These are the BEST STEAM DECK ACCESSORIES that are available in June 2023. I tried so many accessories, you have no idea, and most of them are horrible. Here are some from companies I trust and think could benefit most people.
NOTE - The Jsaux Modcase does not use any magnets to hold the powerbank, it simply uses the provided strap - sorry for the confusion.
Disclaimer: Some of the items in the video were provided from the companies as a review unit - no exchange of money was done and no guarantee of a good review was promised, this is a no tolerance policy I have with companies who reach out to me, and will continue to have in the future.

Note: I made an oopsie woopsie when talking about the Mod case. There is no magnets involved in holding the power bank, it is only using the provided strap. My original script had it saying “it feels stronger than a magnet” but something got mixed up 😂 my bad

@Bearrden 11 ай бұрын

Modcases fan attachment is interesting and provides air directly to the unit. I don't use it because it is very loud. Maybe if I have it docked one day.

@ConradMurkitt 10 ай бұрын

This is the first video I’ve found that shows how much of the air intake the Baseus power bank blocks. Which is not much. Now I’ve watched this I might get the mod case.

Jason, you said with a proper cable it helps charging. Is the cable that comes with the 65W pack you provided good enough or do you suggest another cable?

@user-tp5yb4hr4w 5 ай бұрын

i wonder if steam could install thermal electric parts to the steam deck to make the battery last longer, basically what this tech does is it converts the heat the device already creates back into useful power that goes back into the battery, because otherwise it's just waste heat anyway, it's not going to power your device a whole lot, but it will at least help it not run out so damn quickly. but the thermal electric tech would have to be put within the heat sink somehow as that's where we want the heat to go anyway to help regulate the device temps.

@paulicop1131 3 ай бұрын

Attaching the powerbank to the Deck is not the best idea anyway.🤔 The added weight is uncomfortable. A better idea is using a very flexible, silicone power cable. It allows the powerbank to stay in your bag (because on the go you always have a bag) without the cable causing any discomfort. 😉

I'd really suggest checking out thingiverse and picking up the file for a power brick insert that fits in the back of the deck case and acts as a stand. There was even one made for the US plug with micro SD slots. I've previously used 3d hubs to get stuff 3d printed for me, but use whatever service you like.

Great tips and products in this video!Glad I discovered this channel. Just got my Steam Deck (refurb 256 GB) and a Samsung Evo Select 512 GB SD Card. So far the SD card is slightly slower loading games than the SSD, but not much. And games like “Cyberpunk 2077”, “Elden Ring”, and “One Piece Odyssey” run great on it. (Looking at the card it is an A2 but was only $35 on Amazon).

@Aigis31 7 ай бұрын

I got a 64GB Deck and bought a 512GB Samsung MicroSD card that works great. A few months later I swapped the SSD with a 512GB Samsung SSD. Behind that, I also have a 256GB MicroSD that I keep in my case that has Windows installed on it. So if there's ever a game I want to play that doesn't work on Linux I can just pop in the MicroSD and fire up Windows. I keep mine in a MicroSD to standard SD card adapter that is VHB taped to the little air pocket inside the Decks case. Has been there for about 6 months and is rock solid, it's a great solution. I also take my Deck on the go more than most. It's awesome to play the deck at night near the fire when camping. Or bring a hammock to the park and play on a nice day. I highly recommend a Matte screen protector. You do lose a little sharpness, but if you actually take your Steam Deck outside it's a necessity (unless you have the 512GB variant.) I have the rectangular 30,000 Baseus PD Power Bank and it's awesome. But I wish I sprung for the more expensive flat 20,000 Baseus version. It's less capacity but I'm fine with that, the form factor looks much better. Lastly, I use a similar charger to the one in the video with one of the 90 degree USB C adapters. I also use an Anker USB C cable that is much softer and more flexible than any other cable I've ever seen. It makes it much more manageable to use while plugged in. Similar idea to gaming mice that use the Paracord style cables. It's great.

I will push back on the dock section, I have a couple decent quality usb-c hubs that can do up to 4k60 HDMI, and while both will output video, none of them would work with audio. It always still came out of the console. Even after going into desktop mode & changing audio output, it didn't like any of it. I've read many many people have the same issues, and JSAUX or Valve dock has the right digital innards to make things work properly. If it keeps me from having to go into desktop mode & manually changing inputs every time, the Valve dock is worth it imo 👍🏻 *edit - plus it's Valve summer sale time so it's on sale!
