Best Steam Deck Dock 2023
The Steam Deck is one of the most powerful portable gaming consoles out there. In short, it’s a killer handheld. While it’s powerful enough to play games like Red Dead Redemption 2 and Stray on-the-go in a compact and portable device, sometimes you want to play immersive games like Eldren Ring and God of War on a screen that’s bigger than seven-inches. And unlike the Nintendo Switch, another powerful gaming handheld, the Steam Deck doesn’t come with a docking station to play games on a big screen 4K TV or gaming monitor.
However, there are loads of third-party docks that are specifically designed for the Steam Deck. Although Steam does have an official docking station for their handheld, it’s expensive and takes up to two weeks for delivery. We rounded up the best Steam Deck docks for a variety of gaming situations and preferences, number of ports, and budgets. And best of all? These docking stations are all less expensive than the Steam Deck Docking Station and will ship to you in a matter of days (and in some cases, just one day for delivery).

Our all-around favorite Steam Deck dock is the JSAUX Docking Station HB0603 thanks to its large number of ports and 100-watts of power for fast charging, all packed into a lightweight and compact design. It features three USB 2.0 ports for peripherals like a keyboard and mouse, one USB-C port for the Steam Deck itself, one 4K-capable HDMI 2.0 port to hook up to a TV or monitor, and one Ethernet port for an ultra-fast internet connection. The dock also serves as a sleek stand, so you can have your Steam Deck posted up next to your TV without creating additional clutter.
