When I'm using it handheld, my favorite accessory is a pair of 2x magnification reading glasses. Blows up the screen, and makes it very nice... super easy to see everything.

But I'm in my 40s with bad eyes, so YMMV.

you need a steam deck version of one of these:

I had one of these that also had fold out stereo speakers. Biggest gimmick, but I loved it

Right! Having one of these back in the day was awesome. I think the one I had was for the gameboy advance.

Before I thought of the glasses, I scoured the internet to see if anyone was selling something like this for the Deck, or if at least it could be 3d printed. Nothing out there that I found.

So could be a small business / side hustle idea for someone who could design and make them. Just tossing that out there.

I got some of these that clip on to my glasses for miniature painting, and they were very nice for being able to flip on and off as needed. Looks like these come in different magnification powers, which sounds handy, depending on one's needs.
