I just bought the 64Gb model and a 2Tb drive (will be about a week to get delivered).

What are some essential accessories to pair with the steam deck?

A folding bluetooth keyboard-trackpad combo has been a lifesaver for me! Any time I need to work on something in desktop mode it's saved a lot of time and frustration.

I usually just use the built in track pad and the digital keyboard (or whatever you call it) but sometimes is it easier to just type with a normal keyboard if I have to change a lot of config files (I use a USB hub and keyboard then). But I only mod my games in desktop mode so maybe that is why I don't see the need of a true dedicated keyboard and mouse set up?

What kind of work do you do on the deck?
