Steam Deck Accessories Gift Guide 2025
Valve’s Steam Deck has been around for a minute and by now, it’s no longer a novelty handheld PC. No, it’s here to stay—and like any other long‑staying PC you’re going to need some accessories to pair with it. Give your Steam Deck some personality, style, or even a nice protective case because of chronic butter fingers.
Here are the best picks for 2025 that range from protective shells to pro‑level docks, each one designed to push the Deck closer to perfection.
Armor Up: Cases and Protection
The Jsaux ModCase starts at $29.99 for the basic kit and climbs to $179.99 for the full “Ultimate Kit.” It’s modular, durable, and lets you strap on extras like cooling fans or power banks. The PC0104 Shell Case runs between $33.99–$54.99, offering full‑cover protection without the bulk. Valve ships the Deck with a travel case, sure, but these shells let you strap gear directly to the handheld—no juggling cables mid‑flight.
Screen protectors are another must. Jsaux’s tempered glass kit is cheap at around $14.99, easy to apply, and keeps scratches at bay. It’s not glamorous, but it’s the difference between a pristine OLED and a scarred battlefield.
Keep It Cool, Keep It Charged
Heat is the Steam Deck’s silent enemy. Jsaux snap‑on cooling fans cost about $29.99–$39.99, helping with circulation and doubling as kickstands. Pair that with the Jsaux PB6501 20,000mAh 65W power bank at $79.99, and you’ve got a setup that can survive long flights or marathon sessions without breaking a sweat.
Steam Deck Docking Stations: Hybrid Mode Unlocked
Want to turn the Deck into a desktop? The IVANKY Docking Station sits in the $59.99–$79.99 range, while the Baseus 6‑in‑1 hub runs $49.99–$69.99. Both deliver HDMI 2.1 output, USB‑A ports, Ethernet, and rapid charging, transforming the handheld into a Switch‑style hybrid. Adjustable cradles mean you don’t have to strip off your case every time you dock.
Comfort and Style
Thumb grips, back button enhancements, and PlayVital rubber pads are small upgrades that hover around $9.99–$19.99, but they make long sessions smoother. For audio, the Razer Barracuda X headset lands at $99.99, while the premium Sony INZONE E9 in‑ear monitors hit the high end at $299.99. Both deliver positional sound without the bulk of traditional cans.
Storage Expansion
Games aren’t getting smaller, and neither should your library. Samsung’s PRO Plus microSD cards range from $49.99–$129.99 depending on capacity, while SanDisk’s Ultra microSDXC sits between $59.99–$119.99. If you’re brave enough to crack open the Deck, the WD Black SN770M SSD expands internal space for $79.99–$229.99, depending on size.
Final Thoughts
The Steam Deck is already the most popular handheld PC on the market, but 2025’s accessory lineup proves it can be more than that. With the right case, dock, and audio setup, the Deck isn’t just portable—it’s adaptable. Whether you’re gaming on a plane, at your desk, or in bed, these add‑ons make sure the Deck keeps up with you.
