This 3D-printable Steam Deck holder is a $12.86 download and perfect for a mouse and keyboard setup
Table of Contents
The Steam Deck is a handheld gaming device that has essentially everything you need built into it. It has a big screen in the middle, with buttons and controls around it. This means you don't need to connect anything else to use it. However, some people prefer using a keyboard and mouse when playing certain games. In fact, in some genres, it feels like a necessity. So, if you like the versatility of the Deck but want to play on KB&M, this cost-effective accessory could be perfect for you. Also, don’t worry if you don’t have a 3D printer, as the full package is available to buy as well.
Steam Deck holder for a mini-laptop setup
Sometimes, it can be tricky to use a keyboard and mouse with the Steam Deck because it's hard to keep the device in a comfortable position on a table. You might think about buying a dedicated stand, but we think we’ve found an easier solution. Well, a user named Falkke on Cults (a 3D printer model store) has come up with a clever solution to turn your Steam Deck into a mini laptop.

The holder created by Falkke allows you to attach your Steam Deck directly to a keyboard, and it keeps the device floating in the air. There's no stand on the back to support the Steam Deck, but you can adjust the angle of the device by tightening or loosening the knob on the holder. This makes it easy to find the perfect position for your Steam Deck while using a keyboard and mouse. This setup is useful if you're traveling, as it's compact and easy to carry.
Falkke has made it easy for anyone to get this holder. If you want to 3D-print it yourself, you can find all the instructions on the product page. The page also lists the parts used to make the holder. If you don't have a 3D printer, you can buy the whole setup from Etsy for $37.83. But if you want to create it yourself, you can get the 3D printing files from Cults for just $12.86.
We also recently spotted a 3D-printable Steam Deck case which comes with space for a keyboard, so you can check that out if you want something that will keep your handheld protected as well.
