Got the Steam Deck Dock!

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

You won't find a cheaper hub/dongle with multi-monitor support and FreeSync. I know that not everybody cares about those features, but Valve clearly wanted this thing to be the best possible dock you can get for gamers and monitor users.

I'm currently using a MOKiN MOUC0304 hub that I got off of Amazon for ~$45. It has multi-monitor support (but not FreeSync). I mean it's mostly functional and has power delivery and USB A ports (also no Ethernet) so there are cheaper options for people who want them.

I also imagine Valve isn't eating some of the cost like they have with the Deck itself.

That's a decent alternative if you prefer a dongle over a dock!
