The Steam Deck is brilliant out of the box, but four add-ons make it better: a dock for the TV, a microSD card for more games, a screen protector, and a case for the bag. I’ve picked a couple of options for each job, and everything here lists both the LCD and OLED models unless I say otherwise. (Here’s how we choose products.)

  • Best dock: UGREEN 6-in-1 Dock (#1)
  • Best storage upgrade: SanDisk Gameplay 512GB microSD (#2)
  • Best screen protector: JSAUX 2-pack tempered glass (#3)

Which one should you get?

  • New Deck owner: screen protector (#3) plus the tomtoc case (#4).
  • Want to play on the TV: UGREEN dock (#1), or the Anker (#6) if you just need 60Hz.
  • Running out of space: SanDisk Gameplay 512GB (#2).
  • Use a grip case: Spigen (#8) to play in, Skull & Co (#7) to carry it.
  • Buying for a PC gamer? See our gifts for PC gamers.

What we left out and why

  • Anker 735 charger: a mains charger whose listing doesn’t state the plug type, so we left it out.
  • No-name docks and cases: plenty are listed, but we stuck to brands with clear specs and their own UK or EU stores.

FAQ

What's the first Steam Deck accessory to buy?

A screen protector (#3) and a case. If you’ve got the smaller-storage model, the SanDisk microSD card (#2) is the next best upgrade.

Do these Steam Deck docks come with a charger?

Neither listing mentions a charger in the box. The UGREEN (#1) and Anker (#6) docks take power through a 100W USB-C input, so plug your Deck’s charger into the dock.

Do these fit the Steam Deck OLED?

Yes – every pick here lists the OLED model. The UGREEN dock also lists other handhelds like the ROG Ally.
