Steam Deck: KontrolFreeks with Capacitive Touch!
Hey Steam Deckers, I didn’t know there was a bigger Steam Deck community. So I’m sharing my post from the other one: lemmy.world/post/2888070

Want to gain more control using an extension riser such as KontrolFreeks and still keep capaictive touch for gyro aiming and more?
I got a solution for you! I bought this 3d printed clip-on meant for XBOX Series/One. It’s a little loose on the Steam Deck’s joystick; however, that leaves room to put into conductive material to activate the capacitive touch.
I used Greg’s LiveZone | Superior Thumbstick Upgrade - Clips on from his Etsy store. etsy.com/…/livezone-superior-thumbstick-upgrade
At first, I tried it out with aluminum foil and that works. But, it tears easy and is quite slippery.
I bought and used a conductive fabric tape from US Amazon: GENNEL 5mm x 20M (0.2in x 65ft) Conductive Cloth Fabric Adhesive Tape, Faraday Tape for EMI Shielding, Interference Signal Blocking, Laptop Mobilephone LCD Repair, Cable Wire Harness Wrapping
And there you go! More control during aiming and you can still activate gyro.
I hope this helps people
