Reply to comment by WilyDeject in Framework now sells 2TB Steam Deck upgrade drives. by SUPRVLLAN
Panel swaps to add touchscreens have existed for decades, however it requires a viable data connector on the motherboard

The usb-c ports are semi internal, so doable with a tiny physical modification there. Display is normal DisplayPort afaik.

Just do it wirelessly via Bluetooth (not sure it's possible, would probably be absolutely terrible lol)

Hm, actually maybe not. Can get power from display, and people use Bluetooth mice etc. Some "laptops" come with Bluetooth keyboards.
Overall probably better than USB as long as you can fit the electronics.

I have a lapdock with a bluetooth wireless touchscreen. it works pretty well
nexdock.com if you're curious

Interesting, so it's like the old Motorola Atrix thing (if I'm recalling correctly) where it's a empty/dummy laptop until you attach it to a phone?
Hey_look_new t1_j814uqi wrote
yes, exactly like the motorola Atrix/Bionic lapdocks
single USB-C cable between lapdock and phone/steam deck/laptop/ps5/switch/etc
Nexdock makes a few different versions, as does UPERFECT.
they're a perfect complement to the steam deck
just as an example

Interesting. Separate power I'd assume. Do me a favor? Stop tempting me to spend more money, would ya? ha ha
Hey_look_new t1_j8167xg wrote
most lapdocks have a battery built in. they won't charge the steam deck very well tho
the nexpad tho (the screen at the top in the pic) doesn't have a battery at all, so does full pass thru power to the steam deck....
so deck charger into nexpad, usb-c to usb-c from nexpad to steam deck, and you're off to the races
what I've got pictured tho is nexpad + nexpad360 wireless
so I'm using a GaN charger (100w) with USB power to the nexpad (and onto the steam deck) and then another USB lead to the nexdock360w
then steam deck then connects to the nexdock360w wirelessly, with miracast for video, and bluetooth for the keyboard/trackpad/touchscreen
it's a really decent experience, tbh

IIRC the Framework has a touchscreen connector just in case, but don't quote me on that.

I have quoted you.
Because you're correct. It does.

The screen connector on the Mobo is already one that supports touch panels. I think Framework expected it to be a future option, they just haven't got to making it a reality.
