50 Steam Deck Tips & Tricks in 10 Minutes

[@autive42]

Here's a weird tip. You can connect your phone to your deck with bluetooth and any audio you play on your phone will play on the deck. Another convenient way to listen to a podcast or music while gaming.

[@LumberPanda]

Holy shit that's awesome!

[@deliciouserest]

that's really cool, thank you.

[@TheUnorthoboxLink]

Not to mention a seamless way to use discord

[@E3_Kruger]

This works a little, but anything that comes out of my headphones pauses every few seconds making it pretty much unusable. Maybe it works with wired headphones and speakers, but it doesn't look like it works with Bluetooth headphones.

[@KillshotRobz]

@@TheUnorthoboxLinkdamn thanks lol 😅didn’t think of that

[@JB_inks]

I watch a lot of KZbin and it's so refreshing to find an information packed video without waffle or begging

[@lennyngrado6365]

I think I watched every single video about the Steam deck a week before I got it delivered and yet I found a couple of nice tips that I didn't know about in this video. Thanks!

[@sOulbaSe371]

there are actually great tips

[@bikechan9903]

How many tho

Steam deck is the greatest handheld of all time, at least for me. You guys just don't know how long I've been waiting for a handheld that allow yous to play 3rd party games on the go. I've had a GB Advance, DS, DSI, 3DS, Switch, PSP, and PS Vita. Being able to play GTA4, GTA5, COD, Just Cause, day one automatically was a dream and now it's a reality. I dont have to hope and wonder if a certain game is coming out for a specific handheld anymore because if its coming to PC then it's coming to the Steam Deck.

[@skycloud4802]

I've had the original Gameboy, Gameboy Advance, Nintendo DS, and Nintendo 3DS. Sadly never got around to psp, Vita, or that Sega handheld. I've also got an Anbernic device. The Steam Deck is an absolute game changer. It's the most exciting thing I've purchased in years.

[@leodgm]

How to download extensions?

[@cappakrunchcappakrunch9681]

GameGear was pretty top notch... Id put it above just about any non pc ran handheld.

[@salitz91]

This video is perfect. Concise, clear, helpful. Production quality is fantastic -hoping the channel grows, and thanks for the great content!

[@Medsas]

lol he ran out of tips around 38 and started repeating the same tips in different ways 😂

[@neofromthewarnerbrothersic145]

@@Medsas What tips did he repeat? He gave a few different tips related to storage instead of just saying "upgrade the storage," but he didn't repeat any of them.

[@roger7641]

Background music caused a headache. Had to stop in first tip

[@thomaszinecker1785]

He was really reaching into basic non deck tips by tip 15, not DL when playing games, duh, and 20 others.

[@edir_4061]

Ordered my deck today and this has been a good watch. Liked too so I can come back to it when it arrives, thanks!

[@KingofBuilders]

Amazing video. Clicked on it thinking there’d be some “filler” tips, but absolutely every one was a gold, carefully chosen tip. Thanks a bunch.

[@thomaszinecker1785]

No filler tips? You can't be serious, have you read the comments? But his style of delivery of info is top tier. Makes great vids, not his fault deck is limited with tips and info.

[@bastil6743]

Amazing video! I've had my deck for like half a year, so I thought I found every kink of it to optimise, but your guide gave me like 3-4 more things to play with. Thank you!

[@L0wSkiller]

One thing to maybe do, is depending on the type of game you are playing or what you are doing, is you can put a shortcut on your desktop that leads you to game save folders. You can copy save game files, rename backups, and even if you set it up on a LAN with your main pc and set up a network drive, you can manually transfer save game files between your PC and steamdeck! My cloud data refused to sync when I tried to play Deep Rock Galactic one time. This save file was like 50 hours past where it was on my deck, so there was no way I was just gonna eat the loss of time. I hadnt used the desktop mode before this incident, but it really opened my eyes to just how cool the steamdeck is!

[@TearBaer]

I'll be honest, most of these I already knew, but I love watching these videos for the simple things that I might miss. Like #37, I had no idea about the Xbox controller syncing and I'm excited to give this a try for myself later today. Gave the video a thumbs up and good on ya.

[@dorgfanger]

This video may be old but it’s incredibly, INCREDIBLY, helpful for a new Steam Deck owner! Thank you!

[@paulkendrick4153]

Have you got all of your emulators set up? I’m new too. This this is F@ cking amazing. Currently playing the Splinter Cell series and Pokémon Fire Red

[@Rietto]

Just got my Deck today and this video is still really helpful, even at a year old. Thanks!

[@Dont_Panic7]

These are actually great tips! I love the fact that buying accessories was only one of the tips, I hate those "10 things to do before using your steam deck" that are 90% "buy this accessory"

[@x9_ii057]

Best steam deck tips video, mainly because its rapid. Awesome job

[@lt.spruilly6452]

I'm ordering my steam deck tomorrow, and this video made me even more excited for it! Amazing tips!

[@2tired2sleep2]

Mine is arriving sometime today😁

[@c0ldark267]

Look into touch menus in steam input if you play some non gamepad games. Its the best thing I have ever seen in any os. You can basically add infinite inputs to just one trackpad.

[@Envious_envy]

Just ordered my steamdeck Thursday. I'm excited for when it comes in! ❤

[@spectertech]

Nice! Enjoy!

[@neofromthewarnerbrothersic145]

Just ordered my Deck yesterday! Can't wait. It will actually be my first time owning a proper handheld gaming console. Never had a game boy or PSP or anything back in the day. I'm just starting with the base model and a few basic accessories... and of course a dbrand skin/screen protector. I have a couple of 2TB external HDD's, so I'll try using one of those (through a USB hub) before upgrading the SSD. I'm gonna wait on the Killswitch until they come out with some more attachments for it, which they have hinted at. Eventually I'm planning to get a folding keyboard for it so I can play games like Factorio or Timberborn. Of course if anybody has any suggestions for accessories that you believe are Must Have, I'd love to hear them.

I found out number 17 and when I did, it made my day. Thought almost 70% of my library was actually incompatible and after just trying to run them, that number decreased to around 5%.
