Everything on the Steam Deck LCD goes through one USB-C port on the top edge: 10Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2, DisplayPort 1.4 Alt Mode up to 4K at 120Hz, and 45W USB PD charging. A USB-C hub or the Steam Deck Dock splits that into power, HDMI, USB-A and Ethernet at once. The microSD slot is UHS-I, so expect about 100MB/s, and plugging a headset into the 3.5mm jack switches off the internal mic. There's no Thunderbolt or USB4, so no eGPU. Below is every port and its cable.
Handheld PC gaming console running SteamOS 3. USB-C port supports DisplayPort 1.4 Alt Mode for external displays up to 8K@60Hz or 4K@120Hz, USB 3.2 Gen 2 data transfer at 10Gbps, and 45W USB PD 3.0 charging. Compatible with official Steam Deck Dock and third-party USB-C hubs for HDMI/DisplayPort video output, USB peripherals, and Ethernet.
