Look, we’ve covered monitors, keyboards, and GPUs in recent days, and while a charger might not feel all that exciting, anyone with a Steam Deck charger that powers up Valve’s handheld quickly will know how handy faster chargers can be.
Gallium Nitrate (or GaN) is the latest frontier for charging technology (and has been for a couple of years), and it allows for rapid charging in a relatively small form factor. They cost a little more than standard chargers, but Amazon has a couple of discounts worth knowing about.
These GaN chargers are ideal for the Steam Deck
First up, the AOHI Youth charger is relatively compact and comes in a rather fetching yellow colorway.
It can power just about anything thanks to 140W output, with the latest PD3.1 protocol for rapid charging with three ports (two USB-C and one USB-A).
It’s down to $52.99 instead of $64.98, with a smaller dual-port 66W version down to $39.99 from $49.99.
Secondly, Anker’s 100W three-port charger also has a handy foldable plug and a sleeker design. It’s $69.99, but you can apply a coupon to save $10 at checkout. Ideal for laptops or your battery-guzzling handheld PC of choice, Anker has built a name for itself with high-quality charging tech.
Either of those can minimise charging time for your Steam Deck, ASUS ROG Ally, or just about anything else, and you might find yourself impressed by just how quickly your console gets a boost.
