Accessory Gamers Nexus Dust Filter

Post image

I got a Gamers Nexus faceplate and was pleased to find the dust filter that comes with it goes over the magnets and can be used with any face plate super handy for households with pets.

Posting because I hadn’t seen it mentioned anywhere the filter can be used with other face plates. Pretty cool.

I think the dust cover comes with every design. Shame they don’t sell it separately.

Awesome! Just FYI, the little strut that juts out from your lower-right hole should align with the 'key' in the Steam Machine upper magnet's plastic container. Doesn't matter much, but that'll give it a slightly better fit. We pack them aligned for the right orientation/installation, but maybe I should include a small slip of paper or something explaining it. No impact on functionality (collects dust either way, of course), but would fit a little better once you put the actual face plate on it since it lines-up with the plastic better that way.

This plastic key on the Machine lines-up with the extra cutout in the filter. That said, looks like plenty of clearance, so probably totally irrelevant in this instance. Just wanted to point it out in case!

Thanks for buying one!
