In order of frequency of use with my Deck:
My most used accessory is a hoodie with the single front pocket. The Deck fits in this pocket and is great to carry around the house. Doesn’t fall out or anything.
Thick stick-on rubber button covers for the back buttons that make them far easier to press.
Deckmate. I primarily use this with a DIY phone holder to attach my phone.i watch movies while gaming in a dark room waiting for my son to fall asleep every night. Also great for the kick-stand, but I don’t use that much.
A barrel connector to USB-C converter to turn my laptop charger into a 65W USB charger at my desk so I don’t need to have multiple chargers and cables lying around. I also have a super small GaN dual port USB-C charger for travel. I would also recommend buying a bunch of used (branded) USB-C laptop chargers from eBay if you want multiple chargers scattered around the house.
Tomtoc carrying case.
My Synology NAS for easily transferring files to the Deck from other devices and for auto-backup of save files from emulated games using Syncthing.
90 degree USB-C connector along with a generic USB-C laptop dock. Extra long USB-C cable.
My hitbox controller for street fighter.
The Steam Link app on the PC to work as an instant remote access app to the Deck. Works great for setting things up (i.e. emulators) in desktop mode with the KB+M and screen shared to the large monitor.
Guitar hero controller…yup this still gets some use and is fun with the family.
Dualshock 3 controller (works natively with Deck Bluetooth connection).
PD power bank.
There are a number of options I haven’t explored. I haven’t touched anything on the inside of the Deck. You can get a bigger NVME drive or hall effect joysticks or a new shell. You can also get vinyl stick on skins for the outside. You can get all sorts of other mods. You can get to really significant surgical mods.
Oh damn, I’ve been exclusively on zip up hoodies for the past 2+ decades, but that might convince me to pick up a pullover
The ones I designed and gave away: https://twystlock.com/ 😉
Specifically, the wall mount and belly stand.
Those look very close to the Mechanism offerings, what are the advantages of your connector over theirs?
In reality, I love the belly stand.
Mechanism’s stuff is great, the main differences between Twystlock and it are:
- Twystlock is an open connector, it can be used for anything
- Twystlock doesn’t require any springs or heat-set inserts
- Twystlock doesn’t require any supports when printed
- Mechanism latch may be more durrable, but I’ve tested the Twystlock wall hanger for over 1K mounts and it’s still going strong
- I don’t sell anything, and everything on https://nowsci.com/ is given away for free
So basically, I don’t ever intend to compete, because I don’t care. I made these to improve my CAD and engineering skills, and because I wanted them, as I do most things, and then send them out into the world 😉
My Deckmate with the kick stand. I’m bedbound and it even works to prop it up on my tummy.
As Someone else who is also disabled. Got any other accessibility type things for the steam deck ?
Nope, sorry. But the Deckmate also has a VESA mount. There are probably some ways to mount it to help with playing.
Nowadays I’m not playing so much anyways. A laptop on a tiltable food tray table thingy gets much more use for YouTube videos.
For my smol hands, the Skull & co back button extensions.
I think I bought a knockoff brand but these are great and just make it easier to press the back buttons, even if you don’t have small hands.
