It’s a simple adapter USB-C male to female, in an angle, making the cable go behind the Deck, so it doesn’t wiggle on top.
Be aware that most of them are too tight and bend the port if you have even the slimmest case on the Steam Deck.
Fortunately, it never leaves the house so it’s never in a case
Where did you get this one? Tried looking for it and didn’t find anythingEdit: Never mind, found it! I searched for “180 degree USB-C adapter”
Amazon, sorry
I’ve got a 90 degree adapter, and made myself a brace of sorts to keep it from wiggling and stressing that precious usb c port… https://www.printables.com/model/292752-steam-deck-usb-c-right-angle-adapter-reinforcement
That’s pretty cool
Thanks :)
I have that exact one and I agree with this. Makes using any other usb setup so much better and noy feel like you will shear off the plug by just using motion control or something.
If you have access to a 3d printer (owning one, having a friend that owns one, or a makerspace near you), this is a really handy print:

For me it’s better on top since I sometimes play with the deck rested on a cushion on my lap.
Same, I hate I can’t do the same on the switch
Yeah I can see that. Can it breath ok like that?
There shouldn’t be any vents on the bottom. Only hole is for the MicroSD
I hope the next gen of Steam Deck really has the connector at the bottom this time. It makes all the accessories and docks really awkward the current way.
I wish it would have 2 ports, top and bottom, so I can be more creative with my accessories.

Looks like this thing if someone is looking for a shopping link.
Edit: One of the reviews mentions this is too short for the Steam Deck, so might not be the exact one OP posted a picture of.
This one shows the steam deck in its info
This is the one I got, indeed
