It’s expensive to be a high-end gamer in 2023. You have to buy a console, your yearly subscription, expensive games, and all of the accessories.

But that only gets you the basic requirements. Once you start talking TVs and audio, you’re getting in over your head.

We’re here to help alleviate a small portion of that right now. We’ve compiled the best affordable soundbars for your Xbox Series X that you can buy today.

Why should I get an affordable soundbar?

Most sound systems are bulky and don’t leave space for anything else. Soundbars are a fantastic way to upgrade your TV’s audio without taking up much room.

Not only will it enhance any shows or movies that you want to watch, the built-in audio on TVs for gaming just kind of sucks to begin with. It’s time to hear what the game developers really intended for you to hear.

To keep your bank account from being angry, we’re looking at nothing over $499.99. That might seem like a lot, but soundbars can get way more expensive than that.

Don’t worry, though. We’re keeping your budget in mind here with more affordable soundbars than not. Let’s dive in, shall we?

Razer Leviathan V2

The Razer Leviathan line shows up on these types of lists nearly every time. We’re including it because of its versatility with both PC and mobile devices and the rad RGB Chroma lighting.

It also works great for the Xbox Series X, even though it isn’t actually designed for console gaming. It’s actually designed for a PC.

Utilizing this soundbar for your Xbox would mean plugging it through whatever monitor or TV you’re using to play on, just like most options on this list.

It has THX Spatial Audio, offering 7.1 surround sound, which the Xbox can take advantage of. But, as mentioned, you’re not directly connecting to the console itself.

The original Leviathan model rated 4.3 on Best Buy’s website. The newer V2 model sits at the same 4.3 ratings, making this a solid option. It’s a great “bang for your buck” system.

First, let’s chat about your budget – because, let’s face it, we can’t all splurge on the top-of-the-line model. Second, you’ll want to think about features – because what’s a speaker if it doesn’t sing to your specific needs?

So, let’s get down to business and find that JBL speaker that’s going to best fit your needs.

Budget

Before you take the plunge and pick your JBL speaker, let’s talk dough. Like any shopping spree, JBL offers a wide range of speakers at different prices, so you’ll need to determine how much you’re willing to spend.

There are some great options available even if you’re on a tight budget, so don’t feel you have to break the bank to get a good-quality speaker.

Features

JBL speakers come with various features, so you’ll need to decide which ones are most important to you. The main things to consider are sound quality, battery life, portability, and connectivity.

If you want a speaker that sounds great and can go anywhere, you’ll need to choose a portable speaker with long battery life. Sound quality should be your primary concern if you’re looking for a speaker to use at home.

And if you want to be able to connect multiple devices, you’ll need to make sure that the speaker you choose has Bluetooth or NFC connectivity.

Should you buy refurbished from JBL?

JBL speakers carry a premium price tag, and rightly so; their speakers kick some serious ass. However, if you’re looking to make a budget-savvy purchase, consider opting for a refurbished JBL model.

Rest assured, a refurbished JBL speaker delivers the same audio performance as its brand-new counterpart – but at a fraction of the cost.

Not to mention, these speakers are built like tanks. So given JBL’s renowned durability and longevity, even a previously owned model promises ample lifespan.

Just remember one crucial point: always verify that your chosen speaker has undergone thorough inspection and servicing by JBL professionals. This way, you’re not just buying smart; you’re buying with confidence.”

Refurbished JBL Speakers

4.5

JBL Refurbished Speakers offer a cost-effective audio solution, delivering the renowned JBL sound quality. Despite their refurbished status, these speakers maintain reliable performance and durability, making them an economical choice for music enthusiasts.

What We Like:

• Cost-Effective: Buying a refurbished JBL speaker can save you a significant amount compared to purchasing new, without compromising on sound quality.
• Quality Assurance: JBL ensures that all refurbished products undergo rigorous testing and inspection to meet their high standards.
• Warranty: Refurbished items often come with a warranty, offering peace of mind for your purchase.
• Sustainability: Opting for a refurbished product reduces e-waste and supports sustainability efforts.

Check Availability

JBL speakers can be expensive, so you might be tempted to buy a refurbished model to save money. But is it really worth it?

