Best Steam Deck Accessories for TV Play, Travel and Desk

Docks, cases, screen protectors and 45W USB-C charging for Steam Deck OLED and LCD, with SteamOS notes and UK offers checked on 8 November 2026.

Published . Updated . 22 min read.

Grey handheld gaming PC with a blank screen, square trackpad and stick, sitting in the base of an open black hard-shell case with a fabric handle. A sliver of a second handheld shows along the top rim.

For most Steam Deck owners, the useful accessories are a dock for a TV or desk, a case, a screen protector, and a USB-C charger or power bank that can supply the Deck's 45W input. This is an aggregator guide. It uses Valve's OLED specs, the LCD specs, the official dock specs, and the current pages from JSAUX and Anker. OpenFrag did not run these accessories on a Steam Deck.

Quick picks

Official dock: Valve Steam Deck Docking Station. It is the only dock here with DisplayPort as well as HDMI, and Valve says it holds both OLED and LCD models. There is no Amazon button. On 8 November 2026 the UK listing titled "UK Version" had no featured offer. The only other offer was New, sold by Tenor Tech Ltd and dispatched by Tenor Tech Ltd, not by Amazon and not by Valve. It was not labelled Amazon Global Store. Because that offer was not the featured buy box, both buttons for B0C349WPZG are left off this page.

Value dock: JSAUX 6-in-1, model field HB0603 on the UK listing.

Offer check, 8 November 2026: New, sold by JS Digital UK, dispatches from Amazon. The all-offers list for this ASIN was New from that seller. Not labelled Amazon Resale or Amazon Global Store. The listing's model field says HB0603. JSAUX's current page also uses the name HB0603S for the upgraded dock.

Dock from a charger brand: Anker A83S1. The button is with that pick below. The UK title says 90W fast charging, while the same listing's bullets and wattage field say 100W.

Travel case: JSAUX hard case, model BG0106X, grey.

Offer check, 8 November 2026: New, sold by JS Digital UK, dispatches from Amazon. Not labelled Amazon Resale or Amazon Global Store. The product details did not show a warranty term.

Kickstand cover: JSAUX PC0105. The button is with that pick below. The listing says it is not compatible with the JSAUX dock.

Screen protectors: JETech 2-pack for the 7.4 inch OLED and the 7 inch LCD, or Spigen EZ Fit glass, model AGL05600. Buttons are with those picks below. Both listings describe clear glass. On the current Steam Deck compare list, only the 1TB OLED has premium anti-glare etched glass.

Spare charger: Anker A2653, a 45W USB-C charger with a UK Type G plug.

Power banks: Anker A1383, 20,000mAh, colour Violet on this UK listing, and the smaller Anker Nano A1638. The Nano's 45W figure is a single-port maximum. The UK listing says it cannot sustain 45W charging for long, and it does not recommend the bank for a laptop. Anker's A1638 spec gives 15W on the USB-C cable and 7.5W on the USB-C port when those two are used together, and 7.5W on each of the cable, USB-C port and USB-A when all three are used. That is not a sustained Steam Deck charge. Buttons are with those picks below.

What Valve specifies

The OLED tech page lists a 45W USB-C PD 3.0 input, a 2.5m cable on the included supply, a 50Whr battery rated for 3 to 12 hours, and external video as DisplayPort over USB-C up to 8K at 60Hz or 4K at 120Hz, with USB 3 Gen 2. The screen is 7.4 inch, 1280 x 800, up to 90Hz. SteamOS 3 is Arch-based, with a KDE Plasma desktop.

The LCD tech page also lists a 45W USB-C PD 3.0 input, with a 1.5m cable, a 40Whr battery rated for 2 to 8 hours, and USB-C with DisplayPort 1.4 Alt Mode up to the same 8K at 60Hz or 4K at 120Hz, plus USB 3.2 Gen 2. The screen is 7 inch, 1280 x 800, 60Hz. The operating system line is the same SteamOS 3 and KDE Plasma. The OLED page does not print the words "DisplayPort 1.4". This guide does not add them.

