Hey folks. I have been wondering about buying a dock or USB hub for my steam deck oled for a while now. That way I can connect and use a mouse and keyboard. The problem is that I don't know which one to buy. The official one is not only expensive but also a bit bulky for my use. I would like to have a mini option. What are your recommendations for someone like me?
I’m probably just cynical but I strongly advise against using some shitty Chinese named adapter like this. They are prone to overheating or causing other problems and just generally don’t last long. Amazon is full of these Chinese named products made by ORKGHY or YHBLO and they disappear after 6 months, only to the replaced by another bullshit name Chinese company and you can’t return it. Go with Anker or another known name brand that doesn’t recycle its name every 6 months if you want a dock that works for years. I use this one and it’s the same price as the cheap ones and is rock solid.
You do have a point. I agree with you in that one. I'm looking more for something with portability, so the one you posted seems like a good option. Since I don't need a bulky dock like the official version or the other ones around.
I’m glad I could help, it is very small and portable and works great
