Screen Protector, hall sensor sticks, an external cooling system (The one you showed does literally nothing lol. That one is hilariously bad. It makes NO sense), and maybe a battery pack I ordered my Steam Deck OLED yesterday and now I can't focus on anything. I'm staring at my screen all day yesterday and today refreshing the shipping progress screen I also used the "Klim Cool +" on my Laptop which rly did help. I eventually upgraded to an IETS GT500 which is infinitely better. But now I use my Klim Cool + on my Switch while it's docked, since it gets rly hot on the dock these days. It still works. I've seen a vacuum cooling system like the Klim Cool + by JSAUX and it works. I'll get that before I get a dock. I don't like my stuff being in the 70s or higher, tbh. 69C is the highest I'll go with any of my stuff
From what I've heard about the TSA they don't need a reason to stop you, and just generally like being a pain. Well there goes any holiday opportunities I have to visit the USA 😮
okay as someone who owns a xreal sunglasses they are nice for a bit but the pins that are needed to stay on your nose will pinch you after regular use they also drain your steam decks battery for sure i also ran into heat problems with the glasses after about a hour of use.
if you can find it at the right price the Valve Steam Controller works super well in 2024 thanks to the improvements to steam input, I still use one to this day.
On controllers, I do recommend getting the Vader 3 Pro or one of the GuliKit KK controller, they're all amazingly good with hall effect drift proof joysticks. And actually, don't know if you've tried that but the Jsaux fan works really well with the Steam Deck and I highly recommend it!
is it safe to use in the long run? I've been thinking to get one not because I always intensive games but rather for longetivity of internal fans and steam deck itself
@@Venlorzdon’t use any cooling fan. Even Jsaux. They all do literally nothing but drain your battery. Blowing air on the back of the plastic won’t cool off anything going on inside.
@@therealandlegitsoapybubble Hi sir, I bought one this cooler and it works actually. been trying to test in different config... i think it shouldn't be called cooler but an exhaust. it helps the internal fan to have less RPM even in low settings of the external fan. Also, it is even stops the internal fan and make the external fan do all the work. It has own battery.
Time for a new Steam Deck Video! I vote trying controllers! I love my Stadia controllers but would love seeing other options. Kinda curious to see which old controllers I could get to work. Wavebirds? Xbox 360 controllers? Wiimotes?
I use my Steam Deck plugged into my Baseus 65watt PD power bank sometimes. If I'm on the go and need more juice (highly recommend taking a hammock to the park and gaming for awhile on a nice day.) Anyways, you can just use any old USB C cable for this. But it's slightly annoying to play plugged in. So I wanted a way for the cable to be as out of the way as possible. Where you could almost forget it's plugged in. After some trial and error I have it setup really nicely. Instead of a 90 degree USB C adapter. They sell 180 degree adapters where the cable runs along the back of the Deck. I have the 90 degree ones but the 180 is much better. The other part is to find a very flexible USB C cable. If you're a PC gamer you might know that before wireless mice were the standard. High end gaming nice had cables that were incredibly lightweight and flexible. The Anker Powerline III Flow does this really well. Compared to say, my stock MacBook charger. The cable is thinner and so much more flexible. This really helps because the cable never has any tension to it, no matter how you move it. You can get both of these things for like $20 - $25 and it makes playing while plugged in infinitely more comfortable. Something people don't think about but it's one of my favorite additions to my OLED.
Hi don't usually subscribe to many "best bits you need" video makers but I like the vibe from you and the way you present your videos, no annoying background music or crammed in continuous speech with no breath in between words ... thanks for the info too couple of bits I will be looking at! ..... also Cat Hair ... I know your torment we have a cat and a Husky and there is only so much brushing you can do before you start to go mad .. LOL.. Thanks 🖖😉😂
I stay away from the TV glasses. Had a pair that lasted less than a year. Just daily use from the heat caused the plastic to become brittle and break apart.
