@@baphomathedude8057 Technically, you just have to make sure individual batteries don't go above 100 watt hours. If you've got a battery bank with multiple 90 watt hour batteries, you may be able to get around it lol
@@gr4j0m3r I always heard up to 27,000mAH. This video said 26,800. Power banks usually come in 20k or 30k. So it’s safer to just go with 20k. Airlines allow you to bring 2 of those
Rapid fire mini reviews for each item. I love that you were very fast and zeroed in on the point of each thing as well as being very informative. Great stuff.
This has got to be the most concise and to-the-point accessory video I've ever seen and I'm so glad I stumbled across it. Super informative, thank you for the upload!
Only reasons I've been passively keeping an eye out is because one, Id like a way to carry it better than a little handle, and two, I'm not totally jazzed by the thick strap compartment in the back, it's not water resistant and I've already had my charger fly out of it just taking it around the house, honestly if I could just have a zipped up door or even a velcro door over that little compartment, I'd be perfectly fine with the stock case.
I wanted it to be bigger with more space so I can hold the charger, micro sd cards, and cables while also being hardshell for maximum protection. The original case is nice but I needed more room. I like keeping all my steam deck accessories in 1 place
Oh, this video is a hidden gem. Awesome video. I just got my Steam Deck. I'm deciding which accessories I wanna buy. Thank you very much for sharing your current portable setup.
just got a steam deck OLED for Christmas and I've been looking at a lot of these types of videos to see accessories I'd like to buy and out of all of them, this is my favorite video. Straight to the point, great recommendations and the quality of video is superb!
On the topic of MicroSD-Cards: The SanDisk Ultra recommended in this video isn't the best performance, even considering price, you can get for the Steam Deck. Get a Samsung EVO Select (Amazon-exclusive) or EVO Plus (same, but not Amazon) for about the same price! It's Application Class A2. The Steam Deck can handle A2-class cards, which guarantees 2000 IOPS writing (=random write operations) instead of just 500 IOPS writing on class A1. Mostly while gaming, this isn't very important, because on most games you don't have many random, parallel read/write operations. Where it makes a big difference, is while compressing or extracting packages. This might not seem relevant, but it is, every time you update a game. Steam downloads and updates work by downloading medium size packages and extracting them. On A1 class cards (and unclassified "A0" basically), extracting can be slower than the download itself (bottlenecking overall download speed) plus there is a significantly longer waiting time after the download is at 100% but still considered unfinished. You still might not notice that much. Installing a big game might take a few minutes longer. On daily usage, you get a few updates per day and don't care about a bit of extra waiting time. If you don't touch the Deck for a week or longer, Updates accumulate. Suddenly all the games you have on your 512 GB card need a relatively big update. And now you'll notice the difference. Suddenly there are 1-5 minutes of extra installation time per game which on a 512GB card can accumulate to half an hour. So, if you have the option, get a A2 Card instead. Best thing is: You don't need to pay extra. Samsung EVO cards are A2 and priced competitively to SanDisk Ultra A1 cards.
The problem is the Deckmate is way too expensive. A cheaper, and easier solution I found just sticking a very small bit of heavy duty Velcro (max weight it can hold is 7kg) to the back works perfectly. Doesn't affect thermals, and it's so cheap to do! It holds my Powerbank with no risk of falling, and I can switch it out for a stand or anything external I like.
Holy moly, I just happened upon this video while casually looking for Deck stuff. I dig what you're doing here. Good energy and the info is just rapid fire and to the point. Keep it up!
Great job breaking down the pros and cons of all of these. I just bought the 512 version during the spring sale and I was having a difficult time finding a comprehensive list of accessories. Great video!
The foldable bluetooth keyboard with trackpad is actually excellent for when you quickly need to jump into desktop mode. I got it using your link, thanks for the great list.
@@LihimSidhe the right/left buttons is the trackpad itself. Usually down to the buttom lies the left/right buttons. Most laptops has this in its design
