Note: I made an oopsie woopsie when talking about the Mod case. There is no magnets involved in holding the power bank, it is only using the provided strap. My original script had it saying “it feels stronger than a magnet” but something got mixed up 😂 my bad
Modcases fan attachment is interesting and provides air directly to the unit. I don't use it because it is very loud. Maybe if I have it docked one day.
This is the first video I’ve found that shows how much of the air intake the Baseus power bank blocks. Which is not much. Now I’ve watched this I might get the mod case.
Jason, you said with a proper cable it helps charging. Is the cable that comes with the 65W pack you provided good enough or do you suggest another cable?
i wonder if steam could install thermal electric parts to the steam deck to make the battery last longer, basically what this tech does is it converts the heat the device already creates back into useful power that goes back into the battery, because otherwise it's just waste heat anyway, it's not going to power your device a whole lot, but it will at least help it not run out so damn quickly. but the thermal electric tech would have to be put within the heat sink somehow as that's where we want the heat to go anyway to help regulate the device temps.
Attaching the powerbank to the Deck is not the best idea anyway.🤔 The added weight is uncomfortable. A better idea is using a very flexible, silicone power cable. It allows the powerbank to stay in your bag (because on the go you always have a bag) without the cable causing any discomfort. 😉
Anker has always been my go to brand for power banks. Actually have 1 smaller one made by PNY that I have had for at least 15 years and it still works great also.
Im amazed about the quality of this video. You were absolutely spot on! One of the best videos I watched in a while. You also made me really curious about the cooling pad video. I'll watch it
Sir, I am just watching this. I love it. Especially the part about the cargo shorts. My Wife looked at me and asked, "Why is he talking about you like that?" And laughs. Love it!
Congrats for one of the most realistic videos about steam deck accessories I’ve ever seen. You just got a fan! I’m hoping to get the OLED soon, maybe in the end of the year
man, i been searhing for hours a good vid abt accesories to steam deck i plan to buy and you got all the good stuff i been looking for. What a life saver
Hands down the most underrated channel on UA-cam! Very entertaining and helpful at the same time! You’re a hidden gem Jason! I’ve never subscribed so quickly in my life. Keep it up brother☝🏻🔥
This is a great accessory’s video! Definitely couldn’t hurt to try a budget friendly steam deck desktop build for anyone with or planning on using the deck as a dedicated desktop
Man ! You just got yourself a new subscriber, great video ! I like that you are not overhyped over all the accessories like others UA-camrs but still keep a friendly way to recommend or not
The last thing you showed, thumbstick caps…. What’s even better than those are the ones from Skull & Co. very useful for getting more control and radius for when you’re playing competitive FPS games. Highly recommended!!
an accessory I wanna see is a "toughbook" style shell that adds rubber gaskets around the joysticks, buttons etc as well as covers over the usb-c etc and a membrane of some kind on the fan ports, that could be a real gamechanger to those that are outdoorsy, on the road, in the military or otherwise need a toughbook
I really don't know anyone other than you apparently that wants to take this thing out in the wilderness where you could potentially destroy your $400+ gaming console.
@@Shadow_Hawk_Streaming yeah because they're actually using them for their intended use... which isn't gaming. Its a rugged, go anywhere laptop. The military are probably calling in airstrikes and laser designating targets. They're not sitting out there playing Cyberpunk and Hogwarts 🤣🤣
I cant thank you enough for the portable charger recommendation! Im an EMT and our ambulances don't have a specific charging port or cigarette charger port so i've been looking for one and all of the ones i've seen are just cheap knockoffs
don't have a steam deck nor do i plan on getting one but I still enjoyed watching the video, you seem like a chill and most importantly honest creator.
Great tips and products in this video!Glad I discovered this channel. Just got my Steam Deck (refurb 256 GB) and a Samsung Evo Select 512 GB SD Card. So far the SD card is slightly slower loading games than the SSD, but not much. And games like “Cyberpunk 2077”, “Elden Ring”, and “One Piece Odyssey” run great on it. (Looking at the card it is an A2 but was only $35 on Amazon).
That's awesome to hear! I'm actually really glad to know the games don't run any slower on a microSD card and only launch slower. I had no idea that's how it worked, since I'm a complete newbie to technical specifications.
