The official dock is legit 👌
Yeah I want to more fully endorse 3rd party docks but I can't because they can't really compete with the compatibility of the Valve dock.
@@FanTheDeck I do rest easier knowing it can receive firmware updates 👌
the little robot chargers are cute
Right!?
Linus must’ve seen this video because an ad for them are in their latest video
The moondrop arias slap super hard, I forgot I had them on a wishlist and my wife bought them for me last year and I love them. I played through all of signalis using them and it really set the tone for the game
Really happy to see the Sharge enclosure working well, since I backed it on kickstarter. Can’t wait to get it.
I don't even have a steam deck but i love this channel
I don't know how to express how much a comment like this makes my day. Thank you for brightening my day!
One other really cool thing about that sharkgeek power bank is you can program how much power it outputs even.A Super handy feature
Also the whole burning thing for headphones is a legit thing, I don't think it as pronounced as people say, but definitely a thing. The speakers are made of a fabric, so as you use them and they get subjected to vibration. The physical range of the fabrics vibration will increase
Hey, this came out right as I got my Steam Deck!
Now imagine my happiness if we got software equivalent of this...
I love my Tomtoc bag. And I too put it in "backwards." It feels better and makes more sense to me.
I got a knockoff version of the TomToc bag for like $17, its awesome, basically an exact copy.
I actually think TomTom products are pretty good. I have controller cases from them for everything !
That's impressive! Especially if it really is an exact copy.
could you link the knockoff version? I might consider buying ngl
I've seen commenters unable to post links before and I can't seem to fix that. But TS - if you email me a link (check my About page on your Desktop), I'll share the link here (but I'll make it clear that I'm not endorsing because I haven't tried it)
➡TomToc Knockoff Provided By TS ⬅
WARNING: I have not tested these and I am a big fan of TomToc products specifically because they are high quality and even provide a warranty on their products. Still these absolutely seem like they're worth sharing.

The official dock is also not that expensive when accounting for the charger that is included. But it is of course possible you didnt need another charger thereby rather save the money.
The likes of Jsaux also give a charger. I pre ordered the M.2 Dock and originally it didn't have a included. Like 6 months later one randomly showed up as the changed to now supply a charger in the box
Grabbed the deck buttons after you mentioned them. Got the purple ones. They rule! Well worth it. Thanks for sharing these recommendations
Appreciate you for throwing me in this one!
You're welcome!
I still haven't bought that many accessories for my deck.
But I should probably get a hold of some new headphones soon.
I got the JSAux rgb dock! While it does seem to heat up during use I must say I love it, the design is great: Not too boring nor too tryhard, transfer speeds are great, it has a lot of ports to connect to different devices, the ethernet connection is pretty good, the RGB lighting is insanely pretty, it's got a pair of stickers to further customize it and it's a lot cheaper than many other docks
I would say it's definitely a steal for that retail price
@@euphoric-cat Haven't tried since mine hasn't arrived yet, I do have a dongle for my Soundcore VR earbuds I could test it on docked mode and tell you the results if you want, dunno if that would be the same as a controller dongle tho
All of those are awesome!!
I really like Project Killswitch, with the hard case. If i go somewhere with public transport i don't need a lot of accessories, i just don't want my Deck to take up my entire backpack. If i think i need to recharge it i have a pack with charger, power bank, cables etc for all my tech that i can put in my backpack as well.
Nice 🎉
I was watching the video and when you got the the tool kit, I went "I have that" Its a good kit. I have used it for all kinds of stuff that isn't Steam Deck or Switch stuff as well.
Using the NReal glasses. Digging them .... but I'm single. So I have no one to tell me how goofy I look. Lol
🤣 Yeah I think these sort of glasses are gonna be great for a lot of people. The Viture ones are high quality and I've heard good things about the NReal/XReals too
@FanTheDeck They are good, but the ecosystem for the AR (as advertised) is not there. My use cases are the Steam Deck Samsung Dex. So pretty much XR style glasses, with 1080p, side by side 3d mode, and a 120hz option. Downfalls 46° FOV (sucks for the 3d but everything else looks fine) and it's wired but honestly casting a game to any display has too much lag. In short its a good pair of glasses if you know what you are buying. I'm happy
I wished there was a controller that was akin to the steam deck mostly because I find the trackpad so useful as a secondary general camera and for its touch menu. I personally would not mind not having a right stick if weren’t for emulation, and 3D platformers that don’t handle mixed inputs existing.
Valve is working on a new Steam Controller, will prolly ship with their VR home console
@@niclasneziru1854 source?
@@AbdullahKhan-el6xw it came to him in a dream.
That power bank looks like a bomb... we sure we wanna take that to a airport?
Shotpad looks really interesting
Moondrop Quarks also have a USB-C DSP-corrected version. Also nice on the deck to use the onboard-mic while you have headpones plugged in.
