The same website makes metal buttons, resin buttons with real bugs inside, and more. Overall it's not really anything I'm personally interested, but I love that the deck has enough support, and is tinker friendly enough, that stuff like this is even an option.

Rip the poor bugs. Leave them in their habitat folks.

I was curious if they were using farmed bugs or something else

From the page for the bug Dpads:

Rest assured, no creepy crawlies were harmed in creating these unique dpads – each bug was respectfully collected after natural passing, discovered in serene settings like windowsills, tangled in spider webs, or peacefully outdoors. These DPADs are not just gaming accessories; they're a tribute to the beauty of nature, combined with the thrill of Halloween! 🕷🍂

I really wonder how they'd consistently source that, but mostly I just hope I never ever hear about it again.

I mean, custom steam deck resin buttons containing insects is probably niche enough not to have to source many of them.

Stealing food from spiders? Not cool man! Stick with candy from babies.

Whoops that was a typo. Stones, I love getting stones.

Wow, talking about Rock and Stone!

[–] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 months ago

Rock and roll and stone!

These must feel chilly to the touch, sounds super nice.

...resin buttons with real bugs inside...

You completely lost me there. Don't come looking or I will torch the place with a lighter.

As an avid bug hater (creepy crawlies are not for me, ever), I would never use something like that. The metal and stone buttons? Yeah, maybe, depending on price, but definitely not the bug resin buttons.