The official dock spec lists DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI 2.0, up to 4K at 60Hz or 1440p at 120Hz, MST for more than one monitor, FreeSync (VRR), three USB-A 3.1 Gen1 ports, gigabit Ethernet, and a USB-C power delivery passthrough input. A PSU with a 1.5m cable is in the box. Valve's footnote says MST currently requires both the HDMI and DisplayPort ports to be in use. The dock page says the shape holds the Deck whether you have OLED or LCD, and that the compatibility work extends to third-party hubs and docks.

The Amazon UK bullets for B0C349WPZG still say "FreeSync support is in-progress, update is forthcoming", and they say the box includes a UK power adapter. Valve's current spec page already lists FreeSync (VRR) support. Those two sources do not match. This guide does not decide which text a Tenor Tech Ltd unit would follow, and it does not link the listing.

Valve's compare list, checked the same day, includes a carrying case with the 256GB LCD and the 512GB OLED, and a carrying case with a removable liner on the 1TB OLED. Anti-glare etched glass is listed on the 1TB OLED line only. Prices on that page are not repeated here.

Comparison

Port and power cells come from the maker page or the UK listing named in the row, checked on 8 November 2026. Dock wattage is a pass-through rating, not a measurement of what the Deck draws. A 4K or 120Hz port rating is not a promise that a game will hold that timing. The 1440p monitor guide covers what happens when a dock sits between a Deck and a high-refresh screen. This table does not repeat those panels.

JSAUX's current spec says Steam Deck LCD and OLED. The UK model field says HB0603, not HB0603S. JSAUX's FAQ: Game Mode shows the picture on the external display only. Two screens need Desktop Mode. Ethernet may need Desktop Mode after a SteamOS update. New, sold by JS Digital UK, dispatches from Amazon. Not Amazon Resale or Amazon Global Store.
JSAUX HB0603 with charger, B0BQW6YCS5 Same dock claims as the HB0603 row. Listing fields disagree on the charger: wattage 45W, and max output of charger 65W. Power input is listed as PD 100W max. Same naming split as the dock row. The listing says it is not for the ROG Xbox Ally or Ally X. Same JSAUX FAQ as the dock row. The included charger wattage is not settled by the listing.

UK title names Steam Deck (OLED). Anker says no kickstand case, and case thickness not over 2mm. Not for the ROG Ally X. The user guide lists SteamOS among supported systems, with macOS 12 and Windows 10. Anker says to use a 45W or stronger adapter with a Steam Deck on this hub. New, sold by AnkerDirect UK, dispatches from Amazon. A Used, like new offer was also listed. Colour field says Black or White. What You Get says 18-month warranty. Not Amazon Global Store.
JSAUX case BG0106X Listing: room for a charger, dock and small power bank. Accessories are not included. Grey. Part JSDEBG0106GY. Title and bullets name Steam Deck OLED, and also say Steam Deck.

JSAUX PC0105 TPU cover. Kickstand angles on the listing: 35, 45, 55 and 65 degrees. Compatible devices field: Steam Deck and Steam Deck OLED. Listing says it is not compatible with the JSAUX dock, and a skin decal can spoil the fit. Anker's 2mm and kickstand limits also rule this cover out for the A83S1. No software claim. New, sold by JS Digital UK, dispatches from Amazon. Used offers were sold by Amazon Resale. Choose New. Product details say 18 months. Not Amazon Global Store.
JETech 2-pack, model 1240 Listing: 9H tempered glass, clear, 2-pack. Listing: 7.4 inch OLED (2023) and 7 inch Steam Deck (2021 and 2022). Clear glass covers the 1TB OLED etched finish.

