So I’m trying to find a dock for my steam deck, anyone have recommendation ?
Official dock works great for me.
I have been enjoying the official steam dock. Everything just seems to work nicely together.
I have both a Jsaux dock and a dock from Skull & Co.
Both work just as well as each other, except my Jsaux has Ethernet, my Skull & Co has a removable “core” so I have a portable dock which is good for potability, it also works with Nintendo Switch.
I have a NewQ dock that snaps on the back of the SD and has a built in stand. 5/5 would recommend!
Also consider your use case re: the control method you’re using. If you’re ever going to want to use the Deck itself as your controller, then you want a hub like this, for example and a $10 holding stand for when you have to put it down… not a dock. If you have a separate controller or are only intending to M&K while docked, then a dock is probably the best solution.
With a dock like that, doesn’t it dangle while you use the deck as a controller?
No, I velcroed it to the back of my Deck (careful not to cover any vents). You could also use an extension cord for the Deck plug in part if that’s more convenient.
Ah velcro, clever!
I have a JSaux dock that I’m happy with.
I heard some people say it was bricking decks, was that fixed?
The official one from valve? I don’t have it but that’s what I would buy.
I have the official dock. Overall satisfied but doesn’t work great with the tv downstairs (Philips One). I have to unplug the power every time I want to dock my Deck or I get no picture on the tv.
I actually was able to initially solve it by changing the hdmi wire and worked perfectly each time I turned it on. Unfortunately it just started doing the same issue yeaterday
Can you clarify what you mean by BBC hanging? Thanks in advance.
Well that’s weird, why would my keyboard type BBC lol. It was supposed to say changing the hdmi wire I updated the original comment 🧐
Maybe you just like BBC? :) Nothing to be ashamed of. Plenty of people do!
Hahah i was laughing when I saw it
