These aftermarket Steam Deck D-pads are the stuff of nightmares.

Maybe I’m just feeling a little biased after a wasp fell out of my bath towel and stung the undersides of both my feet this morning, but these replacement Steam Deck D-pads with real dead bugs are sending shivers up my spine. As spotted by Polygon, they’re made by Deckbuttons with an MSRP of $49.99, but they’re currently out of stock. Good.
