It's a simple adapter USB-C male to female, in an angle, making the cable go behind the Deck, so it doesn't wiggle on top.

I bought a jsaux dock 6in1. Here's the catch, buy it off their website, not from amazon, it will ship from China but it's actually tested before hand, and amazon has been accidentally sending back out returned units of tons of electronics, so buy directly from manufacturer, dock works flawlessly, has an L cable included, then just hook up a controller and play it on the coffee table or on a box in front of you.

If you have access to a 3d printer (owning one, having a friend that owns one, or a makersoace near you), this is a really handy print:

I do not, sadly

Jesus fucking Christ right?

Like what the fuck were they thinking with that c cable?

They got it right in the dick why did they fuck it up on the main cable.

140W ? damn

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago

I got one of these. Flat USB C

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I honestly do not understand the problem this solves

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago

Cable breaking from being bent in a weird way for too long.

Be aware that most of them are too tight and bend the port if you have even the slimmest case on the Steam Deck.

Fortunately, it never leaves the house so it's never in a case

I hope the next gen of Steam Deck really has the connector at the bottom this time. It makes all the accessories and docks really awkward the current way.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The bottom??? How am I supposed to set my deck up on it's kickstand with anything plugged in?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's something I'm willing to give up

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

You should be drying up in a paper towel right now since I gave you up.

I wish it would have 2 ports, top and bottom, so I can be more creative with my accessories.

So a USB-C puchhole notch, like for smartphone cameras?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago

yeah, except right in the middle of the display

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I wish the port was on the bottom in the first place. Ditto audio jacks on phones (while they lasted, rip)

How am I supposed to keep my deck up on it's kickstand with it plugged in at the bottom?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The Nintendo Switch has the port at the bottom with the connector built into the dock. IMO a better solution, particularly for playing handheld with the cable in.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago

No this is better:

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (2 children)

For me it's better on top since I sometimes play with the deck rested on a cushion on my lap.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah I can see that. Can it breath ok like that?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago

There shouldn't be any vents on the bottom. Only hole is for the MicroSD

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago

Same, I hate I can't do the same on the switch

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago

I have that exact one and I agree with this. Makes using any other usb setup so much better and noy feel like you will shear off the plug by just using motion control or something.
