JSAUX has announced a new lineup of replacement front panels for the Steam Machine game console, giving users more options to customize the appearance and functionality of their systems. The company plans to release three different versions of the front panel replacements, including models with monochrome e-ink displays, color e-ink displays, and dot matrix screens.
The new accessories are designed to add an information display to the front of the Steam Machine, allowing users to view different types of system data without relying on external software. According to JSAUX, the panels will support features such as date display, weather information, and real-time hardware monitoring.
The three versions are expected to target users with different preferences:
- Monochrome e-ink display version: This model uses a simple black-and-white e-ink panel designed for displaying basic information while consuming minimal power.
- Color e-ink display version: This option adds color support for users who want more visual customization. The displayed area appears to occupy only a small section of the front panel, while the rest of the design includes three buttons and a knob-like structure.
- Dot matrix display version: This version uses a traditional dot matrix-style screen, likely aimed at users who prefer a more retro-inspired appearance for their gaming setup.
JSAUX has not yet confirmed the full functions of the additional buttons and knob found on the color e-ink version. It remains unclear whether these parts will provide controls for changing display settings, adjusting system functions, or simply serve as design elements.
The company has previously released various gaming accessories, including products focused on Steam Deck users and PC gaming setups. These Steam Machine front panel replacements follow a similar approach by combining hardware customization with additional functionality.
JSAUX has not announced the pricing or exact release dates for the three front panel models yet. More details about availability and supported features are expected as the launch date approaches.
