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.
A place to discuss and support all things Steam Deck.

These are not enforced, but they are encouraged.
Rules:
Where it’s going to be bent by the table or whatever it’s resting on anyways?
Presumably the hand grips on the deck keep enough of a gap under the deck to keep this from being an issue.
Okay, if it’s laying down what difference does it make? The use case is a stand where gravity could affect the cable.
What other use case is there other than a stand? If you’re playing with it plugged in, it doesn’t matter what you’re doing, you’re going to be damaging the port.
The one thing people hated about the switch is downward socket, now we are intentionally adding it our decks…?
It helps a lot when wanting to play on the deck while also charging it.
If you’re moving it, nothing you do will prevent port damage, that’s quite literally the one thing you shouldn’t do to preserve the ports life span….
If you can’t put the thing down to charge it, invest in a stand a controller instead of paying for it later on, or suck it up and let it charge for a bit instead of damaging your shit because you’re impatient or don’t want to get the right stuff…
Why are you acting so hostile over this like it's some big thing? It's just a connector that some people like.