What You Get says 24-month warranty. Not Amazon Global Store.
Anker power bank A1383 UK bullets: 87W across three devices, up to 65W to one device, built-in USB-C cable, 20,000mAh. Anker's A1383 description lists 65W max on the USB-C cable or port, 22.5W max on USB-A, and 87W total. Not a Deck-specific bank. Colour on this UK listing is Violet. No SteamOS claim. No play-time estimate is printed here, because the Deck's own range is 3 to 12 hours on OLED and 2 to 8 hours on LCD. New, sold by AnkerDirect UK, dispatches from Amazon. What You Get says an 18-month warranty. The warranty field also reads 18.00, which is not a period. The 18-month line is a listing claim, not confirmed coverage. No Global Store label was observed; confirm warranty coverage with the seller/manufacturer.
Anker Nano A1638 UK spec: single-port max output 45W, output wattage 45W, 10,000mAh. The listing says it cannot sustain 45W for long at high power, and it does not recommend the bank for a laptop. Anker's spec: USB-C cable 15W and USB-C port 7.5W together, or 7.5W on each port when the cable, USB-C port and USB-A are all used. Bullets also say 40W for an iPhone 17. Retractable cable. 30W max input in the bullets. Not a Deck-specific bank. Colour Black. Bullets say the bank weighs 232g. A separate battery-weight field says 144g. The 45W figure is not a sustained Deck charge. No SteamOS claim. The chart bar is the published single-port maximum only. New, sold by AnkerDirect UK, dispatches from Amazon. A Used, like new offer was also listed. What You Get says 24-month. Product details say 18-month. Those lines conflict, and neither is confirmed coverage. Not labelled Amazon Resale or Amazon Global Store.

The Nano bar is that listing's single-port maximum. The page caption says the UK listing does not sustain 45W for long, so the bar is not a Steam Deck charge.

Chart caption: Rated USB-C watts from Valve and from the maker or Amazon UK listing, checked 8 November 2026. Steam Deck OLED input 45W. Anker A2653 charger 45W maximum. Anker Nano A1638 single-port maximum 45W. The UK listing says that 45W is not sustained for long at high power, and it does not recommend the bank for a laptop. Anker's spec then limits a shared USB-C cable to 15W and the USB-C port to 7.5W, or 7.5W on each port when the cable, USB-C port and USB-A are all used. The same bullets also say 40W for an iPhone 17. The bar is the published single-port maximum, not a sustained Steam Deck charge. Anker A1383 up to 65W to one device, inside an 87W total. Anker A83S1 dock 100W PD-in. The UK title for that dock also says 90W, and Anker Japan's A83S1 spec lists 100W input and 90W output on the PD port. JSAUX HB0603 dock 100W PD. Dock bars are pass-through input ratings, not the power the Deck draws. Not an OpenFrag measurement.

The picks

Valve Steam Deck Docking Station

This is the dock to read first if you want DisplayPort, HDMI, or two external screens. Valve's spec is quoted above. The third-party docks in this guide are HDMI only, so they give up DisplayPort and Valve's MST note.

Who it is for: a TV or desk where you want the official dock, DisplayPort, or the MST arrangement Valve describes.

Who it is not for: someone who only needs one HDMI cable and would rather buy a third-party hub. Valve says that is a supported path.

Offer check, 8 November 2026: no featured offer on the UK listing. The only other offer was New, sold by Tenor Tech Ltd, and it dispatches from Tenor Tech Ltd. The product details field says "2 year manufacturer". That field is not a promise from a seller who is not Valve, and this page does not link the listing. Buy from Valve if you want the official dock. The Amazon bullets and Valve's FreeSync line still disagree, as noted above.

JSAUX 6-in-1, HB0603: value dock

JSAUX's current page describes an upgraded 6-in-1 with HDMI 2.1 rated to 4K at 120Hz, a 100W PD input, three USB-A 3.0 ports and gigabit Ethernet. The spec block for HB0603S says each USB-A port is 5 Gbps and 5V at 1A, and it lists Steam Deck LCD and OLED. The same page says HB0603S is not for the ROG Xbox Ally or Ally X. The UK listing's model field is HB0603, and its bullets match the upgraded HDMI 2.1 and 100W wording, without a 5V/1A line. Treat 5 Gbps and 5V/1A as the current JSAUX page, and the model name on the UK offer as HB0603.

JSAUX's own FAQ on that page says a 4K at 60Hz setup uses an HDMI cable, Desktop Mode, and the in-game setting. Game Mode, in that FAQ, leaves the Deck's screen dark and shows the picture on the external display. Two screens need a reboot into Desktop Mode. Ethernet, after a SteamOS update, may need to be enabled in Desktop Mode. The FAQ also says to connect the power adapter while docked if a mouse or keyboard misbehaves. Those are the maker's steps, not an OpenFrag result. A 4K at 120Hz port rating is not the same as the 4K at 60Hz setup in that FAQ, and it is above the 1440p at 120Hz ceiling Valve prints for the official dock.

