I just bought the 64Gb model and a 2Tb drive (will be about a week to get delivered).

What are some essential accessories to pair with the steam deck?

I'd say you have the essentials already after getting your 2TB drive. With that kind of storage you won't have to think about buying an SD card for a while (if ever). You might want to think about getting a case though. Preferably one with a kickstand. Mine also helped with the steam decks plastic shell being misaligned a bit leading to hard edges pressing into my palms. Other than that I'd say most of the (more) essential stuff is software related. Like getting decky loader and exploring its plugins. Edit: one thing that came to mind right now are good headphones. My bluetooth headphones have a very slight delay (your milage may vary) but fortunately the steam deck has a headphone jack