On Steamdeck OS < 3.5 they would drop out after an hour or so, and then enable / disable at random. No issues with 3.5 so far.
Anyway, for anyone not into really audiophile stuff: Truthear Zero's or Zero Red's. There are also a lot of interesting stuff in the < $20 era, but you must get into 'detail resolving' and that kind of stuff once you go past the Zero's. And they are like $50. And don't need a cable replacement 😉
Thanks for having us on! There are so many ways to upgrade the Steam Deck (we're partial to a bigger, better screen of course) - great video!
I use Soundcore VR P10 earbuds for my deck and they are awesome. They are made for VR gaming and connect with a USB C dongle so you don't have the terrible Bluetooth lag.
I got just the bought the sharge disk after watching this 😂 like an hour after see this ty !!!
Thanks sir!
There's now a wireless version of that controller! You should check it out!
The only thing I don’t like about the SSD case is how loud the fan is. You can hear it in the video.
I've never heard of hard drives needing to be cooled befor recently.
Interested in hearing if the JSAUX full shell replacements are compatible with Steam Deck OLED.
For lag free wireless sound for music games I use a Creative BT-W3 usb-c dongle. Paired with a pair of aptx supported BT headphones, audio lag is almost nonexistent. A pair of Soundcore VR P10 work great too.
Using an adapter is a good way to reduce the lag
Tin hifi make some awesome wired IEM's I've had my T3's for ages and they're awesome and they're only like £50-ish
I liked the power bank, then I saw the price... $200.
Same
IEM earbuds are unreal. I have a couple sets from different brands(linsoul) and its unreal the sound you are getting for the dirt cheap price of so many of them.
I play GTA V on the deck. In the most recent update, they made it hard to leave your character watching the DJ to make money. The game times out. However, there's a way around this. Buy a mouse jiggler. There's many to pick from, the one I bought was from Auedrot. I have a JSAUX doc, and it only has 2 USB ports. I plug in my mouse, keyboard, and monitor. However, I wanted to plug in my controller so it doesn't go to sleep, and the mouse jiggler. I bought an Atolla powered USB hub. This may be why your controller doesn't work when plugged into your doc. Because you need the port to be powered. My purple 8bitdo works plugged into the 7 port USB hub, which is 4 amps with a special charging port.
I have never ordered something as fast as the sharge disk.
Audio burn-in is a myth*.
Also, I have the Aria and other Moondrop IEMs. The Aria is a very good, warm and relaxing sound signature. I don't have the Quarks, but I have the Chu (a newer cheap entry from Moondrop). The Chu is considerably brighter than the Aria, so I find it more fatiguing.
Nowadays though, I'd recommend something like the Tin HiFi C2 or the Truthear Red at around these price points (a bit less, actually).
* there have been some VERY SPECIFIC situations where burn-in might have SLIGHTLY changed the frequency response of transducers in measurements. But that's pretty much anecdotal evidence, and tests indicate that in the vast majority of cases burn-in makes absolutely no measurable difference.
Do not trust reviewers who advocate audio burn-in. Some reliable reviewers are: crinacle, Super* Review, dms, Gizaudio, Bad Guy Good Audio Reviews...
Very helpful advice! Thank you!! I do like the Arias quite a bit but the sound didn't feel like a huge improvement to the Quarks which I think says more about the Quarks. I am very curious to try to the other ones you mentioned. I'll give them a shot!
@@firstnameIastname the context in which I read about this has been specifically about headphones, IEMs and bookshelf speakers. And also DACs and solid-state amps. Transducers include dynamic drivers, balanced armatures or electrostatic drivers. I've never* seen evidence of different measurements before and after burn-in, in fact some of the most trustworthy reviewers such as crinacle (who holds the world's largest IEM measurement database) advocate against burn-in.
Do you have any measurement evidence of Yamaha HS5 speakers changing after burn-in? Or perhaps your auditory system got used to it? Human audio memory is extremely weak, and even things such as volume inbalance can lead to different perceptions regarding sound quality. Heck, some days I think my Blessing 2 sounds fine, some days I think it's a bit shouty at 8KHz.
* Super* Review did mention in a live video, and I unfortunately won't remember which one, that one of his IEMs measured different after some time. But that only happened once with that specific unit, so that's hardly any evidence for burn-in. Might have been a faulty unit. I can ask Mark which IEM it was, if anyone really wants to know.
Regarding car subwoofers, I'm too ignorant on the topic to provide any useful input.
I never thought Boomer Shooters made good viewing, for streaming, but somehow It was more enjoyable to watch your hands fiddling with the trackpad boi, but that's up there with beating Elden Ring on a RE4 Chainsaw
The Steam Controller does actually have Bluetooth (BLE) mode! You can use that mode to connect to any bluetooth pc/phone, too.
