My steam deck oem dock is kind of a buggy piece of crap.. black screening and occasional issues when plugging in a power source. Are any of the third party options more stable?
I used five different ones and found really no difference. Buy the cheapest one.
bro does a 12 min review video about USB docks but does not talk about transfer speeds, screen resolutions etc.. what the fuck is the point of this video? I dont give a rats ass if its made out of plastic or metal I want to know which one has the best SPECS 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Bro get over the included charger. No one wants to go behind their tv and pack up their charger every time they leave the house.
Personally I don't care if a dock feels cheap. It's going to sit on a desk or entertainment center and not move, so it's not something I'm messing with daily outside of putting my Deck on and off it. It's like the Switch dock which is just a cheap light feeling hunk of black plastic. It's nothing special at all but it does its job and that's all that matters.
I constantly have an issue where when I try to use a mouse with a dock it makes the screen go gray until I stop touching the mouse. Any idea what could cause this? Only happens when the mouse and deck are plugged into a dock.
I prefer the extra AC adapter, one stays forever plugged into the dock and other is either my on the go charger or bedside charger
Honestly forgot that these don't come with a charger and since I have my Steam Deck sitting upstairs in my room with the charger cable plugged in close by, I'd have to purchase another charger to plug it into the dock which would be hooked up to my basement TV. That was a deal breaker for me and I cancelled my pending dock order.
I bought the ugreen one. It has 10 Gbps USB ports! And a card reader. İt's great 👍
What I am looking for is the data about if and which third party dock may be or transform a Steam Deck into a firecracker.
At the end of the day
Bought 2 Valve Docks. Garbage. Jsaux works better.
Talked me into Valves lol. With added support and all the display options would work really well for me. Plus the extra power cable works because I like having an extra one when I'm going place to place and just leave the dock out plugged up unless I'm taking that for whatever reason. Thanks for the video.
'm consistently confused by people being like "wow! A second charger!"
It's a charger. You can get them anywhere. They're not even expensive
You sound like a female with nothing but problems😂
I personally really like that the original dock comes with an extra charger, but it should definitely be an option to purchase it without!
I've not picked up a dock yet. Does it allowing charging while the SD is outputting video to a TV? If so, does the charging speed vary depending on which dock is used?
I need one thats more like a box cuz i have cats
I just got the official dock and everyone I see is having issues like me where it works the first time but after it just keeps flickering and tv is not picking up the connection ( I have a Samsung Q70AA 65’ ) people say to just use a different dock not the steam one.
With the OLED now out, could you test if they work with that? I have a NYKO which it does NOT work with.
I just call it "JS Auxillary" lol
“At the end of the day” and “when it comes down to it”, were used more than steam deck lol
The extra charger is a bonus for me. Now i don't have to take the charger from my hone setup when i travel.
It seem no dock supports Dolby surround sound let alone atmos
Very nice review! No bluff, no BS, just straight to the point. I appreciate that!
It’s pronounced Jay-Socks but with a slight u vowel in the word socks. So like sauwks. 😂 hope that helped
I think you said, “at the end of the day” more than “steam deck dock”.
does anyone actually bother to review these multiple steam deck docks with the steam deck being in a case. Tons of people install cases on their steam decks to protect it.
My jsaux has audio issues and latency issues at times.
Thanks for the guide. Looking for a replacement dock since my jsaux dock keeps causing my display to flicker 7 months later. Just bought a brand new AOC C24G1A to replace an old HP monitor I found for free on the side of the toad and had the same problem.
EDIT: It wasn't a Jsaux dock. It was a Warrky dock. Pretty much a cheap clone dock. Might pick up a Jsaux or oem dock.
What about UGREEN 6 in 1 dock ? is it better than these two ?
One thing you should have mentioned agyer i just bought my ivoler is that if youre thinking youre going to be able to play long hiurs docked ur wrong… once u connect a power cord into the dock so it can charge it slow charges and drains ur battery. So once ur low on battery which im sire it will be quick u will have to take it off dock and charge it seperatley i also got.. the newest version on amazon and the wire seems to be deffective it connects and disconnects off my monitor
Having an extra charger for a dock is basically a must have. The whole point of a dock is to quickly and easily connect with a single plug. If you have to go find your charger, plug it in to the dock and then route it to an outlet, it kinda defeats the purpose of a quick connection. Im curious as to how you use your dock and steam deck? Are you an always docked kind of guy?
I enjoy using my AyaNeo because of the dock that came with it.
I'd love to buy the official Dock for the Deck but 100 euros is 100 euros and the other ones are silver and have the NIC on the side which is… urgh… :/
That iVoler Dock might be the best middle ground but I dunno.
Maybe the official one for the TV set and a third party one for the desk?