I got a 64GB Deck and bought a 512GB Samsung MicroSD card that works great. A few months later I swapped the SSD with a 512GB Samsung SSD. Behind that, I also have a 256GB MicroSD that I keep in my case that has Windows installed on it. So if there's ever a game I want to play that doesn't work on Linux I can just pop in the MicroSD and fire up Windows. I keep mine in a MicroSD to standard SD card adapter that is VHB taped to the little air pocket inside the Decks case. Has been there for about 6 months and is rock solid, it's a great solution. I also take my Deck on the go more than most. It's awesome to play the deck at night near the fire when camping. Or bring a hammock to the park and play on a nice day. I highly recommend a Matte screen protector. You do lose a little sharpness, but if you actually take your Steam Deck outside it's a necessity (unless you have the 512GB variant.) I have the rectangular 30,000 Baseus PD Power Bank and it's awesome. But I wish I sprung for the more expensive flat 20,000 Baseus version. It's less capacity but I'm fine with that, the form factor looks much better. Lastly, I use a similar charger to the one in the video with one of the 90 degree USB C adapters. I also use an Anker USB C cable that is much softer and more flexible than any other cable I've ever seen. It makes it much more manageable to use while plugged in. Similar idea to gaming mice that use the Paracord style cables. It's great.
By the way, for anybody curious for what the music is in the background, it is "Way Home" by Tokyo Music Walker. Anyway, this is a great video! Love it!
"You own a Steam Deck, or you have one coming soon..." immediately I'm like "This is a smart UA-camr lol, he knows exactly why people would land on this video"
Great video. Though I just saw an ad about an orange juice bottle next to cereal and now my tongue is traumatized just from imagining the taste. Great video none the less.
first time seeing your channel and Im gonna sub , such a good and info rich video and very chill and funny thank you for making this video , and thank you for being you
You've earned my like when you said "you're watching this video, so I'll assume you wear cargo pants". I actually don't, but thanks for the consideration 😂
If you have a 3d printer, JSAUX gives out the model for the back clip for the case, to do pretty much whatever ya want with it. Currently have a usb dock holder, that also holds an external nvme, and is also a stand. (Because the one that comes won't work with my external on.) But somethin to think about. 😄
5:35 Female viewers are also here to get advice on steamdeck accessories. And since my style is more yoga pants or leggings, this more thin and square like Baseus is def more of my thing. I'd take it with my purse or Tomtoc bag as an upgrade to my old cellphone power banks. Cheers for the advice!
I came here to watch cool accessories for the steam deck as I will be purchasing one for myself for Christmas….while doing so I got roasted by the content creator for wearing cargo shorts…. You just earned a sub…
I'd really suggest checking out thingiverse and picking up the file for a power brick insert that fits in the back of the deck case and acts as a stand. There was even one made for the US plug with micro SD slots. I've previously used 3d hubs to get stuff 3d printed for me, but use whatever service you like.
Very good content, I love the humor in your video and love the recommendations. I personally have the TomToc bag for Steam Deck which I feel I better than the JSAUX one you recommended but everyone has there own particular needs. You've earn a new subscriber.
The only accessory I currently have is a dock. I just made sure it had ethernet, HDMI and USB 3.0 ports, there were some that had only usb 2.0 or a 3.0 port and 1-2 2.0 ports. Mine has 3 3.0 ports which is all you could ever need, I also do have a USB extension that belonged to my late step-dad. It has 10 USB ports a USB connection with a 20 inch cable and it's own built In power switch.
Just got mine with 20% off :D This thing can run RDR2 and CyberPunk better than my PC haha! Battery life is impressive too. Best purchase ever! Getting used to the controls is still taking a bit of time, but other than that, great!
Little late to the show, but. Have you tested the deckmate? I've been wondering if i prefer to get that instead of the case you show with the strap, as I want it for the same purpose (strapping a Powerbank/external SSD)
good job on the video, i was looking for some unique accessories for my steam deck, I also like the Mod Case can't wait to try it with the powerbank good portable solution for batteries
I got a dock for 13$ on Amazon. it's nuts I found that. It works really well. I really should upgrade my storage I have like 100 more games since I bought this thing. Im probably gonna do the 3.5 TB build. 1.5 tb micro sd and 2 tb ssd.

This is kinda relaxing to watch and listen to. Thanks buddy.

Thanks for sharing this great video with all the Kool accessories as well!
The bag is amazing btw, I don't just use it for the steam deck I also use it as my main college bag
Thank you i have been looking for all of the above sans the bag, but now i may get one.
i love this, i feel youre very honest, not like 98% of youtube anymore, thanks for the video :)
I appreciate that! 🙏
Fantastic video, thank you for all the detail you provide regarding the accessories for the Deck. I am new to the Steam Deck world.
This video is so quick, concise, informative yet is such a vibe. What's the name of the background music? It's really nice!
I have that 65w baseus battery and can attest IT IS AMAZING. It charges my phone, and other accesories SO FAST. Get it. Its good.
appreciate this video man. I've been using my steam deck for a month and I'm looking to upgrade some of its accessories.
Thanks for this. Love your sense of humor.
Also you try changing your fps to fix that led flicker. Usually 30 or 60fps will fix it.
Excellent video, and I'm still laughing about the too-accurate ****-talking about cargo shorts 😅
