The Steam Deck is undoubtedly the most popular handheld PC on the market, so it has unsurprisingly spawned legions of third-party accessories since launching in 2022. From battery packs and microSD cards to docks and more, there are numerous ways to customize your device. Often times, you can get solid Steam Deck accessories for very reasonable prices; this includes third-party docks that are significantly cheaper than the official dock from Valve.
We’d consider a USB-C dock, microSD card, and portable battery pack to be practically essential purchases for Steam Deck owners. Right now, a bunch of these useful Steam Deck accessories are up for grabs for even lower prices than usual. We’ve put together a list of the best Steam Deck accessory deals we could find at Amazon.
$25 ($30)
Spigen makes some of the most popular smartphone cases, so it should come as no surprise that it’s doing the same for Steam Deck. Composed of a TPU cover to help mitigate drop damage and with an external wrist strap for added security, it should give you peace of mind when traveling with your handheld PC.
$16 ($24)
This deal is exclusive to Amazon Prime members. The case is shock-absorbent and flexible, making it easy to install yet durable enough to withstand scratches and drops. You’ll also find a built-in kickstand that adds versatility to your gaming setup.
$21 ($30)
With enough space for your Steam Deck and all its accessories, this is a great way to keep your gear safe while on the road. It offers a shock and water-resistant design, and can be carried by a handle like a briefcase or slung over your shoulder with its detachable shoulder strap.
$25 ($30)
Not interested in dropping $79 for the official Steam Deck Dock from Valve? Then take a look at this model from Sabrent, which features multiple USB-C ports, an HDMI port, and three USB-A ports. It also supports 4K output and is designed around a non-slip base that ensures your Steam Deck won’t shift around while gaming.
$30-$40 ($40-$50)
Two JSAUX Docking Stations are up for grabs for 10 bucks off each. The 5-in-1 Dock offers an ethernet port, two USB-A ports, an HDMI port, and a USB-C port. The 6-in-1 Dock offers all the above plus an additional USB-A port (bringing the total to three). Both are fully compatible with Steam Deck, giving you 4K output at 60Hz, along with a low-profile design that’s easy to squeeze onto even the most cluttered desk.
$70 ($80)
This dock is similar to the above Sabrent 6-Port Docking Station, though it adds an NVMe SSD slot (hence the price increase). This allows you to expand your Steam Deck’s storage while connected to the dock. If you’re running low on storage for your handheld, it’s definitely a worthwhile investment. Keep in mind it doesn’t come with the SSD, so you need to purchase a 2280 model NVMe SSD separately. This Samsung 990 EVO 2TB SSD is on sale for $160 right now. The 1TB model is down to $100.
$90 ($100)
This is another dock built with an NVMe SSD slot. Aside from that, you’ll get the usual ports and functionality–including 4K output at 60Hz, a USB-C port, HDMI port, and two USB-A ports. Like the dock above, you’ll need to purchase NVMe SSD separately. The Samsung 990 EVO is a good option here, too.
$56 ($100)
Running out of battery faster than expected? Pick up the Baseus Portable Charger to add more time to your play sessions while on the go. Along with support for Steam Deck, it’ll work well with other power-hungry electronics, including Nintendo Switch, laptops, productivity tablets, and more. Offering 65W of charging power and a 30,000mAh capacity, this power bank is capable of charging your Steam Deck while you play. Thanks to multiple USB ports, USB-C fast charging, microUSB, and more, you should be able to use this Baseus battery pack with just above every electronic you own.
$54+
Anker makes some of the most popular power banks on the market, and two great ones are on sale right now. The 24,000mAh 65W portable charger is on sale for $54 (down from $80), while the 26,800mAh 60W model is a bit more expensive at $80 (down from $130) and comes with an AC adapter. Both are slim, lightweight devices, making them easy to slip into a backpack or suitcase.
$45 ($50)
Along with full support for Steam Deck, the Antank Magnetic Power Bank includes a removable magnetic mount. This lets you clip the battery pack directly onto your Steam Deck and makes it easier to play while it’s charging.
$30 for 512GB | $60 to $73 for 1TB
Thanks to Steam Deck’s built-in microSD slot, you can expand your library beyond the device’s internal storage. A handful of cards are currently on sale, including the 1TB Lexar for $73 (down from $130), the 512GB Samsung for $30 (down from $35), and the 1TB TeamGroup for $60 (down from $73).
Threads is beginning to test a bookmarking feature to allow users to save posts, according to Instagram head Adam Mosseri. The update is beginning as a “limited test,” but the “heavily requested” feature will eventually have a permanent place on the service, the company said.
According to screenshots shared by Meta, the “save” button on Threads will look very similar to Instagram’s version of the feature. Users will be able to access their bookmarked posts from the “save” section of the app’s settings.
While the ability to save posts may not seem like the most exciting update, it will help bring a little more organization to the app. threads currently lacks direct messaging, search filtering, lists and a number of other features often requested by power users looking to replace the functionality of Twitter (now known as X).
Threads recently introduced searchable tags, but Meta has so far resisted adding chronological search or trending features. Mosseri has said chronological search could be easily gamed by spammers, though an “internal prototype” of the feature was recently spotted in the wild. Meta employees have also been spotted sharing images of a feature that looks a lot like trending topics, though it’s unclear what the company’s plans for it may be.
In a statement, a Meta spokesperson said the company “will continue listening to community feedback for ways to improve the Threads experience.” The app has climbed to 130 million monthly users, Mark Zuckerberg revealed last week. He has said that the app has the potential to be the company’s next billion-user service.

Instagram Threads is getting a highly requested feature that puts it in closer competition with X/Twitter. The text-based social networking app is experimenting with the ability to save posts, allowing users to bookmark favorite posts to revisit them later. Instagram head Adam Mosseri announced the feature in a Threads post on Wednesday, noting that the […]
