Comment on Necessary accessories?

Most people have already addressed the fact that you’ll need more SSD space and that other accessories aren’t strictly required; but here’s what I got:
-
Laptop 65W USB-C PD chargers off eBay (cost £18 each instead of £30 for a USB PD charger +£10 for a cable). Have a look at PD power banks as well if that’s something of use to you.
-
A hoodie with a big pocket on the front. Perfect for carrying around the Deck in the pocket.
-
This 90° elbow connector from Ali Express to play while plugged in.
-
8bitDo makes for a perfect controller to use with the Deck (whichever flavour you like).
-
Whichever wired/wireless earphones you like
-
Any universal USB-C hub you like. People tend to be fixated on a dock. I personally don’t see any reason for a Deck to be propped upright. A flat universal hub can be packed in a bag easier and used with your laptop too.
-
Back button enhancers to come back in stock and I plan to buy those.
-
I haven’t needed to open up my Deck since I got the 512 version, but if I ever do open it I’ll put in hall effect joysticks.
-
I already had an air mouse/keyboard lying around which I use to do quick tasks in desktop mode without having to connect it to my computer monitor. The Unified Remote Android app works well for this as well.
-
a lot of people have put skins and cases on theirs but I haven’t. See if that’s something you would like.
-
You could get a screen protector as well. I didn’t since I got the 512 GB version.