You should buy a refurbished JBL speaker since it will still have the same excellent sound quality but at a lower price. The quality of JBL speakers makes them last longer, so a refurbished model should have plenty of life.

However, ensure the speaker has been properly inspected and serviced by JBL.

Final thoughts

JBL speakers are known for their high-quality sound and long-lasting durability.

Although they can be quite expensive, they’re worth the investment if you’re looking for a great-sounding speaker that will last for many years.

Take the time to consider your budget and the features you need before choosing the best JBL speaker for you. And if you’re looking to save money, don’t forget that you can always buy a refurbished model

The post The best JBL speakers (2023) appeared first on KnowTechie.

MagSafe was previously known as the charger for MacBook laptops before the company changed over to USB-C. However, this term has taken on a new meaning for the iPhone 12.

MagSafe now refers to a series of magnets installed in the back of iPhones. iPhones have had wireless charging since the iPhone 8, but this new technology will allow wireless charging at up to 15 watts, doubling the wireless charging capacity to keep in line with fast wireless charging on Android devices.

Though wireless charging is the initial focus of this technology, it is not the only function of the feature. The magnets allow for a wide range of accessories to be used with your new iPhone.

Best MagSafe Accessories

There are many different accessories emerging that can be used with MagSafe. From wireless chargers to phone cases, there are a lot of compatible products available. Here are a few of the best MagSafe accessories you can get today:

Apple MagSafe charger

The first on the list is the solid, original MagSafe Charger from Apple. This charger is a wired device that hooks up to your iPhone 12’s MagSafe for easy wireless charging. This is the first charger that allowed for 15-watt charging on iPhones.

Apple MagSafe Duo Charger

Next up is the MagSafe Duo charger from Apple. The Duo charger is another MagSafe charging option from Apple with a little more functionality. In addition to being able to charge your iPhone 12 wirelessly at up to 14 watts, the Duo charger has an extra charging location where you can simultaneously charge your Air Pods.

Satechi 2-in-1 Magnetic wireless charging stand

The Satechi 2-in-1 magnetic wireless charging stand is another versatile option that utilizes MagSafe technology. This charger features a stand where you can charge your phone vertically in portrait mode. It also features a space just below that conveniently fits the AirPods case so you can charge both devices at once.

Belkin MagSafe 3-in-1 wireless charger

Rounding out the MagSafe charger options is the Belkin MagSafe 3-in-1 wireless charger. This device is the king of versatility when it comes to charging your various Apple accessories. Not only does this charger have a magnetized charging stand for your iPhone 12, but it is accompanied by another stand for wirelessly charging your Apple Watch. To top that, this charger also has a charging pad on the base that is perfect for your AirPods.

iPhone 12 Silicone Case with MagSafe

Shifting gears towards MagSafe-compatible cases, we have the iPhone 12 silicone case with MagSafe. This is a sleek, silicone phone case from Apple that features its own magnets to work with the magnets in the iPhone 12. This case is available in several colors and for all versions of the iPhone 12.

Spigen Mag Armor

The next case up on the list is the Spigen Mag Armor. Spigen is a well-known phone case brand, and the Spigen Mag Armor is an affordable option for iPhone 12 that integrates MagSafe technology and still offers good protection for your device. The Spigen Mag Armor is available for all versions of the iPhone 12 and comes with a matte black design.

Otterbox with MagSafe

The last cases on the list are the entire OtterBox Series. OtterBox has long been known for its top-of-the-line phone cases and its added MagSafe to its list of features. OtterBox has been working with Apple since the iPhone 12, and the company has added the technology to its entire list of phone cases. There are many OtterBox options to choose from, so there’s probably a MagSafe OtterBox out there for almost any iPhone 12 user.

Moft MagSafe Stand and Wallet

Moving down on the long list of accessory options for iPhone 12, we have the Moft MagSafe Stand and Wallet. This magnetic wallet/phone stand from Moft is super convenient, allowing users to quickly and easily set up their phones on a stand in either portrait or landscape mode. It also has a slot for credit cards, making this a versatile MagSafe accessory for any iPhone 12 user.

