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.

I wish the port was on the bottom in the first place. Ditto audio jacks on phones (while they lasted, rip)

For me it’s better on top since I sometimes play with the deck rested on a cushion on my lap.

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.

Cable breaking from being bent in a weird way for too long.

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.