Valve did unlock that functionality a few years after Steam Controller release, so it makes sense that a lot of people didnt see that update.
buttons and shell reviews cant wait to get some legit options.
The only things you need are a 65w battery bank, Hiearcool USB-C to HDMI/2 USB 3.0, and a 65W charger with USB-C cable (can be used to charge deck by itself or on the Hiearcool to keep your deck running while you have it hooked up to gaming monitor). Oh, and obviously a solid bluetooth controller like Xbox.
nice video
eBay has tons of valve dongles…cheap
Edit: in fact, I also just picked up the steam controller case I never knew existed. Even has a spot for the dongle lol
I have the n real ar glasses and they turn off randomly. It appears the via USB power save mode from the operating system. anyone know how to fix this?
Willing to bet HTLL recommended the Aria earbuds. Seems like his vibe. XD
I have that same RII mini keyboard. Had it for 5 plus years. It is the GOAT of all mini keyboards.
10/10 would not take that Sharkgeek power bank on a plane. That thing looks like C4
One of the original JSAux docs (without much special stuff) also have issues with the 8bitdo-ultimate controller...
I want those holographic buttons but they were sold out last time I checked lol
Wait, that little keyboard wakes up the Deck? That's a game changer for docked mode. I don't use my dock as much cuz I'm too lazy to get up and turn it on...
How easy are the button replacements?
Here is the installation guide: deckbuttons.com/blogs/install-guides/steam-deck-buttons-install-guide
As someone who has built my own computer but never done mods on a handheld, I would categorize it as relatively Easy. The most important part is making sure you reconnected everything properly because you do have to disconnect cables for haptics, and controls.
Here's my current mod tier list:
VERY EASY
- Back Cover
EASY
- SSD
- Analog Sticks
- Buttons
- Triggers/Bumpers
HARD
- Deck HD
- Full Shell
Deck buttons website loads for me then goes blank white after a second or two, same issue on my phone, weird...
Editing to say it works with the link in your description but no when I google them???
super weird...
No uk shipping option lol... neat.
Ha i have had that same repair kit for about 6 months or maybe longer lol. I like it. I keep it i ln my backpack at all times lol.
How much did you purchase the sharge disk?
I just experienced my biggest case of buyer's regret when I got my Viture XR in the mail and realized it has no way to adjust IPD. It's such a basic necessity on devices like this that I didn't even bother to check 🤦♂️
I use the Hazard4 Bandoleer bag for my Steam Deck. Its a sling style pack with a hard shell, and carries all the SD accessories I need (Besides, like, a monitor.) I highly recommend it for Steam Deck users.
The link and name for the Shargeek powerbank is wrong. Good video.
Thank you! Just fixed it
Yo, thanks for the video!
I actually need an enclosure for my old steam deck drive. How loud is the fan on the Sharge disk, it sounds pretty loud and whiny on the video, is it actually that bad? can you decrease the fan speed?
Yeah I wanted to share the audio of the SHARGE Disk because it is pretty noisy. It's louder than the Steam Deck itself running an intensive game. It's possible that passive cooling (e.g. with thermal pads) would have been enough to keep an m.2 nice and cool but I'm not sure.
@@FanTheDeck that was actually super informative, so thanks a lot!
And the noise is kind of a deal breaker for me ...
Which enclosure did you have issues with in the past? (you mentioned something about a drive dying in a poorly cooled enclosure)
My steam controller’s dongle Olson doesn’t work but you can just connect it via Bluetooth with the steam deck
that sharge disk seems great... i feel like i could setup a batocera on it and bring it around with me and flex on friends. the moondrops are easy pass. for under 20 bucks they work, but they are garbage imo. my bluetooth Jlab's have a way better sound then anything moondrop has out, they just seem to quiet and its not easy to EQ them on my phone. that mini keyboard i have as well, used it for a pi build and its so great for anything. even good for trolling a friend, plug the dongle into the back of his pc and watch him rage when you control his pc. im lucky i dont have stick drift but in the steam settings it shows it could be an issue down the line.
Sharkgeek Storm2 Power Bank link directs to Sharge Disk in your description.
Thank you! Just fixed it
Try the gulikit Kong controller
The Shargeek is great, but does not work with the ROG Ally. Kind of disappointing considering it worked w/o issue with my SD.
Do you mean the m2 drive enclosure or the power bank? If you mean, the m2 drive enclosure - are you sure it's not the format of the drive (e.g. if you formatted it for Deck, it won't be recognized in Windows).
The Steam controller firmware can be upgraded and the controller works over standard Bluetooth without the need for the dongle
Yeah absolutely - but you can't wake the Steam Deck without the dongle
@@FanTheDeck A man of my own heart. Those 6 steps to the TV often seem too far away!
