JSAUX launch the E-Ink and Pixel Matrix Faceplates for Steam Machine

More Steam Machine modding customization is here, with the launch of the JSAUX E-Ink and Pixel Matrix Faceplates.

JSAUX mentioned today they've shipped out some samples to GamingOnLinux, so I'm hoping to take a proper look at them soon. Sadly, the controller they previously sent to us had an issue with customs, so they'll be resending it for review.

From the press release: “We designed these faceplates to do more than change the look of Steam Machine,” said Winnie Chen, Marketing Communications Manager at JSAUX GAMING. “They give the front of the system a new role—part personal design statement, part information display.”

More about each of them:

E-Ink Faceplate: Clear Information, Clean Visuals

The 5.83-inch E-Ink Faceplate features a 640 × 480 monochrome display, Bluetooth connectivity, and a built-in 500mAh battery.

The JSAUX E-INK APP provides eight display modes: Time, Weather, Calendar, Performance, Playtime, Progress, Digital Frame, and AI Agent Status. Users can choose the information they want to display or use the Digital Frame mode for static content such as game artwork, pixel art, personal photos, and retro-inspired designs.

The AI Agent Status mode displays the status of supported AI applications running on Steam Machine, giving users a quick view of what is running and how it is progressing.

Pixel Matrix Faceplate: Colorful Motion, Real-Time Feedback

The 7-inch Pixel Matrix Faceplate brings a full-color RGB display with a 64 × 54-pixel matrix to the front of Steam Machine. It supports static images, GIFs, and real-time content updates.

Through the JSAUX PIXEL APP, users can switch between eight modes: Dashboard, Hardware, Weather, Clock, Playtime, Countdown, Chronograph, and Custom. The app gives users flexible control over what appears on the panel.

A slim, flat USB-C cable with a right-angle connector follows Steam Machine’s profile for a clean, integrated look.

Both faceplates are controlled through their companion apps. The official Steam Machine Faceplate App Installation Guide provides dedicated setup instructions for the E-Ink and Pixel Matrix models.

JSAUX GAMING also plans to make the companion software available through Steam in the future, giving users a more convenient way to install and update it.
