It's been kinda a slow week as far as Deck news goes, so seems like a good time for a discussion post.

What's something that's significantly improved your deck experience? It can be a hardware accessory, software, decky plugin, etc.

I’ve got a JSAUX modcase, and it’s been great for deck portability. The case that came with the deck is great for protection, but too big to fit easily in my bag I take to work. The modcase provides enough protection to put the deck in a bag, and has made it a lot easier to take with me. dBrand did this first with the Killswitch case, but it was a bit more expensive than I was willing to pay. I think some other brands have since made their own versions of it, but I don’t have any experience with those.

It is really nice.

My buddy has the KillSwitch case and I honestly prefer the Jsaux. Nicer texture on the grips.

Also love having the slide for the battery on the back.

I hate dealing with cords so I often plug a battery pack in, use it till I drain the battery pack. Then by the time the pack is full - the deck is almost empty. Rinse, Repeat