@@garyoneil9791🤣🤣 😅
I'll trade ya my new in the box steam controller for those glasses 🤣
I would highly recommend staying away from the moondrop arias. They have a design flaw where the drivers are prone to break, I've had 2 replacement drivers and they've both failed, and it seemed like a common issue in the comment section where I commented about this before. Moat reviewers try them for like a few hours and notice that they do sound and feel very good but don't actually use it for multiple hundreds of hours like a normal person would if this was their daily driver
Sad that the purple Nexode is only at 30W and doesnt work on Steam Deck. I like the design.
Right!? I'll let them know they need to make a 65W version of the Purple one
Burn in on headphones, speakers, drivers of any kind is a myth. Makes sure you are out of your 30 day warrenty. If you don't like new HPs instantly. Please just send them back. They do not get better.
From what Ive heard subwoofers are the only audio device that have been tested to correlate having a better sound after burn in but thats usually because Subwoofer drivers have such stiff reinforcement as they travel that they gotta break in like new sneakers to get higher amplitude and improved sound pressure levels
I just wish for buttons that have colored ABXY, liike xBox controller or Steam controller, just the letters in the correct color sceme :(
I just want to swap my shoulder buttons and dpad. But all i can find are replacements not upgrades.
Getting a steam deck turned me from a guy who grew up with only consoles into a wannabe pc guy
Totally checking out Deck Buttons now! 👍
But, fight me ... 11:30 ... those things are the most useless product you can get for your Deck. The sticks won't magically break when carrying the Deck in a proper Deck case or a padded generic case or bag. Plus: you don't need to buy them, you can simply print them for a few cents if you have a 3D printer. 🤣
the powerbank link is redirect me to SHARGE Disk.
Weird. I fixed it so it _should_ be working. Sorry about that. Here's the link: amzn.to/3EPdb0L
In my oppion, at least 2/3 of these accessories are made in China. So guys you should understand, the center of the electronic-geek world is no longer in Japan or US, it's now in China, or more specificly, in Shenzhen. Welcome to enjoy ur geek hobby here.
I must say I love JSaux and their amazing customer service. I don't think I ever saw a company that respects clients that good. And no, I am not a bot (that is what a bot would say I know lol). I bought recently the RGB hub which is awesome (I have connect a wireless keyboard to it, a 4K TV, a mouse and a pendrive) but the short cable was not working so instead they just gave me a gift code (they offered a refund for the cable but I asked for a gift card), so I bought a much needed 3m power supply so I can game in bed an charge at the same time :) Also the RGB backplate with the new vent (and new pre-cut thermal paste for better airflow) is amazing. Playing Doom Eternal at 60 FPS dropped from 75ºC to 55-63ºC, and the fan dropped from the usual 5000-6000 to 4000...I couldn't believe my eyes.
Rip. Wanted to buy nexode but they made it with us plug only.
Jay-saw, not Jay-sox.
If you’re looking for a plug and play retro gaming SD card, I do a pretty nice build for Umbrella Arcades.
I think all the things I bought on launch were better. Nreal glasses, trifold keyboardmouse, old jaux dock, form fit hard case, nentendo branded PSU from switch, 8bit do, and a super light portable mouse with wifi and bluetooth, bose earbuds. -I wanted a win laptop /FPS setup/ media setup. All that fits in a hardcase that's about twice the size of the switch - other then the glasses. Hope that helps someone if they want to spend money on all the things - confirmed working. lol
Burn in is a myth. Fite me
It's your brain and hearing perception getting used to the sound.
Notification gang
You're a real one!! ♥
Let's go!
I use AirPods Max with my Steam Deck and for me nothing comes close.
AirPods Max are my favorite headphones I’ve ever owned, but usually when gaming people prefer a tethered or 2.4ghz connection to reduce latency.
Lately I’ve been using Astro A30 on my ROG Ally. Of course I use the AirPods Max on my IPhone and Mac lol
have to say, all of them are useless (can only speak for me), except the powerbanks or a small usb-c hub with pd when on the go otherwise i only use a normal dock + a ps5 controller when home (or mouse+keyboard)
So is the Bluetooth wireless capability of a device something you Do or do NOT look for in peripherals? Someone needs to slap your writer and or editor because it just feels like you're just pilling up electronic stuff to the camera on to your viewers without any thought but to have them.
Burn-in period is not a real thing
You sir have expensive taste.
SPIN RHYTHM FANS UNITE
Why no cheaper alternatives I watched 2 recommendations and felt like this is going to be one long add of the expencive stuff. The smiley face charger plenty of working cheap ones just as small. The enclosure well bought an smaller I think alie express one last year that powered a rip server for 384 days no getting hot or turning off (had to turn of for water company guy since I had to move fridge it was on to get to meter) was like under 20euro. The charger omg yeah pay double to look trough the case ...sorry but click bait add like this is an unsub and thumbs down
