Hardware SteamDeck Hardware guide

[K3Nv2]

I thought it would be nice to write a full list for newbies for SteamDeck users on what parts they need in order to upgrade or make any changes to their SteamDeck accessories wise - This will be updated regularly for future new products that come out for the SteamDeck.

To put it in terms I'm hoping to turn this thread into a mega shopping site of information for storage, docks, power supply replacements all the works. As tons of information for the SteamDeck is already in existence it shouldn't be that hard to compile a list. This way you won't have to dig through the internet searching for items.

I do apologize if this looks a bit sloppy I'm typing on my phone so I'll try to make it work out.

Prices do vary and I do ask users to share useful links so that I can update this with them.

I am planning to upgrade one of my Steam Decks from 64GB to 512GB using this guide here:


I may report later how it went.
I am too lazy, but perhaps it would be nice to have a guide here in the temps about how to do it (seems very simple TBH).
I am too lazy, perhaps there is even a guide already here, I didn't even look for it.

I am also going to get one of these shady OEM Sk Hynix SSDs for this, but it would be nice if somebody, somehow, finds a provider that sells them new and in package instead of something that looks like ripped off from Dell equipment. But oh well, that's what is available.

YouTube can easily tell you about this I'd like to make clear this isn't a software help guide but a guide on actual 3rd party hardware devices for SteamDeck.
