I just ordered a refurbished steam deck :D

Because of all the great reviews still, long after launch and because i’m very enthousiastic about being able to use it as both a handheld console on the train and as a full blown desktop at home. I’ve honestly long been waiting for such devices… And wonder why android phones still don’t really do that.

Now, regarding the docking station: the official one is quite pricey.

It does not matter at all that the charging of the dock is rated at 60W, which is more than the steam deck needs, right?

Would this thing do the trick? I’l need to connect 1 usb dongle for mouse and keyboard in the usb 2 port, 1 hdmi to screen, 1 usb 3 to external harddisk and then the charging. SD is nice to have, don’t really need it. I don’t care that the deck will be laying flat on a desk instead of being able to use it standing up as a tiny second screen.
