Excited to have bought the steam deck during the sale! I was planning on grabbing a dock and micro sd card and I noticed there were a bunch of accessories and customizations people could do with this thing. Was wondering if there were anything the community loved in particular?

Another software customisation - If you'd like to play Minecraft I'd recommend Prism Launcher plus a mod called Controllable. Whilst you can use Steam Input to set the controls manually, Controllable adds native gamepad controls to the game which work better and include some QoL features. I'd also recommend following this guide, specifically the bit about setting an instance to launch automatically, which skips the launcher screen. Not only is that more convenient, it actually fixed an issue I was having where the mod saw two 'steam inputs' and you had to change it to the second one each time - It was getting confused by the two windows which steam had given their own gamepad layouts. With only one window popping up now, it works on launch each time.
