Embark on a Gaming Odyssey: Steam Deck Charging Hacks
As a gamer on-the-go, I’ve always been fascinated by the Steam Deck’s potential to revolutionize handheld gaming. But, let’s face it, charging this beast of a handheld can be a daunting task. The Steam Deck’s type-C port is located at the top of the device, making it awkward to charge while protecting it with the official case. Or so I thought.
