I just bought the 64Gb model and a 2Tb drive (will be about a week to get delivered).

What are some essential accessories to pair with the steam deck?

My most essential item is my power bank (I recommend the big 30k mah baseus one).

Following that, a cheap anker dock, a shoulder backpack, an xbox controller, a retractible usb c cable, headphones

Xbox controllers are just awesome with it and are really solid bluetooth-wise. I got a bunch while they were on sale for xmas so that my kids and I could all play 4 player couch co-op games on the tv. It's been a blast.

I'd tried the same with a rpi and some janky set of various controllers and it just flopped and was 95% spent troubleshooting. Once I standardized and get them setup it's been silky smooth and robust as hell even with new updates.

Nice that's awesome, what couch coop games have you been playing?

Lovers from a dangerous spacetime

Ibb and obb

Overcooked

Pikuniku

Stick fight

These are some of the few that my fairly young kids could "get" without too much frustration
