Essential accessories for portable consoles

Essential accessories for portable consoles (the kit that's worth the money)

1) microSD card: more space without the hassle

Nintendo Switch (includes OLED)

Nintendo indicates compatibility with microSDHC (4–32GB) and microSDXC (64GB+) , and recommends UHS-I cards with good transfer speeds (even mentioning a guideline of 60–95 MB/s).
Note: To use microSDXC, the console may require a system update.

Steam Deck

Valve indicates support for microSD UHS-I (SD/SDXC/SDHC) .

How to sell better (UMBOX): create filters in the collection “microSD” by UHS-I , capacity (128/256/512GB) and “compatible with Switch / Steam Deck”.

2) USB-C Dock/Hub: Turns your notebook into a "living room console"

  • The Switch OLED has a base with a wired LAN port (more stable for online use) and 64GB of internal storage.

  • In the Steam Deck, Valve describes USB-C with DisplayPort Alt-mode and external connectivity for displays/controllers.

Tip: Selling "dock + LAN cable + remote control" as a bundle increases AOV (average order value).

3) Power bank (extra battery) — purchase according to the correct standard.

For Steam Deck-type devices, Valve indicates 45W USB-C PD3.0 charging.
So, you're looking for power banks with USB-C Power Delivery (ideally ≥45W) and a decent cable.

4) Protection: screen protector + hard case (this is the basic requirement to avoid returns)

  • Tempered glass/screen protector → scratches are the number one problem in daily use.

  • Hard case → secure transport (backpack/travel).

  • Grips → improve comfort during long sessions.
