Another tip is when you format your new SD card, don't use the built in format option in game mode. Manually format your SD card in desktop mode using the included KDE Partition Manager in the start menu. This will increase the SD downloading speed significantly for most users.

Man… I wish this thing were released when I was a kid or teen because that’s the time where I had a lot of free times and energy. Now I’m in my mid 30s having a ton of works to do and feeling tired all the time.

[@Yami_Industries]

I didn't even think of getting glow in the dark thumb stick caps until now and the kickstand looks awesome. I will be definitely adding these to my list

[@MainCave]

The kickstand has been a revelation. Thought I’d put it on for a day or so and try it out, ended up keeping it on.

[@IcoKirov]

@@MainCave is it putting too much strain on the original travel case? the interior of it is pretty much "cut" on the deck, so i'm guessing the kickstand is pressing on it.

For the 512 owners, use the dbrand one. This protector leaves the anti glare intact. Nice video mate.

[@harrydavey9884]

Yeah, I bought a screen protector from Amazon and realised it wasn't anti-glare. Quite annoyed at myself for not considering it.

[@MainCave]

Nice one. May pick that up 👍🏻

[@CarlBraun3]

or "brotect matte" steamdeck glass

[@johnfrankster3244]

I ended ordering a protector, both times dust & shit got underneath, small specs, but im borderline ocd about that crap. In my honest opinion its not necessary. on the incredibly low chance you somehow scratch it ifixit has replacements. You literally need to forcefully be prodding it with a nail for lasting damage.

[@0Rthx]

Lol i had spare unused nintendo switch screen protector😆 slapped right on deck and its all good

[@merlin-ju6fu]

The 90 degree usb connector is a great idea. Connectors can wear out and this is a good way to protect the original connector.

[@MINIMAN10000]

I have three accessories. A Jsaux upgraded docking station but a steam deck dock will do the same job, plug and cable, and a screen protector. The docks cover all of the following 4. Hub 6. Stand 7. 90 degree adapter 8 kickstand. The upgraded dock is important for 3 usb ports to match that of the steamdeck.

[@shanehumberstone5262]

Got one for my switch it allows you to sit with the switch resting on one’s belly

[@joseph9679]

I got that grip case cover that was last on the list. The one with the x on the back. It’s actually much better quality than I thought it would be. And it came with 2 screen protectors with wet wipes and lint stickers. I thought the design was a little gaudy but the lines on the back are not white. It is solid black but the designs are gloss and the rest is matte. The pictures are just showing the bright studio lights reflecting. I’d recommend it!

[@MainCave]

That’s really good to know. Thank you for letting me (us) know. 👍🏻

[@zenstrata]

I like the updated JSAUX dock myself. But the most important add-on for the Steam Deck is definitely a memory card. Power bank is not hugely important for me, because I mostly play indie games, and i keep the TDP turned down to between 3 to 9 watts, this gives up around 8 hours of battery life per charge for the deck.

[@MainCave]

I have just made a video on that dock. It’s excellent

[@wf6951]

You may as well purchase a 14' laptop.

[@arrowverse2922tiktok]

​@@MainCave does the usb hub brick the steam deck

[@DavidBrown-bs7gg]

I bought a matt screen protector for mine (64gb) for £10 and cuts out reflections excellently. As for mouse and keyboard I bought a flat folding one which takes up less space when folded but isn’t fiddly to type with when unfolded

[@bartz0rt928]

Regarding the SD cards: A2 class cards have faster random read speeds, so if you're installing larger games to the card that's what you want to go for. Also have a look at the price per GB: you can get the Sandisk ones in capacities up to 1 TB, but it's actually cheaper to buy multiple lower capacity cards totalling that capacity. Since you can hot-swap the cards (that means switching them out while the device is on), that might be the better option.

[@MainCave]

Good comment. My SD card I had for my switch and so didn't want to buy another. As I say in the video, it's fast/large enough for me with emulation

[@duanesantos8138]

This guy games.

[@IcoKirov]

well A3 has even faster random read speeds. but the deck can't utilise that extra speed.

[@miciso666]

yeah for this reason i have multiple cards. one for fighting games. one for shooters. and one lastly for sidescrollers :) on the deck itself i have barely anything on it. because the ssd is imho harder to replace.

[@BloodyScythe666]

for larger games, don't you need sequential read speed more often than random read speed?

[@grumpybear42]

Yes! One accessory that we NEED to get working on this. AR glasses. Specifically the Nreal air. I'm building a deck that needs a dock to run the glasses so I can continue to feed power to the deck. This build is gonna be a game changer, but I need to know what Dock will do the job of routing all that data and juicing everything from an external battery.

[@OQO00]

Nubia Redmagic adaptor, they're a bit pricey but the best option.

[@RobertOw83]

[@adamb89]

I work from home and my employer provided me with a Dell laptop, a couple monitors, and a docking station with a USB-C connector. That same Dell docking station from work also works perfectly with the Steam deck. I just plug my Steam deck in instead, and wham. Full desktop PC mode, multi-monitor setup, keyboard and mouse. From there I can use flash drives to transfer ROMs from my personal PC to the Steak deck to play via Emudeck, or even just straight up use it as a PC if I want to do some lightweight tasks and don't feel like using my regular PC with that space heater of a GPU (3090 TI).

