A practical checklist for Steam Deck owners who want useful upgrades without buying a drawer full of junk.

Storage

microSD card

The first accessory most Deck owners actually use. Prioritize known brands and enough space for your biggest games.

Dock

USB-C dock

Useful if you connect to a TV, monitor, keyboard, or ethernet. Check power delivery support before buying.

Protection

Case and screen protector

Good for travel or work bags. Avoid bulky cases if you mostly play at home.

Power

Charger or power bank

Look for enough wattage to keep the Deck charging during play, not just slow-drain slower.

Control

Bluetooth controller

Best for docked mode, co-op, and couch play.

Rule

Buy for a real use case

If you do not dock, travel, or play couch co-op, skip accessories until a need shows up.
