Steam deck triple monitor setup with the official dock (self.steamdeck)

Hi, just wondering if the title is possible. I'm currently daily driving my steam deck as my work pc in my office. mostly i used it to stream programs off my much beefier main pc at home.

Recently I've been thinking of adding a drawing tablet to the setup (wacom movink) but it uses usb c to c and the dock only has one for power. so if i used an adapter (usb c to usb a), would it work?

cheers.

in my experience the official dock has trouble with just one monitor. i couldn't imagine trying to configure 3.

when i boot into desktop mode with the official dock, there's a 50-50 chance that it just doesn't load the image at all on the monitor and i have to take it off the dock and just use desktop in handheld mode.

maybe a better splitter or connection could do it. but the official dock seems to have a lot of issues with USB inputs in general.

oh yeah sometimes mine does that too. i have 1440p and 1080p hooked to the dock. sometimes they struggle but i think its just driver issue so i just rebooted the deck and its running normally again.

once you running more than 1 monitor. you can never go back.
