The Steam Deck has brought PC gaming right to our hands, and while it's already a beast on its own, a few key accessories can really take it to the next level. From protective cases to keep it safe to cooling fans for those marathon sessions, these add-ons are what every Steam Deck owner should have on their radar.
1. Protective Cases: Keep Your Deck Safe on the Go
With the Steam Deck being a serious piece of gear (and not exactly cheap), protecting it is a must. Enter the Skull & Co. Steam Deck GripCase. This case is a gamer’s best friend, offering a secure grip for intense gameplay and a sturdy 75° stand that keeps your Deck stable on any surface. With compatibility for both the official and third-party docks, it’s flexible for all setups. The case's snug fit and soft material mean no awkward pinching around the buttons, giving you full protection and a smooth feel that’s perfect for gaming on the go.
2. Thumb Grips: Precision Control for Every Game
Thumb grips might be small, but they make a big difference. The Skull & Co. Thumb Grip Set gives you a serious edge with three different grip styles designed for different types of games.
- Skin Grip: Adds a thin layer of protection while keeping the original feel of the controls.
- CQC Elite: Boosts thumbstick height by 3 mm, with a 20% radius increase—ideal for faster-paced games where you need more control.
- FPS Master: Adds 7 mm in height and 42% more radius, perfect for those precision shots in FPS games.
The material is extra "grippy," so you’ll feel more in control and avoid over-steering or missing shots. Try a mix of CQC on one stick and FPS on the other for your ideal setup.
3. Screen Protector: Keep That Display Pristine
Want to keep your Deck's screen looking like new? Check out the JSAUX Ultra HD Glass Protector. This protector is tough (500℃-reinforced tempered glass with 9H hardness), which means it’ll take a hit without leaving a scratch. Plus, with 99.99% transparency, you won’t lose any clarity in your games. An oleophobic coating keeps fingerprints in check, and the included frame makes installation super easy and bubble-free.
4. Carrying Case: All-in-One Storage for Gaming on the Go
If you’re taking your Steam Deck on the road, you’ll want a sturdy carrying case. The Skull & Co. Slim Carrying Case is made for more than just the Deck. It has space for memory cards, cables, and even comes with a polishing cloth for quick screen touch-ups. The hardshell exterior, water-resistant cover, and velvet interior give you solid protection, while the convertible handle makes it easy to grab on the go.
5. Docking Station: Expand Your Display and Connectivity
Want to turn your Deck into a true gaming hub? The JSAUX 12 Port RGB Docking Station has you covered. This 12-in-1 dock connects your Deck to a 4K display, lets you add multiple USB devices, and charges at 100W. With ports for HDMI, USB-A, USB-C, and Ethernet, it’s ready for anything. And, the RGB lighting adds style, while the 10Gbps data transfer means quick connections to storage devices. Perfect for those who want both work and play on their Deck.
6. Cooling Fan: Keep Things Cool During Marathon Sessions
Long gaming sessions can make your Steam Deck heat up, which isn’t great for performance. The JSAUX Cooling Fan is here to help. It’s designed specifically for the Deck and has adjustable speeds, so you can find the perfect cool. With a 4-6 hour battery life after just a 1.5-hour charge, you won’t have to worry about it dying mid-game. It’s a lifesaver for marathon sessions or during high-performance games when things start to heat up.
7. Back Buttons: Extra Control for Quick Actions
Want extra control without changing up your whole setup? The Skull & Co. Steam Deck Back Button attachment is easy to install and feels natural in hand. These anti-slip, tactile buttons are perfect for games that require fast reflexes. The design lets you use them with or without a protective case, making it a super versatile add-on.
These essential accessories will take your Steam Deck experience to a whole new level. From extra protection to precision controls, enhanced connectivity, and cooling, these add-ons are exactly what you need to get the most out of your handheld console. So, gear up, protect your Deck, and dive into gaming bliss.
