The cable is from Temu? Lol, it’s the cable. Case solved.

I used a regular hairdryer (with one of the heads that focuses the airflow) on the medium setting. The rest of the tools I just used what came with the new case-- it comes with a big locking suction cup and some thin plastic cards (think credit cards but thinner) for sliding under the edge of the screen to separate the adhesive.

My deck is for indies, old games and mid-tier games. AAA games tend to suck anyway lol

Everyone knows you can customize controls per-game, yet a lot of people don’t realize you can also change the desktop controls. The settings are only available within steam in desktop mode. For example I switched which triggers do right & left click. Also by default the trackpad scrolls in a circle, you can change this to up and down.
