FIRST things to do with your Steam Deck

These are the first things I'd recommend doing with your steam deck. Links to all the products I talk about are below. None of this is sponsored, I paid for everything with my own money.

FIRST things to do with your Steam Deck

Things to do with your Steam Deck first: 1.) kiss it gently.

It's so awesome that Edward Norton is taking time out of his schedule to make Steam Deck videos!

Another tip is when you format your new SD card, don't use the built in format option in game mode. Manually format your SD card in desktop mode using the included KDE Partition Manager in the start menu. This will increase the SD downloading speed significantly for most users.

Getting mine in the mail today, super excited. Thanks for the tips!!

Thank you, just ordered mine today, don't wanna wait for shipping, but needed to know what to do to start!

Another quick recommendation: get a sideways 90° angled USB cable or adapter. Something that you can more easily plug into your deck while it's in the case so you can charge y when it's not in use.

I’m not new to the steam deck but these tips really did help!!! Keep up the sick videos there awesome!

[ChariotManGaming]

Great video! man. These are the things I would do with my Steam Deck myself. Loving you high quality videos. I will definitely looking to talk about this myself Lol.

[Laguna-gnxt]

[wolfeeh]

I found your video shortly after I bought my steamdeck to find out some additional information about it and there was one thing you mentioned that I didn't know you could do easily anyway and that's installing plug-ins thanks for the info. I think the steamdeck is the best handheld around I didn't think anything would beat the switch boy I was proven wrong 😅

Just a protip: if you have the 512GB version do not put a screen protector on it because it has the etched glass you. Will turn the screen into a mirror...

[melissasaurus_rex]

Super excited, ordered mine today! Enjoying your videos while I impatiently wait for it to ship & arrive 😅

[samganji]

I got windows on the micro sd card and I can dual boot. Hugely recommended.

Comment on the external battery bank:
Look up the output of the battery, most low price ones, even if they're of good quality and have good capacity, top off at 5V and 2-3amps for a total of 10-15watts of output. That is more than fine for a phone even while under heavy use, but the steam Deck does need at least a 20watt (so 5volts, 4amps) charger to be able to charge while in use, otherwise it might actually still drain even while charging if you're using it to game. Basically any battery bank will work if the steam deck is off or sleeping though, so you could still use pretty much any old external battery you have lying around to give it a bit of extra juice between play sessions if you don't have an outlet handy.

I've been loving my Steam Deck. Fallen Order runs great on it. It was a little annoying to get started, but that was due to EAs interface. Otherwise, the game itself is great.😊

[Nomoisoi]

I never watched you until now but you've earned my sub, you literally went straight to the point at the beginning and I really like that.

As for the Steam Deck, I sold my Series S because of it, I love the Deck!!!

My Steamdeck is coming Friday or Saturday. I have Amazon Vine so ordered a case, screen protector, and stand which were all free. Can't wait for it to arrive.