Who it is for: one HDMI screen, with the LCD and OLED fit JSAUX prints for the current 6-in-1.

Who it is not for: DisplayPort, or a second monitor in Game Mode.

A second listing bundles that dock with a charger. The colour field says "Grey with 65W Charger", and a field called max output of charger says 65W. The wattage field on the same table says 45 watts. Power input is listed as PD 100W max. The bullets say it is not for the ROG Xbox Ally or Ally X. Do not treat 65W as settled while the wattage field still says 45W.

Offer check, 8 November 2026: New, sold by JS Digital UK, dispatches from Amazon. Product details say "6 months manufacturer". Not labelled Amazon Global Store. That warranty line is the listing text, not a separate promise from this page.

Anker A83S1: dock from a charger brand

Anker's A83S1 user guide lists HDMI 2.0 up to 4K at 60Hz, a PD-in port up to 100W, two USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports and one USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 port at 5 Gbps, and Ethernet at 10/100/1000 Mbps. Supported systems on that guide include SteamOS. Anker's product page says to use a 45W or stronger adapter with a Steam Deck on this hub, to avoid HDMI to DisplayPort cables or adapters, and that a kickstand case or a case thicker than 2mm will not fit. It also says the hub is not compatible with the ROG Ally X. A note on that page says the yellow light comes on when charging a Steam Deck OLED, whether the charger is 45W or stronger, and that Anker expects the charge to take about 2 to 5 minutes longer than the original charger. That is Anker's note.

The UK title says "90W Fast Charging" and "Steam Deck (OLED)", and it says the hub is not for the ROG Ally X. The UK bullets and the wattage field say 100W PD-in, with two USB-A ports and one USB-C port at 5 Gbps, and 4K at 60Hz HDMI. Anker Japan's spec for A83S1 lists the PD port as 100W maximum input and 90W maximum output. The UK listing does not print that split. Read 100W as the PD-in figure from the user guide and the UK bullets, and 90W as the UK title, with Japan's page as the only Anker spec here that states both.

The UK colour field says Black or White. Confirm the colour on the offer before you buy. The What You Get line says an 18-month warranty, an 8.66 inch (220 mm) Ethernet cable, and the hub. The offer was not an Amazon Global Store offer. This page does not add a warranty beyond that line.

Who it is for: a desk with one HDMI screen at up to 4K at 60Hz, using a 45W or stronger USB-C adapter.

Who it is not for: DisplayPort, a kickstand cover such as the PC0105, or a case thicker than 2mm.

JSAUX carrying case, BG0106X

The UK title is a hard-shell travel case for Steam Deck and ROG Ally, and for Steam Deck OLED. The model field is BG0106X, part JSDEBG0106GY, colour grey. The bullets say it is designed for Steam Deck (OLED), ROG Ally, ROG Ally X (2024) and PlayStation Portal, and that a charger, dock and small power bank can go in with the handheld. They also say the Deck or Ally can stay in a protective case. They do not add a separate line for an LCD Deck under a thick cover, so that fit is not confirmed here. Accessories are not in the box. No warranty term appeared in the product details.

Who it is for: travel with the charger and a dock, if the listing's OLED and "Steam Deck" wording matches your model.

Who it is not for: someone already using the case Valve includes. The current compare list includes a case with the 256GB LCD and the 512GB OLED, and a case with a removable liner on the 1TB OLED.

The tomtoc listing is a soft Arccos sling, not a hard case. The bullets say it is made for Steam Deck and Steam Deck OLED, and also for several other handhelds, with room for a dock, charger and HDMI cables. The compatible-model field says Steam Deck only. The title also names ROG Xbox Ally models. No warranty term appeared in the product details. Sold by tomtoc EU Official means that seller name on the offer, not a separate shop.

JSAUX PC0105 kickstand cover

The UK title is a TPU cover for Steam Deck and Steam Deck OLED, model PC0105, colour black. The compatible-devices field repeats Steam Deck and Steam Deck OLED. The bullets list kickstand angles of 35, 45, 55 and 65 degrees. They also say the cover is not compatible with the JSAUX docking station, and that a skin decal can stop it fitting. Anker's A83S1 page excludes kickstand cases and cases thicker than 2mm, so this cover is the wrong partner for both docks in this guide. Take it off before you dock.

