Turn Your Steam Machine’s Front Panel into a Custom Display

Steam Machine’s front panel is the first thing you see when it sits on your desk. We wanted to give that space a little more character and a more useful role.

Our E-Ink Faceplate and Pixel Matrix Faceplate use Steam Machine’s magnetic front-panel design to bring information, images, and motion to the front of your system. Each one creates a different feel for your setup.

 

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 includes modes for time, weather, calendar, performance, playtime, progress, Digital Frame content, and AI Agent Status. Keep useful information in view, or display game artwork, pixel art, and personal photos on the front of your Steam Machine.

The AI Agent Status mode gives you a quick view of activity from supported AI-agent workflows running on the system.

 

Pixel Matrix Faceplate: Colorful Motion, Real-Time Feedback

The 7-inch Pixel Matrix Faceplate brings a 64 × 54 full-color RGB matrix to the front of Steam Machine.

The JSAUX PIXEL APP includes Dashboard, Hardware, Weather, Clock, Playtime, Countdown, Chronograph, and Custom modes. Choose a preset display, add a GIF, or load your own pixel artwork when you want your setup to feel more alive.

Pixel Matrix connects through USB-C for power and display updates. Its flat cable and right-angle connector keep the connection close to Steam Machine’s profile.

Bold shapes, strong contrast, pixel art, and animation work especially well on the display. Detailed photos take on a more graphic, pixelated look.

Made for the Way You Play

A front panel can change the feel of a system without changing the rest of your desk. E-Ink keeps the look focused and information easy to glance at. Pixel Matrix brings color, movement, and a stronger pixel-art character.

The latest software and setup instructions for both faceplates are available in the Steam Machine Faceplate App Installation Guide.
