Steam Deck is a PC consolidated that Valve launched this 2022 and that it continues to succeed among players because, as in the case of Nintendo Switch, mixes the best of desktop computers and the possibility of enjoying on the go of the same versions of the most recent titles. something that is essential for gamers who, for whatever reason, have just enough time to sit in front of the monitor every day and continue their game on Elden Ringfor example.
all well placed
Now, why in the case of Steam Deck do we need a docking station? Well, for two more than obvious reasons: on the one hand because that way we can have it well placed vertically on a table while it is charging and, on the other, because we managed to keep her hooked up to a tv to play (with an external gamepad) thanks to the many outputs that these peripherals usually bring.
so at that point you will have to choose if you want only a model that holds the console vertically or you want extra benefits that, in some docking station They come to include microSD card slots where more games can be stored for desktop mode connected to an external monitor.
Be that as it may, here we bring you three alternatives that are just as effective that docking station Original from Valve and, above all, cheaper. What do you prefer the official solution? Well, remember that you have it on Steam. We are only going to recommend options that do not exceed 50 euros. These are:
FOLODA Docking Station
This model comes with three USB-A connectors on the back, another USB-C for the Steam Deck charger (the official one from Valve) for a maximum of 100W, an HDMI output for the monitor or Smart TV capable of playing 4K images at 60 frames per second, and a useful Ethernet port to accelerate the download speed of games. It has very good ratings among users who have bought it and, if you take it now, it will arrive before Christmas.
JSAUX Docking Station
JSAUX is probably the one with the best stop in terms of models of docking station from Steam Deck, for the ratings it has received and for being a company that supported the Valve console from the beginning. This model is practically like the previous one, with three USB-A, one USB-C and one HDMI connectors capable of 4K transmission at 60 frames per second. On the side it has the RJ-45 connector for network wired and it has that characteristic T-shaped cable to plug it into the machine, so that it fits well.
Mcbazel Docking Station
We have included this model because It’s a little cheaper than the other two., offers practically the same features and only differs by where the Ethernet port is located, which does not appear on one of the sides but on the back, right next to the HDMI. For the rest, it also has three USB-A and one USB-C for charging, as well as the ability to transmit 4K images to the monitor or Smart TV.
