Sorry PC gamers, the Steam Deck will not be on sale during Prime Day. If you already own a Valve gaming handheld (or plan to purchase one in an upcoming Steam Sale), then Amazon's Deal Day is a great time to get some Steam Deck accessories at incredibly low prices. The Steam Deck comes with a nice charger and a case, but most of our team members have added a microSD for extra storage.
There are also some accessories that can enhance your Steam Deck experience. This is especially true if you want to dock the device like a portable computer, charge it on the move, or keep the screen safe.
Amazon Prime Day is a great time to buy Steam Deck accessories.
A cheap dock which does the job
Sabrent is a reputable brand and our pick for the best Steam Deck dock at a low price is even cheaper during Prime Day. It's only a quarter of the price of Valve Dock!

- Here are thebest Prime Day PC Gaming deals .
A 512GB MicroSD card for a lot of games
This microSD isn't the fastest, but the Steam Deck has been designed to work with A1 microSD cards, so a slightly faster card will not be of any use when playing games. The only place you'd see a small speed advantage is in installing/decompressing games on a gigabit internet connection. Once you're in-game, the difference is not noticeable. Buy this one and save money.
Steam Deck has a lot of compact games that take up only a few gigabytes or less. If you want to add Elden Ring or Baldur's Gate 3 to your SSD, it can become a bit crowded. A portable library that is large will need 512GB of extra storage.

A screen protector made of glass for extra protection
This two-pack of JSAUX screen protectors, another of our favorite Steam Deck Accessories, is only $2 off... they're normally just $10, so that's a 20% discount. With that money, you could buy a Costco Hot Dog.
The fact that this JSAUX kit comes with two screen guards means I don't have to worry about messing up installation. The frame included will help you ensure that you get the screen protector on correctly. Wish I had one of these when I got a small scratch in my Deck's display.

A pair earbuds to hear with
The most versatile item in this list, you will use these earbuds to sync up with your Steam Deck when you need them. You'll also use them more often to sync them up with your phone or laptop. These are a direct upgrade to my Sony XM4s, which I love. They have better noise cancellation and a smaller profile.
A compact portable battery to keep you charged up
Anker is a good brand to choose. There are many power banks on the market, but choosing a high-quality one will reduce the chance that it will fail you in six months. Keep in mind that the Steam Deck requires 45 watts to charge quickly and that airplanes only accept power banks up to 27,000mAh.
