Excellent enhancement that I was looking for!
This was something I badly needed and had been waiting for. I'm not entirely sure why, but the back buttons have always felt awkward to use. Optionally, there is a 3D printable attachment you could get made that snaps on to the back of the Steam Deck and gives the back buttons an extended feel, like the rear buttons on the Steam Controller. I think that's what's been missing - something that made the buttons feel a bit different than just being flush with the back of the Deck.These come in 2 thickness sizes, 4 enhancers each, with multiple pieces of double-sided adhesive, in case you mess up (I messed up once!). They come in a neat little clamshell case with alcohol wipes and a mini microfiber cloth. Step 1 was to take my TPU grip case off and remove the skins I had already placed on the buttons. Step 2, clean and dust the buttons with the alcohol wipes and dry them off with the microfiber cloth. Step 3, pick the desired thickness and position the button enhancers. Step 4, apply the double-sided adhesive to the enhancer. A note I'd like to make is to apply one button at a time. Step 5, place the enhancer on the button. Try to get it right on the first try, because if you try to remove it, the double-sided adhesive can pull off of the enhancer. That's where I messed up! Another note is that the adhesive pieces are mirror images of each other, so it doesn't matter which one you use as long as it matches the shape of the button and enhancer. Step 6, put the case back on, and enjoy!I used the thicker enhancer versions since I have a grip case on it, and let me tell you, there was a huge difference right away! I was able to play Doom 2016 and jump around and chainsaw successfully. The same goes with Team Fortress 2. These enhancers are game changers. They're made out of a nice, grippy, soft rubber that contours perfectly to your finger tips. I would absolutely recommend these to anyone looking to make the back buttons more comfortable and accessible; they're terrific!

Awesome enhancement for the Steam Deck. Definitely recommend
I had a little trouble getting the stickers to work because the room to pull off the backside is so small, but once I did that, I was set. They give you plenty of backup stickers too (double what you need) so no issue there. The back buttons are very useful in games but I’ve always found them a little awkward to press so at times I’ve found myself taking my thumb off the right stick and reaching for the face buttons even when I shouldn’t. These grips change that. They feel great and add slightly to the ergonomics of the Deck as a whole since it’s easier to rest my fingers on the back. It all comes in a small pouch too so you can store the extra button and sticker set very easily. Everything I could ask for really. Definitely recommend them if you’re experiencing similar difficulties with the Deck’s buttons. Most of the other products similar to this are just stickers to make them more grippy or add texture, but this makes them actually easier to press.

Simple, perfect.
They literally just make your back buttons bigger and more tactile. Super cheap, super easy to slap on, much easier to find the buttons now (since they're not flush with the back anymore). Also, bonus! The Steam Deck still fits perfectly in the case.

Works great, application sucks
I have large hands and found that the back buttons on my steam deck were too shallow to use comfortably most of the time. I used the smaller grip attachments and they make it SO much more comfortable, I can actually use the back buttons regularly now.Unfortunately, putting them on was a major pain. I read that the adhesive was separate from the rubber pieces in another review, but I didn't think it was a big deal since I'm not too bad at lining things up. The problem is that the adhesive strips don't stick to the rubber. Not even a little bit. I'd recommend applying the adhesive to the buttons on your deck first and then the rubber pieces on top of that, because trying to put the adhesive on the rubber first was an impossible task. I'd peel one side of the adhesive off, apply it to the rubber and then rub it to get rid of air bubbles and the like, but no matter how hard I pressed or how long I rubbed, when I tried to peel the cover for the other side of the adhesive, it'd come up from the rubber. This made placing it on the buttons really difficult, and readjusting even more so. Luckily, they seem to stick pretty well once you get them on, though the edges on a couple of them can peel up if you come at them at a weird angle and I have one that's raised a bit due to the adhesive folding over.I'd recommend them as they made the back buttons usable for me, but be aware they're uber annoying to apply.

Useful buttons
The default steam deck back buttons are sometimes difficult to press because they’re not very tall when you hold. These adhesive bits makes them quite easy and comfortable to press! Simple, does what it says it will do, I’m pleased

Inconsistent
There's a lot of variation in size within each set, but they're comfortable and the texture feels nice.They do make the buttons easier to press, and they remind me to use them.

So good you'll wonder why Valve didn't do it!
To me the steam deck is perfect in every way except for the joysticks and back buttons, which are both good but not great. Thankfully there's an easy fix to both of these, and this product solves one of them beautifully!I used the thinner ones on the top and thicker ones on the bottom because I find that the top buttons were never as annoying to press as the bottom ones. The rubber is soft but solid to press and the grips are great, overall everything feels nice about these and its definitely way easier to use the deck now, this is how it should have always been.With these and a spigen case I still have no issue putting the deck in its original carrying case which is a nice bonus.Installation was super easy and the nano tape is very cool, allowing you to reapply if you need to adjust.I don't understand why it came in the case it did though? I can't deny that it's nice but I won't use it for anything and I feel like that thing cost more than the grips themselves... The price of these is already expensive for what you get

Mai più senza.
Rendono super accessibili i tasti posteriori, top prodotto con buoni materiali e solidi sticker per tenere i tasti incollati al Deck. Sono 2 set di tasti, un set meno spesso e uno più spesso.

Comodidad.
Un producto bueno que cumple con lo que promete, el diseño es óptimo y cómodo. Pensé que se despegarian al poco tiempo pero aún siguen en su sitio sin ningún problema.
