What premium gift would you get for a Steam Deck lover who’s already well-equipped?

I have the Deckmate stuff by Mechanism, and I really like it - it’s basically a little bracket that attaches to the back that you can then attach accessories to, like a kickstand or gaming pillow. The gaming pillow is pretty neat - it was kind of a luxury purchase, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised

Steam Controller review slips embargo, controller to cost $99

100% accurate. PlayStation was the FGC standard for generations and, at a professional level, specific hardware matters less than the thousands of hours you've clocked building muscle memory with this exact hardware. Professional gamers also replace controllers like runners replace shoes (go look at

The Steam Controller sold out in 30 minutes, utterly breaking Steam in the process

Only controllers recognized as PlayStation controllers can use both gyro and analog triggers in Steam Input. The 8Bit Do does not support that afaik. The only controllers that can compete with the Steam Controller if you care about gyro and analog triggers are the DualSense (and siblings) and the St
