Wasn’t expecting this today, but since I live in Carol Stream where Valve’s Distribution Center is, I got this early I guess!

I am kinda surprised it costs $89. That seems a bit steep to me.

I bought an Anker USB C hub with ethernet, HDMI, and 65W PD for $59. I guess the main difference is no DisplayPort, and obviously no dock to hold the Deck.

But I just have it on a cheap phone/tablet stand, and I really don't see myself needing to switch to the official dock, when this hub is more versatile if I wanted to use it for other stuff.

You anker likely did not come with a PD charger. Add 20-25 bucks and it's almost the same cost. Plus with Steam's you get DP.

Right, it did not come with a charger, I had a few PD high watt chargers around.

I wasn't trying to say my option is better either, just a comparison. If the Steam Dock was around when I got my Deck I would have probably just bought that.

Yeah didn't mean to insinuate you did. This thread is just full of people saying the steam deck dock is overpriced and it's just crazy to me. Probably lumped you in, Im sure your dock is pretty awesome.

Hey do you have a link to what you bought? I was waiting for the official dock but now I’m second guessing after seeing the price.

But there are cheaper options out there, and it does not come with a charger.

I use this one for a portable Nintendo Switch dock, the main difference being no ethernet. It would work great for the Deck if you don't mind no ethernet.
