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 use this ivoler dock. It works well, is very cheap, and has a larger deck slot than most other docks so you can use a deck in a case with it (Spigen and Jsaux mod cases both work, although the modcase's kickstand gets in the way a little).

The only downside is that it doesn't have an Ethernet port. This wasn't a concern for me (I get strong wifi where I'm at, and have a USB Ethernet adapter if I need it), and I wanted a cheaper dock over one with Ethernet.
