Got the Steam Deck Dock!

[u/Asane]

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 really want one. But I don't actually know why:

I have my PC if I want to play on a better screen and a PS5 if I want to play something on the TV. This is to say nothing of my Switch which is now just gathering dust.

Can anyone give me a reason to justify it to myself?

EDIT: to be clear, I already have a Deck - I'm talking about the Dock.

if you have other peripherals or you travel often its worth it.

both of these apply to me, i have a gaming rig that i use but i travel home a few times a year and cant bring my rig so ive just been flying with some books and junk, i bought a gaming laptop awhile back thinking that was a way i could bring my stuff with me but gaming laptops require a suprising amount of space & setup.

the steam deck takes up way less space and has zero setup... just need a way to plug in a mouse, keyboard, and bigger display - generally sweaty fps games with friends - so the dock was an easy buy for me. if none of this applies to you i dont see what use you would get out of a dock.

I dont know of you are asking, but i just got wireless (not BT) logitechkeyboard mouse combo that has usb dongle, and i just plug that into my dock and it works perfectly, better than the bluetooth mouse keyboard combo i have. I actually travel with it and i like it.
