How to Use Your Steam Deck Kickstand Case

Quick answer

Using the kickstand on your Steam Deck Unicorn Beetle PRO case is straightforward: flip it out, adjust the angle, and set your device on a flat surface for stable tabletop gaming.

How to use the kickstand on your Steam Deck Unicorn Beetle PRO case

1. 1. Locate the kickstand: Turn your Steam Deck over so the back of the case faces up. The kickstand is a small, flat tab near the bottom edge of the case. Gently pull it outward until it clicks into the open position. Do not force it—if it resists, check for debris or misalignment.
2. 2. Adjust the viewing angle: The kickstand has multiple notches that let you set the Steam Deck at different tilt angles. Push the stand in or out slightly to click into the notch that gives you the best viewing angle for your setup. A common mistake is leaving the stand in the wrong notch, causing the device to wobble. Test each notch until the deck sits flat.
3. 3. Place on a stable surface: Set the Steam Deck on a flat, non-slippery surface like a desk or table. Make sure the kickstand is fully extended and the device is centered over it. Gently press down on the top of the case to confirm it's stable. Avoid soft surfaces like a bed or couch—the kickstand can sink in and tip the device over.
4. 4. Adjust the stand for storage: When you're done, push the kickstand back into the case until it clicks flush. This keeps the stand protected and prevents it from catching on bags or pockets. Leaving the stand out can cause it to snap off if you put the deck in a bag. Always stow it before carrying.
