Mobile gaming is currently having one of its biggest booms since the GameBoy era. Options like the Steam Deck, ASUS ROG Ally, and Nintendo Switch have become immensely popular for gaming on the go. Part of this is because they're excellent as non-portable consoles as well when plugged into a dock that allows you to use them with a larger display.

Finding a good dock can feel like a challenge, particularly because there are many options flooding the industry that aren't the most reputable. We're here to help you cut through the fluff and find some docking options that are high-quality and reputable. Here are our choices for the best docks to use with your Steam Deck.

Syntech isn't a name that many of us are familiar with, but their Steam Deck Dock is a well-known and popular option - so much so that we've opted to place it first on our list. This is an excellent go-to option for anyone who's looking for a third-party dock.

At its price, there aren't many options that can feature the same benefits. With 6-in-1 docking, this piece features HDMI 2.0 ports, 4K resolution at a 60Hz refresh rate, a great ethernet connection, and more. This option is also compatible with Steam Deck OLEDs, ROG Ally, and the Lenovo Legion Go.

JSAUX's 6-in-1 option is another wonderful choice that provides strong competition with nearly any other product in the space. This option's gigabit ethernet is its main talking point, offering up to 1000Mbps. That makes downloading games a quicker task, while also keeping your connection more stable - though, naturally, this can vary depending on your internet service provider.

Aside from this, the JSAUX Docking Station is compatible with 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the ROG Ally as well. It offers 3 USB-A 3.0 connections and a 100W🤪 USB-C charging port to make sure you have as much connectivity as you need to keep your station up and running.

SABRENT enters the space at a slightly more affordable price tag than many competitors, but it's still not quite in the territory of what we'd call a 'budget option.' Still, if you're strapped for cash and need a good replacement dock fast, its lower price in comparison to other items on this list can make it a great choice.

Otherwise, you may favor this piece for its six ports, which makes it a strong choice if you're connecting multiple devices. It has 3 USB-A ports and 2 USB-C ports, with the sixth remaining free for alternative options like external storage. With 4K resolution and up to 60Hz refresh rates for a secondary display, this minimalist option makes a strong case for itself.

NewQ is a brand that mostly 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:deals in accessories, which has given them a good amount of experience when it comes to making docks. Their NewQ Steam Deck Dock is our choice for a great affordable budget option, but you won't be stuck with worse performance just because of saving your budget.

This deck has four ports, featuring 2 USB-A ports, an HDMI port, and a USB-C port. If you aren't using too many devices, there's no reason for you to need more, and it benefits greatly from a minimalist setup. One drawback is that this dock is only compatible with the Steam Deck, but... that's what we're here for, isn't it? It isn't the best option if you need a deck for multiple devices, but if you just need a Steam Deck dock, this budget choice might be the best on the market.

At full price, the iVanky Docking Station is more expensive than many competitors - at first. This piece has an interesting selling point where you can purchase it without a power supply for less than half of its full price. If you're replacing a previous dock, you may already have a compatible power supply. Make sure, because without one, this option is about $70 - a price point that makes it difficult to justify, if we're being frank.

Aside from being able to purchase it at less than half its full price, this piece is an excellent choice for people with multiple 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:mobile devices. It's compatible with nearly every official product on the market, provides plenty of ports, and a hardwire ethernet connection up to 1000Mbps.

Are the "X-in-1" numbers getting a bit ridiculous once we reach thirteen in one? Maybe a bit, but if you're looking for a dock that can serve as the focal point of the majority of your gaming setup, the LISEN 13-in-1 Docking Station is a fantastic choice. Like many of its competitors, this piece offers 4K resolution at 60Hz and up to a gig of ethernet speed.

Otherwise, you can enjoy this piece's massive performance with compatibilities from every USB variant, ethernet, HDMI, and even Micro SDs. There are 5 total ports for USB and plenty of other functionalities on offer. One of its biggest benefits is its dual cooling fan system that makes sure your portable console isn't in danger of overheating.
