Every movement of the console yanks the cable and the connector left and right.

Just dont forget that this is a cheap piece of hardware, not made to last for years.
In other words, dont think youll get one and then use it until the end of time.
If youre feeling extra adventurous, you’ve got the option to order one from AliExpress.

Theyre much cheaper there, but youre going to wait much longer for the adapter to arrive.
Just look for a listing with a ton of five-star reviews.
If you still want to order one, do not get the one linked above.

That one doesnt fit the ROG Ally; the machine is too chunky for it.
Getthe angled USB-C adapter from JSAUX; that one fits both the Deck and the Ally.
If you own a Lenovo Legion Go, congratulations!

I recommend stick grips even to prospective owners of a Steam Deck OLED.
The OLED revision does come with redesigned thumbsticks, but they look like they could benefit from extra grip.
The Deck LCDs base thumbsticks have near-zero grip, and sleeving them with thumbstick grips is a must.

Doing this long-term can noticeably reduce your Decks battery degradation.
