Acefast GaN Smart PD Charger Hub with Steam Deck in backdrop on white desk

It’s always great to see Prime Day deals on Steam Deck accessories, but I’m pretty stoked about this Acefast charger dock specifically. I’m the kind of handheld nerd that loves being able to whack together hybrid gaming setups where ever I go, and with 30% thanks to Amazon’s Big Deal Days, I think all portable PC players should get one for their backpack.

At Amazon, you can now grab the Acefast GaN PD65W fast charger hubfor $23.79, down from its typical $33.99 price tag. It’s worth noting that this is actually a bigger drop than it looks, as it used to consistently sit at around $50 before the summer. MSRP have helped bring its default tag down since then, which is why I’m thrilled to see an additional 30% off rather than any sort of pseudo price cuts.

As a certifiedgaming handheldnerd, I’ve been testing all thebest Steam Deck dockssince day one, meaning I’m pretty savvy with pricing. For $23, you’ll normally end up with a standard 5-in-1 model that doesn’t include a charger. That latter caveat is what hammers home the value of Acefast’sPrime Day gaming deal, as you’re getting dual functionality that would set you back far more picking up separate accessories.

Acefast GaN PD Charger Hub with HDMI and USB C connected

If you’ve already got an arsenal ofSteam Deck accessories, you might be wondering why you’d need theAcefast GaN Smart PD Charger Hub. In truth, I had the same mindset before testing the add-on, but swiftly realized that its compact nature comes with incredible handheld benefits. It’s absolutely a gadget I’d use more for on-the-go gaming rather than at my full desk setup, but it’s versatile enough to be handy in various scenarios.

I’ve spent a chunk of time using the charger hub with mySteam Deck OLED, and two things stuck out during testing. The first is how compact it is, as GaN (Gallium Nitate) allows it to feature HDMI and a full-sized USB port while taking up the same footprint as an ordinary power brick. In fact, it’s almost the same size as anAsus ROG Phone 8 Pro adapter, so brining it with you isn’t going to remotely weigh you down.

Steam Deck connected to Samsung TV using Acefast GaN PD Charger Hub with game Dredge on screen

The second boon that took me back is its 65W charging capabilities. The standard Steam Deck charger is 45W, designed to accommodate the handheld’s 26W requirements. That leaves a nice amount of wiggle room to run demanding games, supply juice to its battery, and power some accessories using the front USB port. Depending on what peripherals you’re aiming to use. I actually have tried using it with an Anker 4-port hub to plug more devices in, which can work well if you keep to lighter add-ons.

Naturally, if you’re looking to connect external hard drives and desktop peripherals, you’d be better off picking up a full docking station. Ideally, you’ll want somethingBaseus 6-in-1so as to replicate a proper rig setup, but that’s really for the at-home gaming desk enthusiasts. If you simply want a way to discretely connect your Steam Deck to your TV or something that’ll fit in your pocket for travel, the Acefast GaN Smart PD Charger Hub is what I’d pick, especially for just $23.