Apple Wallet

Apple has released its own wallet with MagSafe technology for use with the iPhone 12. This wallet has a sleek leather design that snaps right onto the back of your phone. It has three slots for credit cards and comes in a variety of colors that help make this accessory a unique addition to your iPhone 12.

Belkin MagSafe Car Vent Mount Pro

The next accessory on our list is the Belkin MagSafe Car Vent Mount Pro. This vent mount for iPhone 12 offers a quick magnetic connection that utilizes the technology to quickly and easily snap your phone into place. Whether using GPS or hand-free talking while in the car, the Belkin MagSafe Car Vent Mount Pro makes mounting your phone in place while in the car a breeze.

Moment car vent mount

The last device on our list is the Moment car vent mount. This vent mount is designed with a low-profile in mind so that your iPhone 12 doesn’t get in the way while you are in the car. The company also uses proprietary technology with its magnets, making this connection more secure than most industry standards.

The post 11 best MagSafe accessories for your Apple devices appeared first on KnowTechie.

Getting a brand-new iPhone 14 is an exciting and expensive purchase. Finding the best case for your iPhone 14 is necessary to keep your investment in pristine condition.

We have put together a list of the best iPhone 14 cases on the market designed to keep your iPhone looking fresh and new.

While looking at the best iPhone 14 cases, you will see MagSafe-compatible cases.

Introduced on the iPhone 12, MagSafe is made up of magnets that allow you to connect various accessories to your device.

These accessories include items such as chargers and stands. But not all MagSafe cases are the same. The best MagSafe cases have built-in magnets to ensure a great experience.

Some manufacturers claim its cases are MagSafe-compatible but don’t include magnets.

While these cases technically work because they are so thin, it usually results in a weak magnet connection and a poor experience.

The best wireless earbuds have a trifecta of qualities – audio quality, solid connectivity, and comfort.

Once those are satisfied, you can add other features, like active noise canceling, stylish exteriors, and charging cases for times you’re away from a charger.

And thanks to advances in Bluetooth protocols, you can get great sound out of wireless earbuds. Sure, there are other options, but nobody likes jogging in bulky over-ear headphones.

But with so many options out there, what are the best earbuds? Well, that’s where we come in, and we’ll give you plenty of options to sift through.

The best iPhone 14 cases

The best iPhone case is the one that provides your device with the most protection in the style that you want. All types of case designs tend to come in various colors.

Whether you are looking for an ultra-thin case, one built like a tank, or something in between, there is no shortage of cases on the market.

Here are our top picks for the best cases for the iPhone 14.

Apple Silicone Case with MagSafe

The Apple Silicone Case with MagSafe is a great thin-style case from Apple. It features a silicone exterior with a microfibre-lined interior to give your iPhone the protection it deserves.

In my opinion, it’s arguably the best iPhone 14 Pro case out there.

This case has built-in magnets within the case to securely hold your MagSafe accessories. It also comes in a variety of colors to suit your needs.

The smooth exterior can be slightly slippery initially but will become less slippery over time. The biggest issue with this case is that it can get dirty quickly.

The silicone does attract dirt and pet hair so it may need routine cleaning. It’s available for purchase from Apple or Amazon for $49.

With a clear back and colored edges, you can show off the beauty of your device. The backplate consists of hard plastic, and the sides consist of TPU.

The clear plastic back can scratch easily, and I’m not in love with the CASETiFY branding around the camera ring.

It is available exclusively from Amazon for $35.

Maybe if you like to take your phone running or don’t want the bulk in your bag or pocket, something from Torras, Totallee, or Spigen might do the trick.

If you want functionality, then a wallet case can protect your device and double as your wallet.

Do I need a case for my iPhone 14?

No matter how careful you are, the odds are you will drop your iPhone at some point. A case will likely be the differentiating factor if the device remains unscathed or a spider web of cracks.

Apple has done a remarkable job engineering the iPhone. But it still has glass on the front and back of the device and is susceptible to cracking.

These devices tend to hold their value incredibly well. When it comes time to upgrade your device, you may choose to sell your current one to lower the cost of the new one.

