Bedtime gaming has received a playful enhancement with a new mount designed for the Steam Deck, reducing the chances of your handheld device crashing onto your face. This innovative accessory from Mechanism enables gamers to securely attach their Steam Deck to various GoPro mounts, making it safer for late-night gaming sessions.

“Let me set the scene for you: there I am, lounging around while playing the office Steam Deck when suddenly it happens. Maybe my replay of 1000xResist has shocked me anew, or maybe there’s just something in my eye, but my grip on Valve’s handheld loosens for just a moment and before I know it—WHAM! My face has been clobbered by the co-conspirators of the Steam Deck’s heft and gravity.”

Translation: A humorous recount of an accidental face-palm moment while gaming with the Steam Deck.

While the mount may look a bit silly, its functionality is serious. Not only can it be used for traditional gaming but it also enables a range of GoPro applications, such as attaching the device to a tripod or even a harness for a more comfortable experience.

The mount requires the Deckmate grip, sold separately, which gives you the ability to fasten your Steam Deck securely. Priced at about $19/£16 USD for the grip and $9/£8 USD for the GoPro mount, this accessory comes with a caveat: it is intended for static use only.

Make sure to think twice before using it while engaging in extreme activities!
