Valve’s official Steam Deck dock is still in the works, and it could be months before we can pair the portable powerhouse with its custom base. Thankfully, there are a number of compatible USB C hub and docking station options already available, and they could help you use your Deck in the living room or at your gaming desk.
Whether you’re looking to create a Steam Deck TV experience or you require a dinky desktop replacement, a USB C dock could transform the handheld’s stationary abilities. Arming the Deck with a gaming keyboard and mouse essentially enables it to fill in as an entry-level gaming PC, and connecting it to an external monitor allows its 1080p abilities to flourish.
There’s a variety of Steam Deck compatible docks on the market, but it’s important to pick one that best suits the device. Some options out there are designed with gaming laptops in mind, meaning they won’t necessarily deliver power to the handheld or include support for its 45W charger. So, to help prevent any docking dilemmas, we’ve compiled a list of the best docking stations for the Steam Deck, including options from Anker, Lenovo, and Belkin.
