About Steam Deck Dock, 6-in-1 Steam Deck Docking Station
Overall Feedback:
79% positive
97% found it compatible with devices,yet
The hardwired USB C cable is very short and the L-shaped jack makes it difficult to use with non-Steam devices, except maybe a phone.
The cable is too short to reach the port on my Lenovo Legion Go, even though it's listed as compatible in the item description.
The shredder is not compatible with my MacBool Pro (13 mid-2020) and I am not sure if I got a bad unit or it is not compatible with the MBPs video.
96% found it compatible with different os,yet
When I switch out of steam and use the Linux OS, I find it easier to use the tablet with a keyboard and mouse.
The video capabilities of the docking station do not work with my laptop.
I bought a different dock before this one and after installing it, I realized it was only 100mbps.
96% liked the data transfer speed,while
Passthrough charging does fast charging, but not super fast charging due to the limitation of only one C port as an input and no Cs as output.
97% appreciated the durability; however
The housing of the docking station is made of metal with pads to prevent scraping where the handheld is propped up.
After one day, HDMI stopped working and now it is unrecognizable.
I have experienced that the metal lip in the front can scratch the screen if not careful while putting it in or if the deck gets bumped forward. It is important to be cautious while handling it.
98% were satisfied with the ease of use
I found it very easy to cast a steam deck to a TV using the product.
I found it easier to use the laptop-docking-station with a keyboard and mouse.
I found it extremely easy to set up the dock to my TV and it worked immediately after hooking it up.
93% highlighted the multi-monitor support,but
I noticed that the device has only one display and not a dual display.
I have to disconnect and reconnect the dock to the Steam Deck hoping it finally recognizes my monitor.
95% liked the number and types of ports,while
It's nice to have 3 USB, HDMI and Displayport all in one dock.
The dock has 4K@60Hz HDMI/ DisplayPort output, Gigabit Ethernet, three USB-A 3.0 ports, and a USB-C charging port.
I think the passthrough charging is fast, but not super fast, because there is only one C port as an input and no Cs as output.
95% were satisfied with the power delivery,but
I am reaching the 30W turbo and it shows an icon and popup saying that I should use the official charger because not enough power will be supplied. However, it stays charged and works perfectly fine.
Passthrough charging does fast charging, but not super fast charging due to only one C port as input and no Cs as output.
The power delivery of the laptop-docking-station is poor, as I only get 15 watts when connected, making it difficult to play triple A titles.
96% appreciated the security features,but
The docking station has thick rubber strips to prevent the screen from scratching while in docked mode, which is a nice feature that most budget docking stations overlook.
I did not mention any security features of the laptop-docking-stations.
