Steam Deck Dock for Steam Deck/OLED, Portable Stand Design USB C Hub with TF Card Slot, HDMI 2.0 4K@60Hz Display, 2*USB-A 3.0, USB-C PD 100W Max, Stream Deck Stand Base Accessories

Updated Review: I was recently contacted by Nq's customer service in respect to my original review - which is quite a pleasant surprise. I discussed the issue what I was having with the dock and so far it seems that it could have been just been defective. Either way, their team seems to be interested in figuring out what is going on and doing testing on their end - which means this is a company that cares about their products. Judging from this experience, I would recommend them just from their customer service alone. It's rare to find a company that cares about what they sell nowadays. Original review: I bought this dock for three reasons: 1. Clips to the Steam Deck. 2. Portable with included microSD (TF) slot. 3. Compact design fits in my JSAUX case which has a compartment in the bottom. So the pros: 1. Compact design. 2. MicroSD/TF card slot for extra storage space. 3. Kickstand is pretty solid. 4. Includes USB 3.0 ports and HDMI. Cons: 1. This thing overheats when charging, causing the Steam Deck to eject/remove the microSD card. It also flakes out the USB ports. 2. Not sure yet but the HDMI flakes out sometimes and I am fairly certain it's due to the overheating issue. 3. The transfer rate from an internal Sandisk Extreme microSD to a Samsung Evo microSD card (in the dock) is incredibly slow and the disconnects are infuriating. I love the design and look of this dock but it caused my Steam Deck to stop booting correctly, requiring a reimaging of my Steam Deck to get it working again (not sure if it was an update or overheating). I will give this thing another week of trial and possibly return it but so far I am not impressed due to the issues with the HDMI and microSD slot being flakey.

Changing my review. First one I got didn't work at all, even when plugged in. NewQ reached out and offered a replacement at no charge. I was still worried after seeing some other reviews, but it actually works really well and is exactly what I wanted. Now I have 3TB for my Deck without having to be docked. On top of that, I can wire into Ethernet with a USB 3 to Ethernet adapter and still have a USB slot open for my keyboard/mouse combo. The main thing I wanted was the SD slot though, as there's not a lot of viable options for extra portable storage without jury-rigging some stuff. From what I understand, it's more feasible to use a second SD card over an external m2. Looks like I'm getting full speed too, from the SD slot and the USB ports. Pretty awesome dock. I don't have much use for an HDMI port since I already have an actual desktop, but maybe it'd be cool to play couch co-op outside the house or something instead of having to lug a desktop around.

Wonderful way to add on extra functionality to the device and works most of the time. I can plug in one USB device, say a mouse, but the second another USB device is plugged in it drops all connection and the USB-C needs to be reconnected. Frustrating when I need to swap from using a keyboard to a flash drive, I need to juggle USB plugins to get it working properly. Charging is also hit-and-miss where the white light comes on to note charging but goes off if the cable is touched at all. Same thing with plugging in charging while devices are in the USB ports. Everything drops out and the USB-C connection needs to be reconnected. The device's shape and function are out of the way of everything and I really wish it worked without flaw. Update 5/28/23: NewQ support contacted me to try and rectify the issue, and sent me a new unit. Some small issues remain with the new unit, now when removing power during operation of the two USB slots being used, it loses connection with the devices. When plugging back in and after waiting about five seconds, it works as normal. It seems I'm experiencing the opposite of other reviewers. I will use it in it's current state, since it is less flawed than the original. I updated my review from 2 stars to 4. If it starts to mess up again I will update my review again in the future.

I bought the Rokid Max AR glasses for my steam deck. Along with a few other items I am now able to charge the Steam Deck in this dock's USB-C port while using the HDMI port and an adapter to operate the Rokid AR glasses. As a plus this dock snaps onto the Steam Deck and has a small stand. The stand doesn't work so well in my lap since it would need to be wider and I had a rubber protector on the Steam Deck that I had to cut out a spot for this dock to fit. I leave it on the Steam Deck now as it's very light and has a slim profile. I wish it had an ethernet port though I'm trying to use one of the USB ports for that purpose.

Update #2 I honestly didn't care till this point, but now because i lost a lot of progress in a game because of it I have to say something. When charging cable is removed from the dock it disconnects all the ports except the hdmi port. It really is frustrating at times because if i want to stop charging it because I'm on the go and if I'm playing a game on the SD slot the game will freeze. At this point I can't recommend this product because this is the second time i ordered this and now thos one has a new problem. Update #1 So I got a replacement because I gave it the benefit of the doubt and i can confirm that the old one was indeed defective. All the ports work without having to plug in a power source. It's very convenient and compact, only complaint i have it gets really hot when you're playing an up to date game maxed out but besides that this is a great product for external video output, more storage, dual booting or to plug in keyboard and mouse. Highly recommended. In the Q&A section it stated that the sd card slot doesn't need a power source for it to read, but on the one i bought it does need to be plugged in, well ar least the one I got. Also when you plug in the charger to the the dock after you connect the dock to the steam deck you won't get a charge, you have to unplug it from the steam deck and replug it in to get a charge. It sucks that mine might be defective because i was looking forward to using this.

This dock is easy to install, setup and use. While the sturdiness/quality leads to bit to be desired it doesn’t feel like it’ll snap in half. It runs a bit hot and sometimes the image quality is unstable so you may have to unplug it but for a cheap dock this is the best one out and it’s so portable you can use it in handle mode with your deck

This is probably the best way to design a usb hub and stand for the deck... but I have had the dodgy power connection issues and the HDMI output no longer works, I am returning the old and buying a fresh one with crossed fingers but if that one fails ill have to return it too and probably wont buy until a refresh of it or until a competitor makes a more reliable one

I bought this dock to add ports so I could use a headphone amp on the steam deck oled. Over all it did eventually work but has issues. * charging is inconsistent. Sometimes it blinks on and of over and over sometimes it charges just very slowly other times it works fine. * fit is good. * fair amount or ports. A second data usb c would have been nice and maybe an Ethernet port. * micro usb only inserts half way in and hangs out of the slot. You are just asking to accidentally press on it with your finger and snap the card in half. * kickstand works but is nothing special but it's a nice to have * usb c cable is my biggest issue with this dock it has a right angle plug and a bunch of extra cable and if you lay the deck down it won't lay flat and adds strain the the decks charging port. This was a deal breaker as I often lay it down on the couch to charge. * usb c port on the dock is pretty flimsy and will probably give out at some point in the near future Overall it does work when you can get it to charge but it's not a quality product and I question whether it till harm my deck after long term use. Will be returning
