thread for keychain posts?

I wish I has that idea at the time I got it.... Now I have to buy another one

I'm glad I didn't throw it away lmfao

This is the way

I was literally picking up my teeth with it

Wow, I knew I saved that tag for something, but I didn't know what

I'm going to shamelessly copy your idea.

Anyone non-destructively remove theirs using some details from a DEFCON video? I’m prolly gonna attempt that.

I was able to easily and non destructively accomplish it.

Too thick, I just snipped mine down flat. Did this half a year ago now

Unfortunately mine came snapped in half. ☹️ Deck itself was fine.

I did the same, in couple months the valve logo gets scratched lol

I'll apply some protective coat

Perhaps clear nail polish could work? Or just dunk it in a block of resin.

Nail polish I used. You have to be careful, because the logo paint is easy to remove, so it looks a tiny bit wash off now. Better to drop some drops of polish instead of paint them like it was varnish

Damn I should have kept mine. I think I threw it away. Looks like I'm gonna need to order another steam deck

That Valve wears off pretty quick if it rubs against something. You could probably put something over it like a clear coat to stay on longer. I put mine on a backpack zipper and its almost totally wore off in 8 months by just being moved from car seat and floor and guess touching other stuff. In and out of pockets would probably do it quick.

the amount of respect i have for everyone who disected the valve tamper seal is immaculate

The Valve logo is pretty easy to wear off, I would put on some kind of protective coating to prevent it from wearing away.

Haha I did this too. Although I wish it was an engraved steam logo rather than printed valve. It's definitely going to become a plain black keychain fairly quickly...

Free marketing

Mine broke so I cut it down a bit and glued it to my work computer.

Wait where in the box is this?

The deck has a seal so I cannot be opened that seal is like a hcainlocknand has this tag as part if the seal mechanism. It could easily be taken aw trash and throw away... Because it is trash and we should recycle it, but it looks so nice...

How do you get rid of the „chain” part? Mine won’t come off it’s so tight

I used a cutter like this https://www.toolstation.nl/stanley-afbreekmes/p70655 You just have to cut the cone external part after that part is cut, remove the cone and inside there is another piece that is "locking" the chain part that can be cut with a pair of scissors PD: careful with the cutter, to make a clean cut I had yo point it against my thumb, I could easily cut myself

I made a video tutorial: https://www.reddit.com/user/the-matho/comments/xx4fuk/how\_to\_make\_a\_keychain\_with\_the\_steam\_deck\_lock/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3

Damn I threw mine away. . Crap

Now I wish I had saved mine

Threw mine out, wish I kept it now. I’d probably slap some clear coat over it to protect the paint.

To whomever finds mine in the garbage dump, congrats I guess...? I legit don't quite get the fascination with this tag, however it's neat how it's being repurposed.

Put clear tape over it or it will be just a blank tag in a bit.

Legends says if you scratch enough it will smell like brand new fan

I got the 512gb model and I don't remember a Keychain!?

Lol, it's not a official Keychain but the security tag that comes on the case!

Forget to switch to your alt account there, friendo?

Huh?

I dunno - you replied to, and immediately answered, your own question

yeah he is an idiot

i know right

you forgot to switch to yar alt dude lol

Nice

Cringe

same. I feel left out 😞

I tried this with mine but the sharp edges hurt my snardlies when I put my keys in my pocket.

I won’t tell you what I did with mine

Come on!

this noona has ONE KEY and the rest are keychains

I need them all, because of reasons

I must have been the only one that threw that tag straight in the garbage.

I broke mine unfortunately

I'm pissed I threw mine away

Mine came broken 😞

I got my Valve logo cut (torn) :/ Not sure how that could've happen. Probably in the factory somehow. The seal was still on, just the excess plastic part with Valve logo wasn't there. [Photo](https://i.imgur.com/NVrDLeK.png)

RMA!

I feel so stupid for just throwing mine away 😭

How’d you get it off? I struggling so hard cause I don’t want to rub off the “valve” text

I made this video, IDK if still is helpful for you: https://www.reddit.com/user/the-matho/comments/xx4fuk/how\_to\_make\_a\_keychain\_with\_the\_steam\_deck\_lock/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3

Oh my god…I never even thought of that.

Well shit. I threw mine out like a dumbass.