in my opinion if you were to to have any accessories for the deck, just get a screen protector and an sd card and spend the rest on games, the thing it was meant to do anyway
Thanks for the help. I recently got my own Steam Deck, and your vid helped me with portable power banks since I'll be travelling in a few short months. Here's hoping it works out.
It takes an awful lot for me to subcribe to someone (just don't normally like all the notifications) but this breakdown is so clean and concise no messing i;m about to buy majority of this list haha
Yep helps with download and install speed a bit. Any operation that requires sequentially very low bit read writes as well. There were designed to improve performance on phone apps.
Man, I wish every content creator that was giving information did so at this pace. Great video, super informative, didn't know about that airline power limit and it will definitely affect my purchase of a battery bank.
Information delivery was way too fast for me - I got palpitations just sitting here listening lol. That said, the info in the video is great and there's no way you can want for more info! I just had to pause and recap from time to time 👍
Great video, thanks! Had my Deck for almost a year, and I love it. This inspires me to maybe grab a couple more accessories now that I’m traveling a bit more.
This is a fantastic round up, and great info for each category. I just ordered my 64gb on the sale, and can't wait to dive in. Since I plan on couch gaming indoor for now, probably just grabbing a microSD, screen protector and maybe a skin for now, to protect from scratches. But definitely looking at the Deckmate, attachable power, and additional cards for storage in the future. Doubt I'll need the bigger cases unless I find myself traveling! Edit: The docking stations seem interesting for TV gaming with the kids!
I want to intersect at 5:28 real quick Running off an SD card compared to an SSD WILL increase load times quite a bit because the SD card will have slower read times which is just a limitation of the card itself. Also, stuttering CAN happen ingame when it loads a lot of data, when for example going into a new area or anytime the game needs to load a new environment into memory. If you dont care about longer initial loadtimes to get you into the game, an SD card is fine, but expect some framedrops related to limited data speed if you game off the card. I myself got the 64gb model and swapped a 1TB SSD in there for steam games, and got a 512GB SD Card for my Emudeck stuff, mostly ROMs I use for emulation, it holds my entire ROM library and I dont care about the load times in these especially because there is truly no difference on lower end consoles like the N64 or PS1 because the original expected data speed on these consoles is lower than what the SD card can provide.
Great video, thank you for giving us almost everything out there in this video 😂 I will be picking up a docking station, case and possibly the carry bag. I appreciate the quality video.
6:07 The steam deck with a power bank attached to the back and the exposed cable and the teardown skin resembles a modern day gameboy with the worm light in a way
Regarding those bluetooth earbuds you recommended - how's the audio latency? I'd love using bluetooth earbuds with my deck, but my current ones (Tozo T6) have enough latency that they're really awkward to use for games. Unsure how common/uncommon this is, as I don't know much about bluetooth stuff in general.
I came here looking for an answer to that same question. I know devices like Switch also have bad bluetooth audio latency, but I've never once had issues with audio latency with bluetooth gaming headsets on my PC, so I'm hoping some sort of wireless earbuds like these would work well with Steam Deck.
Thanks for watching!
What thumbstick covers do you use? They look great and I’m finding my thumbs slipping off the sticks a lot. Great video btw👍
@@someguyinatshirt These ones I've got are from dbrand. They never come off so you won't have that issue with these :)
Where are the links I don’t see any links.
Bruh you need to be mike tyson to take all that weight in your hands while playing without a table or a support
This review was epic! Truly. So much info, easy to digest.
Good job adding the airline limit on the battery pack capacity. That is important consumer information.
I made sure of it because I missed it in an earlier video 🙂
Yeah seriously I almost dropped 150 bucks on a battery before figuring out I couldn't take it on my flight. Close shave.
@@baphomathedude8057 Technically, you just have to make sure individual batteries don't go above 100 watt hours. If you've got a battery bank with multiple 90 watt hour batteries, you may be able to get around it lol
It allows up to 30000 normally.