The best way to keep your resale value high is to protect it with a case. Keeping your device looking fresh and new.

Is a MagSafe case the best for my iPhone 14?

MagSafe cases may or may not be a necessity for you. You may not have any MagSafe accessories, but you may look into them in the future.

So getting a case today that includes MagSafe may be the future-proofing you are looking for. MagSafe is a critical component of many of the best accessories available for these devices.

You may not use the feature now, but you very well could in the future.

A case doesn’t need to be MagSafe Compatible to be a great case. If MagSafe does not interest you, then your options for a great case expand considerably.

The hallmark of a great case is how well it protects your device, not how well accessories attach to it.

Are iPhone 13 and 14 cases the same? Does an iPhone 13 case fit on an iPhone 14?

Sure, the iPhone 13 and 14 are basically the same size. They both have a 6.1-inch screen and are about 5.78 inches tall and 2.82 inches wide.

The difference in depth is only 0.01 inches, so you don’t need to buy a new case if you don’t want to.

Will the iPhone 13 Pro case fit iPhone 14 Pro?

However, the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro is another story.

The iPhone 13 Pro and 14 Pro are different enough that they can’t use the same case.

The 14 Pro has a bigger camera, and the buttons are in different places, so an iPhone 13 Pro case won’t fit. So if you’re getting the 14 Pro, you’ll need to get a new case

The best iPhone 14 case for you

Any of the cases in this list can be at the top of our best iPhone 14 cases list. The truth is that the best case is one that fits your specific needs.

Just because I prefer a slim case that I can easily slip into my pocket doesn’t mean your tank-like case isn’t just as good.

A case is also a great opportunity to add your personal touch to your device. The list here represents the best cases we have found and the ones we recommend.

The post The best iPhone 14 cases appeared first on KnowTechie.

Valve’s Steam Deck is one of the most innovative introductions to PC gaming in a long time.

Now that the handheld console is readily available to more people, companies are starting to release more accessories.

The Steam Deck itself is an all-in-one gaming PC right in the palm of your hands. That means you technically don’t need accessories to game on the Steam Deck.

But most gamers know good accessories can greatly improve your gaming experience.

The best Steam Deck accessories

From headsets to portable keyboards, you can pair tons of accessories with the Steam Deck. But which ones should you get? This post will answer that below.

So let’s see what kind of accessories are out there.

Anker 7-in-1 USB-C Hub

Kicking things off in our list of Steam Deck accessories, this Anker 7-in-1 Hub can take Steam Deck gaming to a different level.

Valve has its own docking option mentioned below that lets you connect your Steam Deck to a TV and game, similar to the Nintendo Switch.

But Valve’s dock is a bit more expensive than the Anker 7-in-1 hub. Anker’s option features an HDMI hookup to connect a monitor and pass-through charging via USB-C for just $34.99.

Official Steam Deck Docking Station

If you are looking for a way to easily connect the Steam Deck to a monitor or want a way to charge the handheld conveniently, the Steak Deck Docking Station is perfect.

For $89, you get two USB ports, an HDMI port, USB-C, and an ethernet port. Now that anyone can buy a Steam Deck, we highly recommend checking out this option from Valve if you want more functionality from your gaming handheld.

UGREEN 6-1 USB-C Steam Deck Dock

The UGREEN dock provides great display options for gamers. It can show 4K@60Hz, 2K@144Hz, and 1080P@240Hz, so it works with many types of monitors and gives smooth gameplay at different screen sizes and speeds.

This versatility allows Steam Deck owners to enjoy their favorite games on larger screens with stunning visuals.

Connectivity is key for any dedicated gamer, and the UGREEN dock delivers by providing two USB 3.0 ports, one USB-C port, and data transmission speeds up to 5Gbps.

Unitek Cooling Dock Pro

With so much tech packed into a small case, the Steam Deck can occasionally get pretty hot. Unitek has created its own solution with the Cooling Dock Pro.

The Unitek Cooling Dock Pro works like most other docking stations, with passthrough charging, HDMI output, and a LAN port for wired internet.

