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?

    You do have a point. I agree with you in that one. I’m looking more for something with portability, so the one you posted seems like a good option. Since I don’t need a bulky dock like the official version or the other ones around.

      Anker 332 USB-C Hub (5-in-1) with 4K HDMI Display, 5Gbps - and 2 5Gbps USB-A Data Ports and for MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, Dell XPS, Lenovo Thinkpad, HP Laptops and More https://a.co/d/0GivPgb

      Just got this one and it’s TINY. I have the other one that the guy above posted and I needed a second one so I got this because sale. If you don’t need external SD card support then this one is great.

      They are both great by the way but this one again, is super dupes portable.

      Edit: yeah no Ethernet but I don’t need that when traveling because I’m usually not in a situation where there even is one available.

        This is a good one. If it works with the oled version then I’m very likely buying this one.

          It does. I’ve tested it with both versions (I have OLED my brother has my old LCD) and I’ve tested it on two PCs and a Mac. Works great on all of them.

            Good. It also can be found in amazon.nl for shipping to the Netherlands. Good. This one is it going to be. Thanks for the recommendation. Now I need a portable keyboard and a mouse. And the setup for my backup PC is done.
