Valve Open-Sources Inkterface E-Ink Screen With Full BOM for Steam Machine

Summary
Valve has published the complete files, build instructions and bill of materials for its “Inkterface” e-ink display, letting users recreate the screen shown at Valve HQ.
The add-on runs on battery power and appears aimed at the emerging Steam Machine hardware ecosystem rather than a standalone product.
The screen was previously referred to as the “Mango Frunk,” likely a nod to MangoHud, before Valve adopted the Inkterface name.
Jsaux is already developing a non-DIY version, suggesting Valve’s open-source release could spur third-party accessories around its new hardware push.