But where it stands apart is the included thermoelectric cooler. It uses a metallic contact plate and a cooler on the back to help keep your Steam Deck cooler during those intense gaming sessions.

The Unitek Cooling Dock Pro is available on the Unitek website for $119.

JSAUX upgraded docking station

The upgraded dock from JSAUX has HDMI 4K60 output, Gigabit ethernet, USB-C for charging, and three USB-A 3.0 ports.

Supporting 100W power delivery, it can charge at the full 45W that the Steam Deck supports. Oh, and it’s also compatible with iPads or Android phones with USB-C.

Omni Mobile 25,600mah power bank

You will definitely want a portable power bank to pair with your Steam Deck.

The battery on the Steam Deck will drain pretty quickly when playing some more demanding games. This 25,600mah power bank from Omnicharge should keep you going for a while.

READ MORE: Can Steam Deck play Minecraft?

This power bank provides a charging output of up to 60W via USB-C, which should your device pretty quickly.

And there are multiple ports, so you can charge multiple devices simultaneously. You can get this power bank from Omnicharge from Amazon for $149.99.

Anker 20,000mah power bank

You can also find a portable power bank for a little bit cheaper. This option from Anker offers a similar 20,000mah capacity battery at a much lower price.

But it is a bit slower than the previous option, outputting at a maximum of 20W. So you might have to wait a little longer to charge your Steam Deck up using this option.

Still, the 20,000mah capacity should give you a couple of full charges on your Steam Deck to keep playing beyond the initial battery life.

The Anker 20,000mah portable power bank is available on Amazon for $69.99.

iVoler Steam Deck screen protector 3-pack

By now, most of us know screen protectors are crucial to keeping our devices safe.

If you’re still on the fence about whether or not to add a screen protector to your Steam Deck, just do it. Unless you’re comfortable risking scratches or cracks in your $400 plus dollar investment.

iVoler has already developed screen protectors for the Steam Deck. And you can get a pack of three on Amazon for just under $12.

Do yourself a favor and protect your Steam Deck’s screen from scratches with a screen protector or three.

DLseego TPU protective shell case

Depending on how clumsy you are with your electronics, you might want to outfit your Steam Deck with a protective case.

The DLseego TPU protective case is a good affordable option. It offers a decent level of protection from scratches and light impacts.

The TPU material is what’s typically found in many smartphone cases and offers a flexible but durable design.

It also features a non-slip grip material on the handles of your Steam Deck for a little extra security.

The DLseego case is available on Amazon for just $16.99. Click the button below to check it out.

JSAUX standing case

The JSAUX standing case offers a similar TPU shell as the DLseego above. But JSAUX added a stand to this one in case you wanted to game hands-free on your Steam Deck.

This case offers an ergonomic grip with texturing on either side to help you grip your Steam Deck.

But what stands out the most (pun shamelessly intended) is the flip-out stand that lets the Steam Deck stand up by itself.

This case could make things much easier if you’re playing Steam Deck with a mouse and keyboard. Check out the JSAUX stand case on the JSAUX website.

Daydayup Steam Deck carrying case

The Daydayup carrying case is your one-stop shop to protect and haul around your Steam Deck in comfort.

It features a hard, protective outer shell to keep your Steam Deck safe from dings and drops.

Inside, the Steam Deck fits in a cushioned compartment with a mesh zipper pouch that can store all your cords, a power bank, earbuds, and other small accessories.

The Daydayup case is available on Amazon for $19.99.

Waterfield Cityslicker leather case

A premium case for your Steam Deck might be one of the ultimate accessories. Next up, we have the Cityslicker leather case from Waterfield.

The outside of the Cityslicker comprises full-grain leather, and the inside features a soft liner. The case offers stellar protection with its ballistic nylon lining.

The Cityslicker is available for preorder on the Waterfield website starting at $129.

JSAUX Carrying case (hard shell)

More options are never a bad thing, and if you are a fan of some of JSAUX other products on this list, the company’s Steam Deck carrying case is worth checking out.

This protective case for Steam Deck includes places for chargers, earbuds, and more. The best part, at $29, it won’t break the bank. It’s available on Amazon (link below) or directly from the company.

