This GoPro mount for Steam Decks unlocks new levels of convenience

The Steam Deck is great. It’s also big and heavy, especially compared to older handheld gaming devices like the Game Boy or Switch. What’s a PC gamer to do to soothe their tired arms? With this new accessory, you could simply strap it to anything that’s made for a GoPro action camera. Like your chest, for example.

The Steam Deck GoPro Mount from GetMechanism (spotted by Steam Deck HQ) isn’t really a mount in and of itself. It’s an adapter. But since it works with anything made for the extremely popular GoPro line, you can see how it unlocks a lot of possibilities. Strap a Steam Deck to a clamp-on tripod, or a harness for bungee jumping, or a kayak, or an ATV.

Or, probably much more likely, to your chest. As seen in the adapter’s own promo images. So you don’t have to hold it up in bed. I say this with absolutely zero judgment, as a man who on more than one occasion has tapped links on my phone with my nose so I didn’t have to get my hand out from under the warm covers.

The adapter itself is just $9, but you’ll need the $19 Deckmate Grip to attach it to your Steam Deck. Similar grips are available for the Switch, Asus ROG Ally, and Ally X. The Gaming Pillow add-on seems perfect for my theoretical purposes, but it’s sadly back-ordered at the moment.
