Full studio tour at 500k subs? Also, thanks for the feedback re: JSAUX and Skull & Co grips, those flew under my radar. I just bought them and will test them when they arrive!
-
I've been playing on my Steam Deck all day and my wife told me to get a grip so I bought one. She's thoughtful like that bless her.
-
So dbrand reached out to you and you said "Nah man, I don't wanna do it"?

Love this new style of video Russ. A very natural feeling, off-the-cuff review. And don't even feel obligated for the cuts and edits. I personally prefer the more personal feeling videos that have the bumps, mistakes and your thoughts. It adds to the authenticity of the video. Going forward would love more videos like this.
-
It amazes me that despite being not only a pro but feasibly the best at what he does, Russ still does have those doubts or maybe insecurities at taking that next step at his game. I mean, production values are at the roof but he still worries about quality and doing it the right way. It's inspiring!
-
Love the experimentation with the format and especially taking a look at all these different options for grips! I just bought my killswitch a couple days ago, but I’m glad to see that there’s quite a few options out there as well! Keep up the good work, always love seeing your videos on my feed!
-
I use the JSAUX Mod case. I'm a lil bit disappointed that you didn't try that case (but I understand if JSAUX didn't reach out and send you one to review). I think it is the best bang for your buck case for the Steam Deck, especially since it can come with many different accessories and the case is moddable. Cheaper than the Killswitch.

1:33 getting solid relationship advice in a review video 😂
-
I've been using the Jsaux Mod Case since I got my deck and it fills all my needs and then some
-
The skull and co grip is pretty nice. They have a coyote gray color which looks really nice on my current steam deck.
-
This is a great format! Very complete evaluations of a ton if case options, easy to jump around thanks to distinct sections and chapters, and more "authentic" feeling feedback thanks to the second cam you talk into
-
I boot up Emulation Station, start a video slideshow and use a kickstand to prop it up and have a little show of games clips. So awesome to do when working at a desk.
-
I've been happy with the JSAUX ModCase. Surprised to not see it in this video.
-
7:45 that is cool way to record. Love it how you always find something new to improve !
-
Love the video setup! Seems you feel ready to open up! 🎉 Good luck in your further journey!
-
Great video! This was a great video format! I like the more relaxed feel of it. I haven't used a grip with my Steam Deck yet, so it is nice to see the variety of grips on the market currently! Honestly, Russ just seems like the type of genuinely nice guy you'd want to just hang with, grab a beer, and talk gaming all afternoon! 😆
-
What a great Review! Crazy how much details you give and examples, I don't own any of these but the way how you describe them makes it easy to imagine.
-
The side view was very nice being able to see the profile of the products. Especially on those thumb sticks, you could really tell how tall they were!
-
I'm surprised to not see the Skull&Co grip case here, it's better than most of these tbh.