Apple AirPods Pro 2

Apple’s second-generation AirPods Pro are great earbuds to use with your Steam Deck.

They connect easily with Bluetooth and come with 30 hours of playtime, including the battery case.

They offer great sound with the H2 chipset. Plus, you get noise cancelation, so you don’t have to worry about interruptions when you’re in the middle of a game.

These are premium earbuds, however, so you’ll have to spend a little bit. The Apple AirPods Pro 2 retail for $249.

EarFun Air Pro 3 earbuds

If you’re looking for a more affordable pair of premium earbuds to connect to your Steam Deck, look no further than the EarFun Air Pro 3 earbuds.

The Air Pro 3s offer incredible sound and range with minimal distortion, even at higher volumes. Plus, you get environment and active noise cancelation for interruption-free gaming.

And it has Bluetooth 5.3 with a 55ms latency connection for little to no lag for your game sound.

The EarFun Air Pro 3 earbuds offer premium features at the more affordable price of $79.99.

Audeze Penrose wireless gaming headset

The Audeze Penrose wireless gaming headset is a great option to pair with your Steam Deck.

The Penrose features Bluetooth, so you don’t have to worry about buying any extra accessories to work with the Steam Deck.

The headset is lightweight and features a powerful battery that will keep you gaming for hours.

And its planar drivers offer incredible sound both in games and when listening to music. The Audeze Penrose is a great-sounding headset that would work well with the Steam Deck.

Check out our full review here if you’re not convinced. You can snag the Audeze Penrose from Amazon for $299.

SteelSeries Arctis 7+ wireless gaming headset

SteelSeries’ Arctis line of headsets remains one of the most comfortable headsets I’ve tried to date. However, one issue with the headset is that it lacks Bluetooth connectivity.

You’ll need to use the USB-C port on the Steam Deck or something like the Anker 7-in-1 Hub mentioned above to connect the headset.

If you decide to use your Steam Deck docked with a hub like that, then you definitely can’t go wrong with the SteelSeries Arctis 7+.

Check out our full review of the Arctis 7+ here. The SteelSeries Arctis 7+ is available at Amazon for $169.99.

EPOS H3 Hybrid wireless gaming headset

The H3 Hybrid offers great sound and comfort like the other headsets mentioned above.

But one cool thing about the H3 Hybrid is that it can connect to two devices simultaneously.

You can connect it wired via USB and wireless via Bluetooth simultaneously to listen to two devices at once.

That could be convenient, for instance, if you were talking on the phone and playing the Steam Deck at the same time.

The H3 Hybrid also features a detachable boom microphone, so you can turn it into a lower profile pair of headphones for when you’re out gaming on the go with your Steam Deck.

The EPOS H3 is available at Amazon for $179.

SteelSeries Aerox 3 Wireless

Steam deck has its own controls, but some games are just better with a mouse. And the Aerox 3 is the perfect mouse to pair up with a Steam Deck.

The Aerox 3 is an ultra-lightweight mouse that’s relatively small in size, so you can take it anywhere. And it connects via Bluetooth, so you don’t have to worry about extra accessories.

And to cap things off, the Aerox 3 has an incredible battery that can keep you going for weeks. I’m a big fan of the Aerox 3, and it seems like the perfect mouse to pair with your Steam Deck.

You can grab an Aerox 3 wireless in white or black for $99.99 at Amazon.

Logitech G305 Lightspeed Wireless

Next up, we have the Logitech G305 Lightspeed wireless mouse. Logitech consistently delivers quality gaming peripherals for computers and the G305 is no exception.

The G305 features six programmable buttons with onboard memory for settings. And the G305 also has an impressive battery rated for up to 250 hours of use on a single charge.

The only downside to the G305 for the Steam Deck is that it lacks Bluetooth connectivity.

You will need to connect the included dongle to hook this mouse up to your Steam Deck, which means you’ll need something like the Anker Hub mentioned above.

But the G305 is relatively affordable, at just $49.99 on Amazon.

Cooler Master SK622 Wireless

As is the case with gaming mice, so many games in the Steam library work much better with a keyboard.

