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?

    Doesn’t the OLED need a higher watt power supply? Like 65W or something? I don’t remember the specs, but that would be something to be aware of, too.

    Edit: Nevermind, looks like they’re all 45W.

      I think the big change is the OLED has a better charger chip, particularly in that it doesn’t get crazy-hot when it’s working. The OLED may be able to charge faster than the OG just on account of the charger chip not hitting its thermal limit, but it won’t go beyond what it negotiated with the supply.
