Gamer Mods Steam Deck with Spikes and Taser to Stop Family from Draining Battery

A Steam Deck owner, frustrated by family members borrowing the handheld and leaving it with a dead battery, created an extreme anti-sharing modification. The mod includes a 3D-printed spiky case designed in Blender, and a Raspberry Pi system with a camera, speaker, and servo motor that triggers a taser when someone is detected. The device plays a warning audio clip before delivering a shock. The owner, posting on Reddit as ConroyyJenkinss, says the measures have successfully deterred unauthorized use, though removing the case and disarming the taser for personal use is a hassle. The article highlights the lengths some users go to protect their devices from battery drainers.