But the Steam Deck is still designed for mobile gaming, so a mobile keyboard is what you need. And Cooler Master delivers with the SK622 wireless keyboard.

This particular keyboard is a 60% design. So, not only is it missing the number pad on the right side, but it also packs all necessary keyboard keys into one of the smallest form gaming keyboards you can find.

And it connects with Bluetooth. So you don’t have to worry about keeping up with a dongle or buying an extra gadget to make it compatible with your Steam Deck.

The SK622 from Cooler Master is available on Amazon for $115.

SteelSeries Apex 3 TKL keyboard

Another great mobile keyboard option is the Apex 3 TKL from SteelSeries.

This keyboard is a little bigger than the SK622 mentioned above, but it’s still a small, lightweight option compared to other gaming keyboards.

The Apex 3 TKL features IP32 waterproof protection, protecting it from water splashes and dust buildup.

That makes it a good option for gaming on the go in environments that aren’t necessarily controlled. However, there is one flaw with the Apex 3 TKL when pairing it up with a Steam Deck.

And you guessed it, no Bluetooth. The Apex 3 is a wired keyboard, so you’ll need something like the Anker Hub mentioned above to add USB ports to connect this keyboard.

The Apex 3 TKL is affordable, at just $44.99 on Amazon.

Xbox Core Wireless controller

While the Steam Deck does have its own onboard controller, you won’t always want to pick it up.

The smaller thumbsticks aren’t the easiest to use either, so you might prefer a dedicated controller.

You can’t beat using an Xbox controller for all those times you’re docked to play on a larger screen.

Many of the games in your library support one, it’s ergonomic and has superior quality thumbsticks, and it works either wired or by Bluetooth.

PlayStation 5 DualSense controller

If PlayStation controllers are more your speed, the PlayStation 5 DualSense controller is a great option. It’s the best accessory you can add when playing the Steam Deck docked.

Of course, you’re completely free of wires, so you’ll have ultimate freedom when playing. And the DualSense has tons of great features, like haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and much more.

Plus, the DualSense has a great Bluetooth connection, so hooking it up to your Steam Deck is a breeze.

The DualSense is a reliable and great-feeling controller. You can snag one today for $70.

AOpen 15.6″ portable monitor

Now, we’re going to check out a couple of monitors you can pair with the Steam Deck.

The AOpen 15.6″ portable monitor is a great option for portable gaming. This is a 15.6″ monitor with its own stand that you can set up anywhere.

And it has a USB-C port for display, so you won’t need anything extra to hook up your Steam Deck.

The AOpen monitor does require a power supply, so its portability is somewhat limited.

And if you connect it directly to your Steam Deck, you won’t be able to use the Steam Deck‘s USB-C port for charging. So you will be limited by the device’s battery unless you use additional hardware.

You can get this AOpen 15.6″ portable monitor on Amazon for $275.

LG Ultragear 27″

We talk a lot about the portability of the Steam Deck, as that is what it was mainly designed for.

But it’s still a full-functioning gaming PC. And pair it up with the LG Ultragear 27″ gaming monitor, and you’ve got a decent gaming setup.

READ MORE: The best equipment for your sim racing rig

The LG Ultragear 27″ is a 1080p 144hz monitor, which will take full advantage of the Steam Deck‘s capabilities.

Of course, the Ultragear 27″ only features HDMI connectivity for display, so you’ll have to snag the Anker Hub or another docking option.

This particular monitor costs $349.99 at Best Buy.

SCUF Exo posture cushion

The Steam Deck is pretty hefty, at 23.6 oz (669g). That’s a lot of strain on your wrists and back when playing handheld without support.

SCUF has you covered, with the Exo posture pillow.

We’ve been using these with controllers and our Nintendo Switch, so we know it’ll be fine with the added weight of the Steam Deck.

The Exo is inflatable (or maybe deflatable if you want to look at it that way), so you can throw it in your bag to use wherever you are gaming.

For $40, it’ll help save you from a lifetime of aching joints.

Lexar 64GB microSD

And the last things we want to cover aren’t necessarily accessories, but they’ll definitely improve your Steam Deck.

