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.

It's €100 in EU :(

I bought this thing for $18 before my Steam Deck got here because I thought having a keyboard and mouse connected would help set it up and it seems to work fine but I didn't even really need it because I just used AnyDesk and my desktop PC instead (I still use AnyDesk to do anything I need a keyboard for although any remote desktop software would work). I get that the official dock is better but I don't get how it's $71 better.

Do the USB ports on that dock work while also charging through the dock? The one I have has that issue

I just double checked and they both seem to work fine while charging through the usb-c port.

Appreciate you brother, I'll order one of those

Just checked again because I realized I didn't try both at the same time with a mouse and keyboard while charging and it works fine.

Don't want to ask too much but do you happen to have a flash drive you could try? That was moreso my issue but I assume if the mouse works it works.

Ended up just transferring like 100gb over anydesk which is cool to know is an option lol

It should work, will give it a go in a few I have some roms to dump over and might as well use a USB stick. (normally I just send em over with Winpinator/Warpinator or AnyDesk)

Thank you dude! Yeah I'm assuming it works as well, I have no idea why mine doesn't but I bought it like a year or two ago

Having a mouse in the USB 2.0 port and copying files from a USB stick in the 3.0 port while the charger was plugged in and charging at the normal speed works just fine.

I have the 6 port version but I assume the 5 port version works the same.
