7 Steam Deck accessory deals that also work for ROG Ally

WD_BLACK SN770M NVMe 1TB SSD: was $129.99 now $109.99 at Best Buy ($20 off)

Western Digital is a well-known storage device company with an excellent reputation. So it was very exciting when the company released its line of SN770M NVMe SSDs intended for gaming handhelds. These come in three sizes — 500GB, 1TB, or 2TB — and they're all currently on sale. These SSDs are specifically marketed as storage devices for Steam Deck and ROG Ally. 

The installation process is relatively simple and it's a great way to add more storage to ROG Ally while getting around the handheld's microSD overheating issue.

JSAUX Docking Station: was $49.99 now $33.99 at JSAUX ($16 off)

One of the best things about Steam Deck and ROG Ally is that they can be connected to a docking station so you can play games on a TV or gaming monitor. This is how I played the majority of my first Baldur's Gate 3 playthrough. The JSAUX Docking Station works well with either device and provides a USB-C port, an ethernet port, an HDMI 2.0 port, and three USB-A 3.0 ports for your various connection needs.

✅Perfect for: Anyone who wants to play PC games from their handheld on a TV or gaming monitor. 

❌Avoid it if: You only want to play in handheld mode or want a dock with more ports. JSAUX has more options to choose from, but this one is more affordable.

Wireless Xbox Series X|S Controller: was $69.99  now $52.82 at Walmart ($7.17 off)

If you do want to play your Steam Deck or ROG Ally on a TV or gaming monitor then you want to have a controller handy. Many people think that Xbox Wireless controllers are the best gamepads out there.

What's more, Xbox controllers certainly are pretty and come in a variety of colors at different prices — but right now many of them are on sale.  

✅Perfect for: People who prefer to play with controllers and have a docking station for their handheld.

Tomtoc Arccos-G47 Carrying Case: was $52.99  now $34.99 at Tomtoc ($18 off)
Tomtoc initially released this convenient shoulder strap carrying case for the Steam Deck but later updated the listing to explain that it worked for ROG Ally as well. I've personally tested this out and can verify that both devices fit well in this bag. It also provides plenty of space and zippered pockets for toting around charging cables or other accessories. It's honestly a really great option for either handheld. 

✅Perfect for: Toting around Steam Deck or ROG Ally along with various accessories.

❌Avoid it if: You want a carrying case with a hard shell.

💰Price check: $39.49 at Amazon

ASUS ROG 65W Charger Dock: $64.99 at Best Buy

As you can see by the name, ASUS ROG specifically released this compact charger dock for its own handheld, but it also works with Steam Deck. It's very easy to travel with thanks to its small size, but it still provides a way to both charge a connected gaming handheld and connect it to a TV or monitor. This charger dock isn't actually on sale, but it is a very good accessory so I didn't want to leave it out. 

✅Perfect for: People who like to travel with their gaming handheld and want to use it on a TV or monitor. 

❌Avoid it if: You're only interested in playing in handheld mode.

👀 Alternative deal: $64.99 at ASUS ROG

Anker PowerCore with Wall Charger: was $149.99  now $99.99 at Amazon ($40 off)

It's a frustrating thing when gaming handhelds run out of battery life prematurely, but unfortunatey that's the nature of these devices. That's why it helps to have a power bank handy if you plan on using your Steam Deck or ROG Ally on the go. Above all of them, this is the one you want because it has a larger capacity, supplies enough of a power flow to meet the ROG Ally's needs when played in Turbo mode and it comes with a convenient carrying bag as well as a wall charger. 

✅Perfect for: Anyone who foresees needing to recharge their Steam Deck or ROG Ally when away from an outlet. 

❌Avoid it if: You want a fancier battery pack with a display on it.

HyperX Cloud III Wireless: was $169.99  now $101.99 at Amazon ($68 off)

I've been using this gaming headset ever since it came out and I absolutely love it. Battery life lasts a whopping 120 hours and the cushioning makes it very comfortable to wear for long gaming sessions. The microphone carries my voice clearly while the speakers in the earphones provide very good sound quality. It's very well-priced for the experience it provides. 

✅Perfect for: Anyone who wants a great value headset that provides good audio and mic quality without costing too much. 

❌Avoid it if: You want a cheaper option or specifically want an expensive Hi-Res Audio headset.
