On topic: looks like a nice selection. Any idea for a bag to hold 4 Xbox controllers in a way they don't bang against each other and are protected from dust via a zipper on each compartment or so?
Instead of that get 4 8bit do lite 2 controllers.
And what would be the bag for that? As my point is about not banging against each other and no dust getting into the mechanical parts, just recommending another controller is really besides the point.
I cram 2 in the pocket of this

But yeah if you're not worried about space then nvm. Just put the controllers in ziplocks or something.
I don't really have any cool accessories for my deck, but really appreciate you posting yours. I dig that charger and kickstand, I'll probably pick up one of each. Thanks for taking the time to write this up!
I just keep the charger in the bag that came with it and keep that in the spot behind the elastic on the back of the hard case mine came with. I'm usually not using it long enough for it to die if I'm not near somewhere I can plug it in.
I’ve been thinking about grabbing a Steam Deck, hence why I’m in this community. This shows me what it would be like to travel with one, so thanks for the write up!
This post made me realize I’ve never taken my SD out of the house. 😂
Also, welcome to Lemmy, great first post! 👍😎
I also just toss it in a backpack with the usual case, but jsaux makes a nice looking bag for it:

I like that they list if the UK plug fits now, it was a guessing game with some of the cases
Do you have any first hand experience with that bag?
I normally toss the steam deck into its case, then put that and all the peripherals into a backpack. But that jsaux bag looks pretty awesome...
I carry a backpack with the steam deck in its regular case. In my backpack I carry a 70% keyboard, a mouse, and a dock/hub thing to connect to a monitor/tv. I keep a Lenovo charger because the cord is very long. I guess I also keep an Xbox one controller. Everything is just tossed into the bag.
I did order a case on deep discount that could function to store more things should I not bring a backpack, but as if yet that hasn't happened.
I do the same thing minus the controller!
Is is awesome! Add a portable monitor with internal battery and you have yourself quite the portable setup! :)
