For my smol hands, the Skull & co back button extensions.
Those look nice!
I think I bought a knockoff brand but these are great and just make it easier to press the back buttons, even if you don’t have small hands.
The Mechanism Deckmate, mostly with the Kickstand attached.
I also use it to attach a portable battery and the Kickstand to find comfortable gaming angles and while I’m charging it.
Other than that, I’ve got a pair of KSC75s to wear when I need them (I mostly just play my games muted anyway) and I guess the hall effect Gullikit sticks might count since my left stick developed drift.
Right angle USB-C adaptors to change the angle of the charging cable.
USB-C Y cable to connect power and external SSD at the same time.
External USB-C SSD:

Honestly in 3 years I never felt the need for any accessories, other than a 1TB SSD.
Before mine started to have problems and I had to send it in for repairs, I would definitely have to say either my dock or 3rd party switch controller, if that counts.
With the dock, official, I knew I had something I could use to just plug into a TV and call it good. Allowed me to go through Dead Money in New Vegas on the TV in my room, so I could have a better view of what was going on compared to the tiny screen.
And if the controller counts, I absolutely love using it in general even if I’m not playing games because of the headphone jack at the bottom that allowed me to be up in the middle of the night, listening to music (either in game or on desktop mode) without having to worry about the apartment above or my family hearing what I’m listening to. It’s USB too, so no battery to worry about when I had my deck docked, especially since I’m not a big bluetooth fan and only use it pretty much when absolutely necessary.
The Deckmate, super easy to play with portable batteries attached to the back.
Strain relief usbc adapter was mentioned.
My Frankenstein Bluetooth audio mixer setup so I can headphones to multiple devices is probably the most important to its use.

Wired headphones. They dont ever need a charge and they make the content more immersive
Anything particular?
Best $15 ive ever spent on headphones, and the mic makes me sound great too :)
I was playing with my shokz and I was like “ok well this is about what I expected”. But those died and I still wanted to squash bugs so I plugged in my good headphones, holy shit dude it’s night and day. I kind of feel those guys who miss the headphones jack on the phone now.
This soft grip from Skull & Co. because it lets the deck stand up on its own.
Seems like nice quality for sure. I feel like I’m kind of torn between this and the accessory attachment systems that I’ve seen so far. I wonder if there’s any soft grips that only go on the ends?
Chinesium-silicone aloy case against sweaty palms
One if my best gaming investments
A cheap slim case I got for my Steam Deck so the side seams don’t get filled with gamer gunk. It also made the grips a little thicker so they felt more comfortable than without the case. And then some random joystick covers which provides some grip.
I’ve got something I can only describe as a “gamer’s breastfeeding pillow”, it’s a sort of U-shaped pillow which you rest your arms and Deck on. Handy for a long play session if your arms get tired.
…a “gamer’s breastfeeding pillow”…
I laughed pretty hard at this!
Any links to where to buy it?
I think this is the one I have, but any web search for “gaming pillow” should find plenty of options
Official dock with a pair of 8bitdo controllers and their dongles.
Battery pack and battery strap.
A 2m USB extension cable. I know it’s supposed to be bad but it’s unusable without one. And it hardly ever catches on fire.
I bought a 3 meter extension cable from a thrift shop. Europlugs are wonderful for how slim those are.
