Best dock for the Steam Deck? (And other accessories)
Hey everyone! I just got a deck and am looking to get a bunch of accessories, the main one being a dock. The Deck really intrigued me as a all-in-one device for both gaming and software development on the go.
Looking at FlatHub, it looks like pretty much all of the software that I use in my workflow is available (Rider, Webstorm, Postman, GitKraken, etc), even some hobby software that I use like PrusaSlicer! Pretty much all of the other command-line tools I would need can be installed with Homebrew as well without worrying about the read-only partition being overwritten.
So the final frontier for me will be the hardware. First and foremost, I'm looking for a good docking station that can support two simultaneous external 1440P displays. I would prefer to be able to use dual DisplayPort connections, but if there's nothing of good quality on the market then I'm fine with using a DP + HDMI setup.
Additionally, I'm also looking to max out the capabilities of the deck with regards to battery life, performance, and storage. What would be really cool would be if there were some kind of Battery + SSD mount that would strap onto the back of the deck.
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
OEM dock has both DP + HDMI. I am able to drive two external two external 1440p displays. Compiling directly on the deck can take longer than on beefier HW, but you probably already know that.
