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)

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.