I got a dock with cooling fans and it helps with my heavy games but it also blows into the intake fan so it works well. If i got one without the fans, im sure it would still be fine lol
3:00 every youtuber seems to recommend the Tomtoc above the Jsaux sling bag. What would you say is the biggest advantage? Is it worth for me to get a tomtoc that at this moment is almost $20 more than the jsaux sling bag
They are both nice, I just prefer the material of the tomtoc and form factor. I can use it even without a steamdeck, but the jsaux I feel like I never would. But both are cool!
@@JasonWitmerYT Nice. I think the Jsaux looks cooler, but it does look like a game sling. Could probably sew a panel or something on the tomtoc to liven it up
About time! :) What should I considered when buying some skins, I had a bad experience on this during the early year of technology when you put skin on laptop. When you remove the skin some gunk of the skin usually stays there hahah
haha id say now its quite the opposite, as people have a hard time keeping skins on forever. you should be good to go, as most of the skins are just fine quality - just check the reviews to make sure its not complete crap quality. If you get bored of it, they peel off easily and dont leave residue that some alcohol cant get off :) thanks for watching!
@@JasonWitmerYT Noice!!! Okay will do it. Also do you have info that Dragon Dogma 2 will work on SD? ahahaha because if yes I will buy SD-Oled rn since I have saved the money for several months now ahahaha! >.
These videos are so funny. Imagine anyone walking around with all this stuff 😂 this is so over the top. They always say stuff like: "the steam decks X is not perfect so just buy a second, better one and carry both of them with you" as if the normal steam deck wasn't heavy and bulky enough.
the only cooler i know that actually works with the steam deck is the one from jsaux and you either need to use the case that it was designed for or you have to stick the mounting plate if you didn't use the case....
I really question what people are doing to need 2TB internals and multiple SD cards. Do you really swap between that many games at once? I only ever have maybe 5 games on SD at once and delete when I'm done. And that stuff is like dave the diver and vampire survivors anyway. Even when emulating switch games it doesn't take up *that* much space.
I have an usb hub for my laptop it is good for SD, I have a wireless mouse, and use a lego car to hold the back of it, it works fine. I tried spend not too much....
For me: Micro SD card: Pick something big and reliable and you are done. Thumb grips: This is HUGELY important, the stock sticks are terrible. Controller: It's best to avoid 1st party PS5 and Xbox controllers because they don't have back buttons, they cheaply made, and the Xbox one doesn't even have a gyro and firmly belongs in the past! There are plenty of 3rd party controllers with gyro, back buttons, hall effects sticks that work very well and are better all around to Sony or Microsoft controllers. Dock: I'm happy with my cheap Temu dock. Screen protector: Always needed! Keyboard and mouse: Mechanical keyboard all the way and a good Razer mouse for me.
I used my dual sense controllers but reconnecting them every time was a hassle. Got a cheap 2,4ghz controller from 8bitdo instead. I would totally get a tshirt if it came in other colours, great design!
Light purple would be insta buy, but any green, blue and green would do too! If you don't use the controllers with ps5 nothing beats the dualsense, really. The 8bitdo ultimate feels cheap but is sturdy. Buttons are pretty good. A little undersized, but I seldom play for more than 5 hours at a time
Thank you for your honest feedback! im basic af so i thought everyone would just want a black shirt like me haha - i updated the design to feature some new colors including light purple :) thanks again for your input and feedback
Be careful when buying micro sd cards from amazon, i got them from the official stores and got them checked and they all came back as fake, was samsung and sandisk.
It's really just a screen protector and a portable battery. There is no other "must haves". And to be completely fair even the portable chargers not necessary

Can vouch for this! I like their controllers
Mine dropped every 5-10 minutes until last update. Now its flawless and I hope it stays so
I can see you got Big Deck Energy.....
😂😂😂😂 Good One
Honestly, typing on the steam deck is really good using the track pads. It's like typing on a phone sorta.
Today my steam deck should arrive!
What size did you get ?
@@riblet0127average
I got the 1.5 TB SD card for my Deck, works great!
Man, the thought of seeing someone with all these accessories makes me think about that kid at school with maxed out Gameboy 😂