Glad it was helpful!
This channel is gonna take off I can feel it. Everything is super crisp to the point and informative throughout 👏
I appreciate that!
To each his own, but I still don't understand why people need to buy some sort of travel case/cover to replace the case it comes with.
usually it’s because those cases offer more storage or take up less space in a bag
Only reasons I've been passively keeping an eye out is because one, Id like a way to carry it better than a little handle, and two, I'm not totally jazzed by the thick strap compartment in the back, it's not water resistant and I've already had my charger fly out of it just taking it around the house, honestly if I could just have a zipped up door or even a velcro door over that little compartment, I'd be perfectly fine with the stock case.
The stock case is fine i just wish it was made of a smoooth plastic or a fake leather or something i hate that rough nylon material
As a woman, the case it comes with doesn't fit in my purses. So I have the jsaux mod case because it makes the steam deck more travel friendly
I wanted it to be bigger with more space so I can hold the charger, micro sd cards, and cables while also being hardshell for maximum protection. The original case is nice but I needed more room. I like keeping all my steam deck accessories in 1 place

anything to make using the shoulder buttons easier? the shape of the grip makes it awkward. it's only L1 and R1 that is awkward.
Can the earbuds be connected to ps4/ps5?? 7:35
Damn you uploaded this at the right time bro. I just got a Steam Deck and was looking for accessories for it. Thanks for this great video.
I got you my bro! 💯
Really, really good video. Fast, coherent script as well. You're going places mate.
Also, my man is training arms all day.

I just love people with this type of personality
Awesome video. The balanced talk through of options and pros and cons was great! Thanks muchly!
Anytime! Thanks for watching 🙂
hands down the best steam deck accessory review. got to the point, explained well and sold me on many of these products! thanks
I noticed you have a skin on the back buttons (R4, R5, L4, L5), but you didn't mention those in the video. Do you have a link for them?
Thanks!
Is the shell see-through or just a skin?

Genuinely one of the best Steam Deck accessories videos I've seen, hands down

I cannot get mine to connect to the steam deck
No one's going to mention the fact this dude is jacked for being a gamer!
I was scrolling looking for this lmao
in my opinion if you were to to have any accessories for the deck, just get a screen protector and an sd card and spend the rest on games, the thing it was meant to do anyway
Awesome Accessories, thank you!
I wouldn't be surprised if this dude also has a fitness channel - guy is jacked lmao
New to a steam deck and I have to say best video I've seen on info for the steamdeck, great job man cant wait for more videos.
And you won’t wait long I promise! Thanks for the support 🙏🏾💯
By far the best steam deck accessories video. Keep it up my man!
Much love bro! Thank you 🙏🏾
What is the portable monitor called?
Absolutely the best list of Steam Deck Accessories! Liked and subscribed!
Thanks! I will buy some of them.
Awesome, thank you!
Just ordered a deck and appreciate you being concise and to the point! Thx for reviewing these accessories!
Nice, Im seeing information that alot of other youtubers do not mention. Very informative! Definitely subscribed!
This is a very well put together video and is straight to the point with all the steamdeck accessories. My favourite was the deckmate mount.
Amazing recommentations, liked the video editing and energy, and many stuff I haven't heard yet
Thank you! 😊
Great rapid fire. Exactly what I was looking for as a new steam deck owner.
Love the Shoulder Bag. Awesome video.
Thank you! :)
Clear, to the point, phenomenal camera work, and brother is juiced so it encourages you to not skip the routine? Subscribed. Well earned, brother.
Outstanding video! This is just what I was looking for now that I’ve ordered the steam deck, great recommendations!
Just a note on external controllers - Dualshock and Dualsense both have gyro and a touch interface, making it closer to Steam Decks controls.
Thanks for the help. I recently got my own Steam Deck, and your vid helped me with portable power banks since I'll be travelling in a few short months. Here's hoping it works out.
Wait steam deck games can run on a micro SD card? I did not know that.
Excellent video, and great recommendations.
Thanks for watching!
This video is fantastic - the quality, delivery and products mentioned are all top tier. Thanks for this, excited for your content!
This is the first of your videos I have seen. I love how you have zero bullshit--just useful info. Also, you are jacked af.
Saved this video for future when I get my deck. Thanks a lot!
Wow, this whole video was like a breathe of fresh air! Thank you this is a extremely well put together video. Happy i foind your channel!

This was the first time watching on of your video and I loved it! Great job! 👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you! :)
Great video! Thanks for putting it together
A small tip; when grabbing an sd card, you really want to grab one that has "A2" speed on it.
Yep helps with download and install speed a bit. Any operation that requires sequentially very low bit read writes as well. There were designed to improve performance on phone apps.
Say what you will about me but there's a good amount of good looking black lads doing tech reviews and it's making me feel things.
I love nerds.
