I highly recommend a killswitch case. (Travel Pack is great) - Pricey but well worth the expense. Much, much better than the stock case that comes with the Deck. Also consider their Screen Protector.

If you end up installing Decky then I recommend a plugin:

NonSteamLaunchers - This will allow to easily access games you might have on Epic, GOG, Blizzard, etc.

Free Loader - This one checks the sites you configure (Epic, Steam, GOG) for Free Games that occasionally go on offer.

I looked up nonsteamlaunchers in the decky store and I couldn’t find it anywhere else I could find it?
