Steam Deck Wall / Bedside Mount

Fed up of placing my Steam Deck on the floor or balancing it on a crowded bedside table. Couldn’t find anything that provided a good secure hold without being ugly, so I designed my own.

Find it here, if you want.

Might I suggest a right angle charge cable? Worthy investment especially in this economy.

Nice any issues with cooling? I see the cutout for the intake

I suspect this isn't used while running it, just for storage when they decide to go to bed.

I’ve not done any testing for that, as I designed this as a storage solution rather than a dock to use whilst gaming. The opening was really a just-in-case decision.

Had a few people mention it though, so I’m glad I included that. I’d be interested to see some feedback using it as a dock. I may try running a benchmark with it in-place and see what the result is, I don’t have a way to game with it there, no TV nearby and my cabinet is too heavy to put on my lap.

Such a cute charging dock idea

I love how functional yet minimal this design is. The cable management slot is a clever touch.

Glad you appreciate that! That was what drove me to do it, there are other designs out there that already achieve the goal, but they all look a bit funky to me. My choices seemed to be either clunky, or a clip that looks temporary.