Depending on the size Steam Deck you went with, you may need extra storage sooner rather than later.

With this 64GB microSD from Lexar, you can store a few extra games over the initial capacity of your device.

And at only $10, you can even snag multiple of these cards to fill up with games and switch them in and out whenever you’d like.

Samsung EVO 512GB microSD

This 512GB option from Samsung will give you a little more room to play.

You can fit several additional games on your Steam Deck with half a terabyte of extra storage.

The more storage you have the better. Nobody wants to uninstall and reinstall games constantly because they don’t have enough storage.

The Samsung EVO 512 GB microSD costs $74.99 on Amazon.

SanDisk 1TB Extreme microSD

And finally, we’ve got the big one. This 1TB of storage offers twice as much storage as the Samsung option mentioned above. Even the largest Steam Deck only comes with 512GB of storage.

Adding this 1TB microSD from SanDisk will triple the number of games you can install on your device.

That should keep you going for a long time. Although some of today’s games are absolutely massive, so you still might fill that up quickly.

This 1TB microSD from SanDisk will run you $174.99 on Amazon.

Ugreen Nexode 140W USB-C GaN Charger

It’s no secret the Steam Deck commands a lot of power. And if you’re playing it mobile, you’re eventually going to need to recharge it. This is where the Nexode 140W USB-C GaN charger comes in.

Instead of waiting for your regular charger to juice up the Steam Deck, this charger can get it done in half the time.

The charger uses GaN technology, which generates a high-efficiency charge with less heat. This new technology is gaining popularity as it can deliver more power to devices than traditional chargers.

What would normally take your Steam Deck an hour to charge, this Nexode 140W can get it done in just 30 minutes or less.

Read our review here: Ugreen Nexode 140W USB-C GaN Charger Review

GuliKit (no drift) Type A Electromagnetic Joystick Module

Stick drift is a big issue, especially on smaller joysticks like those on the Steam Deck. These replacement joysticks fix drift once and for all because they use the hall effect for sensing.

Because they use magnets, they won’t wear like normal joystick modules. These units are only for Steam Decks using Type A sticks, so head to Settings, System, Steam Deck Controller ID, and make sure it starts with MEDA before you purchase.

You’ll also need a soldering iron to install them. We recommend finding a professional to swap if you’re not comfortable, as your Steam Deck wasn’t cheap.

Apple AirTag

This might not be an exciting accessory but it could prove to be a very necessary one. The Steam Deck is portable, and the last thing you want is to lose it somewhere.

So why not throw an AirTag in the case to help you keep track? Or go even further and slip the AirTag inside the Steam Deck itself.

And no, we’re not joking. One Redditor discovered there’s enough room to slip an AirTag inside the Steam Deck, thanks to Valve’s willingness for self-repair.

Just be sure not to interfere with any circuits inside the device, and you should be good to go. You can even use a little electrical tape as a safety measure.

Steam Deck-specific accessories continue to release

And that does it for some of the best accessories you can add to your Steam Deck.

Of course, there are tons of mice, keyboards, and other peripherals that you could pair with the Steam Deck to enhance your gaming experience. These are just some of our favorites.

We’ll update this article with any additional accessories we see. It’s definitely an exciting time for PC gaming, as the Steam Deck gets into the hands of more and more gamers.

If you are in the market for ANC headphones, we’ll show you some of the best noise-canceling headphones available below.

ANC technology has been around for ages, but recent improvements have made it better and cheaper than ever.

EPOS H3Pro Hybrid headset

Another option for gamers that we loved is the EPOS H3Pro Hybrid headset. EPOS is a brand known for premium sound, and the H3Pro Hybrid is no different.

It features a detachable magnetic microphone to quickly go from a gaming headset to a sleek pair of headphones. And its active noise canceling helps you immerse in whatever you’re listening to.

The H3Pro Hybrid has dual connection capabilities with a dedicated 2.4 GHz dongle and Bluetooth connection.

That lets you listen to two different sources at the same time, making this an incredibly versatile headset. Check out our full review for more information.

Bose QuietComfort 45 Wireless Headphones
