Disgruntled gamer builds booby-trapped Steam Deck with 3D-printed spikes and a built-in taser — Raspberry Pi powers speaker, camera, and alarm to stop family members draining his battery

A Steam Deck owner built a custom anti-sharing mod with a spiked 3D-printed shell and a Raspberry Pi-based alarm system.

The setup uses a camera, speaker, and servo-triggered taser to scare off anyone who tries to touch the handheld.

The creator says it has successfully kept family members from borrowing the device and draining its battery, but it is awkward to remove for normal use.

The unusual DIY project, shared on Reddit, raises safety and privacy concerns because it adds weapon-like features to consumer hardware.
