The 6 best Steam Deck accessories on sale for Prime Day
Sorry, PC gamers: the Steam Deck is not on sale for Prime Day. But if you're lucky enough to have one of Valve's gaming handhelds already (or expect to pick one up in an upcoming Steam sale) then Amazon's deal day is a smart time to buy some Steam Deck accoutrements on the cheap. You really don't need anything to have a great experience with the Steam Deck—it comes with a nice case and a fast charger—but most of the folks on our team have at least added a microSD card for additional storage.
And there are some other accessories that may improve your Steam Deck experience, particularly if you need to want to dock it like a portable PC, keep it charged on the go or keep the screen extra safe.
Here are six of our favorite Steam Deck accessories that are on sale during Amazon Prime Day.
Our pick for the best cheap Steam Deck dock is even cheaper than usual during Prime Day, and Sabrent is a reliable brand. It's a quarter the price of Valve's official Dock!
Sabrent 6-Port Docking Station for Steam Deck | 95 watt Power Delivery | 3 USB-A ports | 2 USB-C ports | HDMI 2.0 | $29.95$23.88 at Amazon (save $6)
This Sabrent Dock is about as no-nonsense as it gets. Heck, it even uses «just works» as a bullet point on its Amazon page. You're missing the fancier features of some Docks here (notably no Ethernet port), but if you just want to charge your Steam Deck or be able to plug in a mouse, keyboard, and monitor, it's exactly what you need and nothing more.
This microSD card isn't quite the fastest you can get, but the Steam Deck was designed for A1 microSD card speeds, making a slightly faster A2 card irrelevant for playing games. The only place you'd see a small speed advantage is in installing/decompressing games on a gigabit internet connection. Once in-game, you'll never notice a difference. Save the cash and buy this one.
Silicon Power 512GB microSD card | UHS Class 3 (U3 A1) | 100 MB/s read | 80MB/s write | $39.99 $26.25 at Amazon (save $13.74)
