Top 5 Steam Deck Accessories in 2025: Best Cases, Docks & Cooling Upgrades

If you’re still rocking a Steam Deck in 2025 (OLED or otherwise!) there's a bunch of accessories that you should consider to level up your gaming experience. Whether you’re in the market for protection, cooling solutions, desktop functionality, or just pure style points, these are the five must-have accessories that I'd trust with my own Steam Deck. Let’s jump right into it.

JSAUX ModCase for Steam Deck

The JSAUX Modcase is more than just a shell- It’s a modular protection system that wraps your Steam Deck in a tough silicone and PC-ABS combination, providing the ultimate scratch and shock protection for your device, and also comes with a built in metal kick stand offering durability and flexibility in one neat little package. Since the Modcase is modular, you can even attach cooling fans and other additional accessories which makes it super handy. While the Modcase may be a rather tight fit regarding docking and might require you to either find a different docking station or take off the modcase, regardless it’s overall strengths towards protection and flexibility make it a strong contender.

JSAUX RGB Transparent Back Plate

With the JSAUX Transparent backplate that comes with an alternative that features RGB vents, you get the ultimate in style points allowing you to flex your accessories and style a little to other people. It provides your Steam Deck with a styled aesthetic while also keeping thermal performance in mind. The backplate comes with a heatsink, thermal paste and ventilation holes, all that come together to provide enhanced heat dissipation (and alongside the RGB lighting, it does so in style!). The clear design shows off the internals of your device, if that’s your vibe. It’s compatible with both the LCD and OLED Steam Deck models and also integrates well within the JSAUX accessory ecosystem, and quite frankly we’re a little biased towards the kaleidoscopic RGB vented version.

JSAUX RGB Docking Station

Let’s talk about docking stations. The JSAUX RGB Docking station is the Rolls Royce of accessories. A stylish yet functional accessory that comes with multiple interfaces including an SD/TF card slot, a 3.5mm headphone jack, a USB-A port, HDMI support (4k@120Hz), and even a RJ45 Ethernet port (1000Mbps).  It’s praised by many users as “one of the most convenient docks” for someone who is looking for a little form, a little function for their setup, especially given that it can support ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode), VRR (Variable Refresh Rate), QFT (Quick Frame Transfer) and HDR (High Dynamic Range). These are not features found commonly in docking stations, which puts the RGB Docking Station a cut above the rest of the competition. Plus, the RGB lighting is also customizable and the design includes a pop-out tray to save space.

JSAUX 7‑in‑1 RGB Cooling Docking Station

The JSAUX 7-in-1 RGB Cooling Docking Station is an absolute monster if you’re aiming for an all inclusive accessory that does everything, wrapping docking ports, cooling fans and RGB in one elegant package. You can run it like a plug-n-play system: you plug it in, and it suddenly becomes your desktop hub- HDMI, USB, Power passthrough, all the while cooling your deck under load. It also supports ALLM, VRR, QFT and HDR. It’s ideal for people that are looking for minimal cable fuss  but still want all the bells and whistles when it comes to cooling solutions.

JSAUX 6‑in‑1 Docking Station with M.2 SSD Enclosure

Last but definitely not least, let’s talk about the JSAUX 6-in-1 Docking Station that incorporates extra storage space in the form of a M.2 SSD enclosure. Honestly, this one is for the power users, the ones looking for a little extra in every department. It comes with an HDMI output, USB ports, ethernet port, as well as a dedicated M.2 SSD storage expansion slot, which is pretty easy to set up and works great to expand your storage space for your Steam Deck and games. Featuring an Aluminium finish and rubber pads to prevent your deck from slipping or scratching, this accessory is definitely one for the books.