Offer check, 8 November 2026: New, sold by JS Digital UK, dispatches from Amazon. Used offers on the same ASIN were sold by Amazon Resale. Choose the New offer. Amazon Resale is not the New listing. Product details say 18 months. The offer was not labelled Amazon Global Store, and this page does not extend that 18 month line into a broader promise.

JETech or Spigen glass

The JETech listing, model 1240, is a 2-pack of clear 9H glass. The compatible-models field says 7.4 inch OLED Steam Deck (2023) and 7 inch Steam Deck (2021 and 2022). That matches Valve's 7.4 inch OLED and 7 inch LCD sizes. The 9H figure is the listing's hardness claim.

Spigen's bullets for AGL05600 say one pack of 9H glass for Valve Steam Deck LCD 2022 and OLED 2023, crystal clear, and case friendly with a Spigen case. The spec table's compatible-models field only says Valve Steam Deck, which is broader than the bullet and does not repeat the 2022 and 2023 years. Use the bullet for the year claim, and treat the shorter spec line as less specific, not as a third model.

Valve lists premium anti-glare etched glass on the 1TB OLED only. A clear protector, which is what both of these listings describe, sits over that etch. The 512GB OLED line on the compare page does not list etched glass.

Anker A2653 45W charger

Valve's input for both OLED and LCD is 45W USB-C PD 3.0. The UK listing for A2653 is a single-port USB-C charger, colour black, Type G plug, with a 5 ft USB-C cable. The output table lists 5V at 3A, 9V at 3A, 12V at 3A, 15V at 3A, and 20V at 2.25A, marked 45W max, plus PPS from 3.3V to 21V at 2.25A, also marked 45W max. The bullets talk about Samsung Super Fast Charging 2.0 and a range of USB-C phones. They do not say Steam Deck, and they do not say USB Power Delivery. A 45W maximum and a 20V step are what the table shows. They are not a written PD 3.0 or Deck claim. The What You Get line says a 24-month warranty. The offer was not Amazon Global Store.

Who it is for: a spare UK Type G USB-C charger at a 45W maximum, if you accept that the Deck match is the wattage and the connector, not a sentence on the listing.

Who it is not for: anyone who needs the listing to name Steam Deck or PD 3.0 before they buy.

Anker power banks

The larger bank is A1383. The UK title is a 20,000mAh 87W power bank with a built-in USB-C cable. The colour field says Violet, so this button is that colour, not a black unit from another listing. The bullets say 87W across three devices and up to 65W to one device. Anker's A1383 description lists 65W maximum on the USB-C cable or USB-C port, 22.5W maximum on USB-A, and 87W total. The UK connector field says a built-in USB-C cable plus one USB-C and one USB-A, which matches that port count. Nothing on the listing estimates extra Deck hours. Valve's own ranges stay 3 to 12 hours on OLED and 2 to 8 hours on LCD, and they depend on the game.

The UK What You Get line says an 18-month warranty. The product details warranty field reads "18.00", which is not a period. The 18-month line is what the listing claims. It is not confirmed coverage. No Global Store label was observed; confirm warranty coverage with the seller/manufacturer.

The smaller bank is the Anker Nano, model A1638, colour black, 10,000mAh. The UK spec fields say single-port max output 45W and output wattage 45W. That is a maximum on one port, not a rate the listing says it holds. The listing's own FAQ says it does not recommend the bank for a laptop, because limited capacity and heat during high-power output mean it cannot sustain 45W charging for long, and that it is better kept for a short top-up. The same FAQ says one port is limited to 15W when two ports are in use, and to 7.5W on each port when three are in use. Anker's A1638 spec is more specific about the split: the USB-C cable and USB-C port together are 22.5W maximum, as 15W on the cable and 7.5W on the port, and the cable, USB-C port and USB-A are 7.5W each when all three are used. None of those shared figures is a 45W Steam Deck supply. The bullets also say the USB-C port and cable support 40W for an iPhone 17. They say the bank weighs 232g, while a battery-weight field says 144g. Those are different labels, so this page does not merge them into one weight. The chart bar is the published 45W single-port maximum only. What You Get says a 24-month warranty. Product details say 18-month. Those lines conflict, and this page does not confirm either.

