  • Jsaux Launches Front Panels for Steam Machine Screens

    Jsaux Launches Front Panels for Steam Machine Screens

    Key Takeaways

    1. Jsaux plans to launch front panel displays for the Steam Machine, similar to those used at Valve, but not for public sale.
    2. The Steam Machine’s front panel allows for easy swapping with custom designs, making these displays a suitable match.
    3. Pricing and release details are currently unavailable, but the displays may launch soon after or even before the Steam Machine.
    4. Jsaux conducted a poll to determine user preferences for display types and has decided to focus on e-ink and LCD.
    5. The current LCD design may reference the Nintendo GameCube BIOS, given the online “GabeCube” jokes circulating.

    Recently on X/Twitter, Jsaux shared that they are planning to launch one or more front panel displays for the Steam Machine. These displays are similar to what we have seen used at Valve, though they are not meant for public sale. The front panel of the Steam Machine is made to allow for easy swapping with custom designs, making a low-power display that fits these dimensions a perfect match. It’s great to see a manufacturer actually offering pre-made versions instead of leaving it to modders to create everything from scratch.

    Pricing and Release Information

    At this time, details on pricing and when it will launch are not available. However, we don’t think it will take long for the product to come out after the Steam Machine is available. There is even a possibility that it could be released before the Steam Machine itself, although that would be a bit silly. It’s encouraging to witness accessory makers taking the lead on Steam Machine add-ons, especially since there is already a vibrant market for Steam Deck accessories.

    User Preferences

    Before this announcement, Jsaux conducted a poll on their subreddit to find out if users preferred the display to be e-ink, dot matrix, or LCD. From the render shared now, it looks like Jsaux has decided to focus on e-ink and LCD for the Steam Machine displays, although dot matrix does have its own unique charm. The current LCD render reminds us of the very blocky interface of the Nintendo GameCube BIOS and its internal clock/calendar. Given the number of “GabeCube” jokes circulating online, it wouldn’t surprise us if this was a deliberate reference.
