Valve Steam Deck Docking Station (2022)

Valve's official Steam Deck dock connects to the handheld over a captive USB-C cable and turns it into a desktop setup with wired video, networking, and USB. It provides one HDMI 2.0 and one DisplayPort 1.4 output (up to 4K@60Hz or 1440p@120Hz, with DisplayPort MST for two displays), a Gigabit Ethernet jack, and three USB-A 3.1 Gen 1 ports. A separate USB-C port takes the Deck's power adapter for passthrough charging while docked. There is no bundled power brick — you use the Deck's own 45W charger.
