Benazcap Docking Station for Steam Deck OLED 2023/Steam Deck 2021

Saw reviews stating this trickle charges the Steam Deck and some that mentioned no such thing like it wasnt an issue so I bought this just to see how it went. The result is that the device works perfectly, I have not noticed any trickle charging so I wonder if the reviewers who left reviews sating as such perhaps plugged their official Steam Deck charger into this hub and got those results, which makes sense as the Deck needs the 45w the official cable gives, but if you plug that into this hub which needs power as well, then add in anything you plug in like USB devices then that equates more power draw. I have a PSU which has multiple USB-C and USB-A plugs to power multiple devices and 1 of the USB-C outlets gives out 65W so i plugged this into this HUB and connected the hub to the Steam Deck and I have zero issues powering my Steam Deck so far. HDMI is working as intended on my 27" BENQ Monitor and a rando brand 13" portable Monitor, ethernet also works perfectly fine, disabled Wifi on the Deck just to make sure and out of nowhere what i did not expect was my New World game to work properly, no idea why, I have read wifi is an issue for some, perhaps the ethernet fixed that issue for me? who knows. This is pretty much the perfect HUB solution for me so far with the official one currently nowhere in sight, my only 1 gripe is that a few comments above stated that the same brand protector/case works in the stand/hub, which it does, however the metal back adds just enough bulk that the device stands up a bit too upright rather than seated back as usual. Remove the official case and the Steam Deck sits in at the expected angle. This small gripe with the viewing angle is only an issue if your trying to use the Steam Deck IN the hub, if you have HDMI plugged in and you are using a bluetooth controller then its no big deal.

Works well and does it's job properly

I recently purchased the Docking Station for Steam Deck, and it has greatly enhanced my gaming and productivity experience. This docking station offers a range of connectivity options and features that make it a must-have accessory for Steam Deck owners. Pros: Versatile Connectivity: The docking station provides multiple ports, including a 4K@60Hz HDMI 2.0 port, a Gigabit Ethernet port, and 3 USB A ports. This allows for seamless connection to external displays, wired networks, and various USB devices. Enhanced Gaming Experience: The 4K HDMI port supports high-quality video output, allowing for immersive gaming on larger screens. It enhances the visual experience and makes gaming sessions more enjoyable. Reliable Ethernet Connection: The Gigabit Ethernet port ensures a stable and fast network connection, minimizing latency and providing a smooth online gaming experience. Convenient USB Ports: The 3 USB A ports offer flexibility for connecting peripherals such as gaming controllers, keyboards, mice, and external storage devices. Easy Setup: The docking station is straightforward to set up, simply connecting it to the Steam Deck via the USB-C port. It requires no additional drivers or software installation. Cons: Limited USB-C Ports: The docking station only provides a single USB-C port, which limits the ability to connect additional USB-C devices simultaneously. Size and Portability: Due to its additional ports and functionality, the docking station is bulkier than the Steam Deck itself, which may affect its portability for some users. Overall, the Docking Station for Steam Deck is a valuable accessory for Steam Deck owners seeking enhanced connectivity and functionality. Its versatile ports, including 4K HDMI, Gigabit Ethernet, and USB A, provide seamless integration with external displays, wired networks, and various peripherals. While it has limitations in terms of USB-C ports and bulkiness, its overall performance and convenience make it a worthwhile investment for an improved gaming and productivity experience.

It does what it needs to do - supports 4k@60hz (make sure your HDMI cable is up to spec) and full speed charging. Use a 65w USB-C charger with the dock as extra peripherals/USB devices connected to the dock can draw additional power on top of the 45w needed to power the steam deck. It's not heavy but feels sturdy and it's unlikely to snap/break. The design fits the steam deck perfectly - including the back rest not interfering with the fan vent. Tips: * Once docked you'll get new "external display" settings in the deck's settings menu. Untick all the "auto" options so you can change resolution and scaling independently. * In desktop mode you can do a similar thing from the settings menu, including choosing to turn off the steam deck's internal display once docked. * If you have a bunch of RGB peripherals plugged into the dock you can download "OpenRGB" from the discover store to control them in desktop mode. I'm sure there are benefits to getting the official Valve dock but as far as I'm concerned this one works perfectly

The unit itself seems quite insubstantial for the price, however the quick charge ability, multiple connection types (usb, Ethernet etc) proves this a very viable stand, not only as a secure holding for the steam deck while it charges but sturdy enough to sit in place. I Have only used this as a charging dock and charging port which it was performed beyond expectations, it’s small and light weight enough be placed almost anywhere and ideal compatibility for my steam deck OLED

Feels slightly cheaper than the other options and weighs very little compared to the official dock but works just as well - very small for its size and offers plenty of connections and great stability of image with no input lag

It's compatible with steam deck charger works well... xbox dongles don't work you will need to bluetooth controller... 4k TVs no real issues maybe a few frames dropped but for the price no complaints 👌 hope this helps!!

works perfectly with a usb c 60w charger, keyboard mouse and ethernet port, hdmi out work perfectly, would recommend dock is sturdy and steam deck feels secure when docked.

provata con monitor, tv,mouse, tastiera, chiavette varie insomma lo consiglio di sicuro

Fait extrêmement bien le job , clavier souris sans fils , manette filaire , disque dur externe ... pas de lattence, je peux jouer sur ma TV ( 173 cm) à Hogwarts Legacy avec ma compagne, le top pour le prix vous pouvez foncer ! ( Je n' ai pas testé le port ethernet)

It's a decent quality product, price/quality expectation was low because of the low price but it's actually quite decent. It's very lightweight, but holds the deck well and doesn't seem too flimsy at all. Absolutely a recommend. I have it in use for a month now, and no issues. HDMI and power work as expected, USB port only used for charging a controller.

Excelente opción para la steam deck, gran velocidad de Internet con el ethernet

Connects my Nintendo switch to the TV without issues. No need to buy the expensive original dock.
