Joining the Steam 20 year celebration, the Steam Deck and Docking Station are now discounted across all three models when buying brand new from Valve.

    I got the basic version during the last sale and put in a 2tb ssd, works freaking amazing

      My experience with the official dock has been quite negative, it would sometimes not work until the power cable is unplugged and then plugged back - that is with all the latest stable updates for everything. Other people on Steam forums run into this issue too.

      I’ve noticed the issue too late for a simple refund process and their support was not cooperative at all.

      I recommend looking at other docks instead, will cost you less and work better.

        I already have several others but wanted the officoal one since it has DisplayPort. Hopefully I don't run into the same issues, but I know now there are third party options with it as well.