[@TaiMizuki]

You can get anti glare screen protectors, which somewhat makes the OLED anti glare screen a little pointless, but at least you can protect it without loosing the glare protection.

[@PenguinYayOne]

6:42 you can get matte glass screen protectors which has better anti-glare than the 512GB model's screen

[@SoniXperias]

In my opinion the anti-glare on the steam deck is perfect because if it's too good then it kinda removes alot of the sharpness of the screen

[@a7c777]

I noticed that to play American McGee's Alice you need to have access to an alt+enter keys to access the menu (and play the game) there's probably other older titles with that same problem so a travel keyboard is a must

[@IcoKirov]

Just a note on the sd cards. if you need it for regular modern games, then you need A2 card as they are faster and the deck can utilise their speed. A3 are even faster, but the reader on the deck can't utilise them, and will treat them as A2 cards. so if you plan on adding big, heavy to load games, A2 is the way to go. A3 are more expensive, for basically nothing (other than future-proofing - like if you plan on using that card for other devices that can utilise A3 cards) if you plan on putting small indie games and/or roms and such, speed is not *that* important, so you can go for the cheaper A1 as on the video. i would personally don't go bellow A1, unless i use them for low end emulation - 8 and 16 bit. for them even older class 10 card (no A grading) would be ok, maybe even lower grading, but i mean, you can get like a 4-8 GB card and you can store ALL of those games on it. so no point in buying a big one, just use one you have from old phones.

[@MainCave]

Thanks for that, appreciate it 👍🏻

[@ajuric4606]

I have noticed that 128 and 256 GB cards are more often on sale than larger ones, so it's cheaper to buy 4-5 256 GB cards than 1T card. And there are sd card holders for 5-10€ on amazon that can hold up to 24 cards, so just a thought...

[@IcoKirov]

@@ajuric4606 1tb cards are usually not price effective. Often 2 512gb are cheaper as well. And if we include sales yeah I guess the lower ones are even better price/capacity. But also the lower you get the harder to optimize the capacity properly, I mean more unused space overall will be left when you combine all of them. Not that this is a big issue

[@ajuric4606]

@@IcoKirov I agree, not worth to go too low. In my opinion, going for multiple 256 cards for some bigger games would let you keep them organized per card, rpg games on one, strategy on other, simulations on third and so on. Since deck utilizes speed of SD cards so well, no real need to have everything installed on it all the time. Plus organizing games in any way kind of helped me to organize other things in my life.

[@IcoKirov]

@@ajuric4606 yeah, I agree. Although I myself still don't have any cards for the deck. I have the 512gb version and I have it half filled. I have a old 64gb SD card from a phone, I think it's a1 if not lower. And I have a couple of indie games on it, but that's it. I rarely play the big AAA titles that take a lot of space, so I don't need that much space.

From this list, I'd go with the SanDisk Micro SD card. Considering the pitiful storage capacity Valve offers with even their highest tier model, I think expandable storage is absolutely necessary. The Micro SD card may be the least exciting of other options on this list, but it is by far the most essential. The SanDisk Micro SD card is my choice.

[@derp195]

I think they offer such small amounts of storage because of how incredibly good modern sd cards are. You can get the same performance as an hdd.

I use a magnetic usb-c adapter, the adapter stay on my charging cable and the magnetic tip in the usb-c ports on my steam deck.

if i'm not mistaken there were some cases where 65 chargers would brick the deck, but i don't remember what was the exact case. not all were causing issue. and i think it was happening only when using it through a hub (but don't quote me on that). technically all should be fine with 65W as well. if it can deliver the 45W at the same voltage as the original charger, then it should be absolutely the same. but i'm no specialist.

Check out the JSAUX V2 dock. I would love to know how it compares to the anker dock. Those are the two I'm looking at.

I will do at some point, but there’s a bit of a delay on shipping them. Hope to get one soon.

My Steam Deck 512 GB was just delivered on Thursday, so I'm still shopping around for my first accessory. JSAUX dock model HB0604 sold out before I could order one, does another brand have an M.2 slot and charging but maybe not the built-in stand? Edit: just spotted the Selore&S-Global brand, are they good and are there others I should consider?

[@MainCave]

I personally can’t say good or bad of any dock that has m.2 as I haven’t got round to testing any yet. I am hopefully going to get the new one as I have made a video on the HB0603. Maybe add an m.2 drive to that, depending on speeds.

[@christopherschmeltz3333]

@@MainCave Just the usually reputable brands that have M.2 would be fine, I would like to save some research time by being pointed towards other reviewers that have covered them.

Quality - love your vids 👏👏 Interesting about the Airpods being laggy, thats disappointing!!

[@MainCave]

Not too bad, but enough for it to be noticeable.

[@EvertG8086]

I didn’t notice it too much, I’m using airpod pros.

Note When you plug in the HDMI Cable The Steam Deck Screen goes black, displaying the picture on your TV & Monitor This is good, as prevents screen burn in for your Steam Deck screen I am relieved to see this - as screen burn in is always a concern of mine
