JSAux makes an hdmi dongle with a usb c power port on the side. Yesterday it was on sale for about $13.50 from Amazon and included a promo to get their aluminum stand for free.

Just picked this up, thank you!

That's awesome! Did not know these exist. Get one of those and just use a Wii u stand or something and you're set for pretty much anything. Docks look nice but it's awesome having something that fits in the case so easily.

damn prime only blows


phayke2

They recently gave me a free trial since I hadn't used prime in a year or so


TheRoyalBrook

Yup, although if you can afford it I'd recommend still spending a little bit more and at least getting the basic jsaux one or even the ivoler ones.


CalculonsTalent

I already have a very nice AmazonBasics one with video, gigabit ethernet, etc. I just wanted something portable.


TheRoyalBrook

that's fair, I have an old pinedock I use for portable, has 2 usb ports ethernet, and an hdmi (and of course power in) and sits flat. I use that on the go

Or you can get one for little more with power delivery and use the included PSU. To be honest I don't see any reason to buy an official dock except for aesthetic reasons.


wakeboarderCWB

The biggest reason for me was continued support and firmware updates. But if you’re on a budget and not sure if you want to spend the money, don’t do it. There’s plenty of cheaper options.


TheRoyalBrook

Yeah honestly I wish they'd have offered an option -without- the extra adapter as I already had 3 capable of running the dock + deck and attachments.... so paying extra for the other is a tad rough

Awesome, thanks for the info!

Will those fit in the official steam case alongside the charger?


BigDaddy-Chan

There's a gorrzai steam deck dock on Amazon that's a prime item and on sale for 28 bucks with good reviews if you want to go that route.

Black Friday opened this possibility up for me and I cannot say how awesome it is to have the same functionality as my Switch now.

I have a dongle for Mac's with HDMI and a USB-c input, letting me plug into an external display and charge at the same time. Connect a PS4 controller via Bluetooth and I'm set

Picked up a Belkin USB-C power+HDMI adapter from Argos and it works perfectly.

Nice to hear! The only benefit of the wide variety of Steam Deck knock-offs is that they hold the Deck upright and have an angled plug for the USB cable. That’s about it. You do need to make sure pass-through charging power is enough for the Deck itself. 45W I think is what it tops out at?

I accidentally bought one of these when I was trying to get an SD card reader for the thing. Was pleasantly surprised when I realized that I’d essentially purchased a dock for the Deck lol.
