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?

Pay attention to the cables you use too.

An old hdmi 1.0 isn't going to get you 4k@240Hz.

I don't know what specs the steam deck/your display are actually capable of, so no specific recommendations.

I like cables from 'Cables Matter' on Amazon. Nothing I've gotten from them has felt cheap or failed to live up to whatever its specs are.
