Amazon has a solid Prime Early Access(opens in new tab) deal on a third-party hub compatible with your Steam Deck on sale for an epic $40(opens in new tab). That may only be a ten-dollar saving, but compare it to the official Steam Deck dock, and it's truly a great budget option if you're looking for a way to connect your Steam Deck to an external display or simply use it as a Nintendo Switch-esque charging dock.
This Jsaux Steam Deck dock (HB0603) is a 6-in-1 docking station with gigabit ethernet input, three USB 3.0 ports, HDMI 2.0, and a USB Type-C charging port. It has a 4K @ 60Hz signal output, so if you have a 4K monitor or TV, you can turn your Steam Deck into a better Nintendo Switch(opens in new tab).
There isn't much difference between this Jsaux Dock and the $90 official Steam Dock(opens in new tab). However, the Steam Deck Dock does have three USB 3.1 ports instead of Jsaux's limited trio of USB 3.0 ports, and it's got a DisplayPort in addition to its HDMI 2.0 port.
