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?

If the extra charger that covers with the official dock doesn't work to you (fair enough since you mention that portability is key) I backed the jsaux case on Kickstarter and am quite happy with us: https://jsaux.com/products/omnicase-2-storage-docking-station?variant=43986713772252

I got the pro version, but there's no reason that you can't get the standard one and it came with a nice little travel pouch, but I don't know if that covers with the ices you buy directly.

Seeing that I can use any other charger that is 45W then I don't need the one of valves. I just can not justify the €90 just for valve support and a charger. Is good to have firmware updates, but I don't need that. If the product works and is half the price and can be moved from place to place quickly then I'm good.
