Just got mine yesterday and so far so good. I also have the non delta fan in my deck and saw zero difference in my fan speed when attached VS not attached in my testing as well. I saw some reviews mention it casuong slow downs and issues in games, i habe not experienced anything of the sort with mine as of a couple hours of playtime i have gotten in. Im loving the extra battery life i now have and am not so worried about being away from an outlet.
I did a DIY version of this with one of the Anker Power bank and Deckmate. The entire combo was more than this so cool that there’s cheaper alternatives. I also found that the weight with it attached to the Deck did become more of a hassle in certain games though
Mine arrived today. That's a crazy tough magnet. I think it's several smaller ones all working together alongside that recessed space to give it mad grip. When you fit the plate, bow it out a little as you clip it over and it goes on quite nicely. the same for taking it off. The weight of the battery by itself is pretty crazy by itself but somehow still quite comfortable when help alongside the Deck. Seems to sit nicely in a WiiU dock thing with the battery on the back btw.
No noticable issues with the magnets and performance either. I think because it's a few smaller ones all directed one way, it's just not an issue like the KillSwitch magnet issue was.
Thanks for reviewing this specific powerbank. I'll be receiving it in a few days with the SD, and was hrdpressed on finding a review for this specific power bank. 🤞 i don't get the SD with the delta fan 😅. Thanks very much for sharing this super helpful review! 👍 Sub'd for more 😉
I'm always afraid that the port will wear out... I only got stuck with the cable on the laptop once and since then it has had a loose connection, if that happens with the steamdeck it's pretty bad, it only has one. don't like playing with the charging cable plugged in either
Quick question: how did it feel weight-wise playing the Deck with the power bank attached? The Deck is already a bit on the heavier side; does this make it uncomfortably heavy? Would you be alright playing for just as long?
I have and love the newQ portable dock for my deck.i have together over 2tb and change with it even on lol i hope that same company just adds sd card and ssd storage support for even more space smh
@@SteamDeckGaming on US Amazon it directs to a search page full of power banks, rather than a specific listing. The ANTANK power bank was in the results, but only as a sponsored result on the second page. Also the Dock link on US Amazon links to a completely different dock from a different brand (New-Q). It's actually more interesting than the dock you reviewed. It clips onto the back of the Steam Deck and adds two USB ports and an HDMI port along the top edge of the deck, along with a kickstand. It's slim enough to fit in the Steam Deck case while still attached, which makes it a good travel dock. Plus since the connections are mounted on the Deck, you can connect to a display and still use the Steam Deck as your controller, which isn't as practical with a standard dock or hub. Downsides are that they didn't use a low profile USB-C connector, and the USBs are only 2.0.
So Dbrand was all over the news for spending millions due to the recall given magnets can break the device and now another company wants to do the same? The only good about this video (because this sadly puts your viewers devices at risk) is I have a new company to add to my blacklist of companies to avoid like the plague.
@@SteamDeckGaming Many can't check though which is the problem. My settings show everything but the fan and until needed I wouldn't suggest opening the deck given the structural integrity issues warning Steam gave. I totally get letting folk make an informed decision but I think your giving way more credit to the average buyer than they deserve to find every bit of information and check.
@@SteamDeckGaming doesn't show for me nope. Maybe a bug but even so, I just don't think you can expect the average buyer to go to such lengths to not risk damaging their device.
I'll sit this one out, happy for others to test it for a while.

Thats awesome, thanks for sharing
I’m gonna try diy Velcro since I’m budget limited.

So there is no performance issues whatsoever with the huaying fan?
On my steamdeck i went to settings then to system then to hardware model number but nothing shows me there no fan model number
I'm always afraid that the port will wear out...
I only got stuck with the cable on the laptop once and since then it has had a loose connection, if that happens with the steamdeck it's pretty bad, it only has one.
don't like playing with the charging cable plugged in either
Try one of those magnetic USB plugs
Thanks for the vid it helped me decide to just get a 40 watt 65 output for my steam deck instead
Nice nice. "Hopefully this won't cause issues teehee"
Quick question: how did it feel weight-wise playing the Deck with the power bank attached? The Deck is already a bit on the heavier side; does this make it uncomfortably heavy? Would you be alright playing for just as long?
Jsaux method of mounting is without magnets thankfuly.
Got the deckmate for this reason. It uses the camera kind of mounts and 3m tape
@@H3lloSE where Jsaux goes you wont need tape. It's a strap so no perminant change to anything you connect up to that.

that will destroy your fan does not matter on which one fans and magnets don't mix
Using magnets? Doesn't that mess with the fan?
It might do if you have the delta fan but we show you how to check in the video
Is fifa 23 working on steam deck due to proton 7.0-6?
no due to the anti cheat
@@SteamDeckGaming what about fifa 22
i just use something like go pro mount stick to case
After testing my power bank, USB C charger, dock, and Steam Deck power cord, they all charge about the same (20+W)
What power bank have you got? It should be higher than that, does it warn you of a slow charge?
Or...just use a deckmate with any powerbank of your choosing.
Jus bought one
your power bank link does not work
works ok for me, what country are you?

oops, now you know what I was looking into next :D copied the wrong link, thanks
Too bulky and heavy.
A powerbank in your pocket with a cord long enough to reach the deck. Is a more practical solution.
I wouldnt put a magnet anywhere near the deck!
So Dbrand was all over the news for spending millions due to the recall given magnets can break the device and now another company wants to do the same?

It only puts their devices at risk if they don't check, i'd rather they be informed than buy it without knowing the risk at all

@@DaRadicalCavy you can’t go to the settings page and see the fan info as shown!in the video. Otherwise everyone can check. No need to open the deck
We show how to check the fan type on the video. Are you saying it doesn’t show for you?
@@SteamDeckGaming doesn't show for me nope. Maybe a bug but even so, I just don't think you can expect the average buyer to go to such lengths to not risk damaging their device.
Lame mine has the delta fan.
that sucks, you could still use it unmounted though, which you would have to do anyway if have a case on it.
You can replace the fan with the huay. It's $30-$50 to buy. Easy to swap over. Lots of guides out there.
links dont show the antank
thanks, they are looking into it
