The Steam Deck is a handheld device, meaning it has everything you need in a single place. It has a screen, buttons, and controls, so you don’t have to worry about connecting external devices to use it. However, some people still prefer using a keyboard and mouse with their Steam Deck for certain games. If you’re one of them, then this 3D-printable case might be for you.
3D-printed Steam Deck case with space for a keyboard
Several cases have popped up in the market ever since the Steam Deck was released, but most of them are carrying cases and can only store the handheld, its charger, and a few extra cables. However, a user named Natter_LT on Cults has managed to create a unique Steam Deck case that is perfect for those who prefer using a keyboard with their handheld.
As seen in the image below, the case does more than just protecting your Steam Deck. It comes with space to store a small keyboard, making the entire setup look like a mini laptop. The case also becomes a stand when you pull out a piece from the back. This can prove to be extremely useful when you want to set it up on a table. Aside from that, there are cutouts in the case for all the Steam Deck’s ports, so you can plug in chargers, headphones, and other devices without worrying about removing the case.
All of the 3D printing files are available on Cults. Natter_LT has provided detailed instructions on how to print the 3D case and what materials you’ll need for it on the product page. If you’re interested in making it, then you can buy all the files for just $9.40. The creator has also posted a video on YouTube to show how the case works. In any case, the files have been downloaded around 76 times so far and have 67 likes, indicating that people seem to be enjoying the creative design.