Offer check, 8 November 2026: New, sold by AnkerDirect UK, dispatches from Amazon. A Used, like new offer from AnkerDirect UK was also listed. Choose New. Not labelled Amazon Resale or Amazon Global Store. What You Get says 24-month and product details say 18-month. The listing says 45W is not sustained for long. Anker's shared-port spec is 15W on the USB-C cable and 7.5W on the USB-C port, or 7.5W on each of three ports.

Display and charging caveats

  • Two displays: Valve's dock supports MST only when both HDMI and DisplayPort are in use, and Valve says an update is forthcoming. JSAUX and Anker each have one HDMI port in the specs cited here.
  • Game Mode: JSAUX says Game Mode sends the picture to the external display and leaves the Deck dark. Two screens, on that FAQ, need Desktop Mode.
  • USB power on the JSAUX dock: the current HB0603S spec says 5V at 1A on each USB-A port, which is 5W. The UK HB0603 bullets do not repeat that limit. A bus-powered drive can want more than 5W.
  • Charging while docked: Valve's dock has USB-C PD passthrough and a PSU in the box. JSAUX says to connect the adapter while docked. Anker says 45W or stronger for a Steam Deck on the A83S1, and its product page recommends a 100W charger for the hub's own power needs and for ROG Ally turbo mode.
  • Official dock ceiling: 4K at 60Hz or 1440p at 120Hz on Valve's dock page. A third-party HDMI rating above that is the dock port, not a higher Deck mode this guide has measured.
  • Cases and docks: PC0105 is listed as incompatible with the JSAUX dock. Anker excludes kickstand cases and cases over 2mm. Remove that cover before either dock.

FAQ

Do I need the official Steam Deck dock?

No. Valve's dock page says the compatibility work also covers third-party hubs and docks. The official dock is the one here with DisplayPort, and Valve says it holds OLED and LCD. On 8 November 2026 the Amazon UK listing had no featured offer, so this page does not link it.

What wattage charger or power bank does the Deck need?

Valve's OLED specs and the LCD specs both say a 45W USB-C PD 3.0 input. The Anker A2653 listing shows a 45W USB-C maximum and PPS. It does not say PD 3.0 or Steam Deck. The A1383 bank is listed at up to 65W to one device. The Nano A1638 single-port field says 45W, and the same bullets say 40W for an iPhone 17. The UK listing says the Nano cannot sustain 45W for long. Anker's A1638 spec gives 15W on the USB-C cable and 7.5W on the USB-C port together, or 7.5W on each port when all three are used. That is not a sustained Deck charge.

HDMI or DisplayPort for a TV?

A TV usually wants HDMI. Valve's dock has HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.4. The JSAUX and Anker docks in this guide are HDMI only. JSAUX rates HDMI 2.1 to 4K at 120Hz. Anker's user guide rates HDMI 2.0 to 4K at 60Hz. Valve's own dock ceiling is 4K at 60Hz or 1440p at 120Hz.

Does a third-party dock work on SteamOS?

Valve says the dock work also helps third-party hubs. Anker's A83S1 user guide lists SteamOS as a supported system. JSAUX's FAQ says Game Mode uses the external display only, two screens need Desktop Mode, and Ethernet may need Desktop Mode after a SteamOS update.

Will a screen protector fit OLED and LCD?

The JETech listing names the 7.4 inch OLED from 2023 and the 7 inch model from 2021 and 2022. Spigen's bullets name LCD 2022 and OLED 2023, while its spec table only says Valve Steam Deck. Both describe clear glass. Valve's compare list puts anti-glare etched glass on the 1TB OLED only, so a clear sheet covers that finish.

Will a dock charge the Deck while I play?

Valve's dock has USB-C power passthrough and includes a PSU. JSAUX says to connect the power adapter while docked. Anker says to use 45W or more with a Steam Deck on the A83S1. The JSAUX bundle listing lists both a 45W wattage field and a 65W charger output field, so confirm which charger is in that box.
