Docking Station for Steam Deck/ROG Ally/Legion Go/MSI Claw, 6-in-1 Steam Deck Dock with HDMI 4K@60Hz, 3 USB-A 3.0, Gigabit Ethernet, 100W PD Fast Charging USB-C Port Compatible with Stream Deck OLED

I wasn't expecting too much from this. I thought of it as another cute little dock trying not to take up space on my seemingly shrinking TV stand. I took out the Switch dock I have and plugged this in with the official cord. It plugged, charged, and showed my Steam Deck on the TV just fine. It also worked with my streaming setup and is small and light. The controller recognition is pretty clean and seamless. It doesn't have an invasive design and shows off the sleek style of the Steam Deck. The big bonus? It works with a Nintendo Switch AND the OLED Nintendo Switch. It is a little awkward but after you flip your Switch upside-down, the cord reaches over without any strain. The dock recognizes the Nintendo controllers (I have a pro controller and a USB GameCube controller I like using) and I haven't had any problems with it connecting like the official Nintendo docks. There are more ports in the back than what I honestly need, so they are now connected to a small phone-charging station and a controller charging station. Really happy with this, and highly recommend it for the gamer in your life!

I got this docking port specifically because the description says it works with the Legion Go as well as the Steam Deck.And that's technically true (the best kind of true!), from a certain point of view.If you plug it into your Legion Go, you can indeed connect things to it, like mice or keyboards or monitors or whatever, and yes, it will indeed work.However, if you expect it to work the way you might think a dock works, get used to disappointment.Yes, the Legion Go will fit in the dock; the opening is the right size. The problem is the cable, which is just a few millimeters too short to reach either the top or bottom USB-C ports, even if you slide the dock all the way over to one side. So claiming it works with a Go is kind of correct, in a sort of shady "yes, it plugs in and acts like a USB hub," but that's what it is if you have a Go: a hub, not a dock.Now, it's not a bad hub. It's well built from solid metal. It has a good assortment of ports.But the whole point of a dock is that the device fits into the dock, and so to my mind if you're advertising it for Steam Deck and Legion Go, it should fit a Steam Deck and a Legion Go. (Full disclosure, I don't have a Steam Deck, so I didn't test with one.)And it would've been so easy. Just make the cable 6mm longer and Bob's your uncle. In the effort to save the one-tenth of a penny on the length of the cable, they made a dock that is advertised as working with a Legion Go, not fit a Legion Go.I considered knocking off two stars for that misleading claim, but I suspect most people will probably use it for a Steam Deck, and the Go has a built-in kickstand so it's not like you can't use it as a plain old fashioned hub with a Go.Obi-Wan Kenobi would be proud of the marketing copy.

The JEPANOR Steam Deck docking station is advertised as compatible with the ROG Ally, MSI Claw, and Lenovo Legion Go. While I can’t verify its performance with the first two products, I can say that the term “compatibility” is used very loosely in reference to the Go. The docking station does work, but whether it’s worth your purchase will ultimately depend on which system you intend to use it with and how it compares in price to similar options.To elaborate, the docking station performs adequately aside from its limited compatibility with the Go. It outputs games at the promised 4K resolution and 60Hz, which is a plus. Additionally, its three USB ports allowed me to connect a keyboard, mouse, and controller, all with 2.4GHz wireless dongles, without any issues. Once I figured out how to connect my Go, the only problem I encountered was related to VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) when enabled on my TV. It seems that either the dock or the Go, I’m not entirely sure, doesn’t work well when outputting to a VRR-enabled monitor. Before I identified the source of the issue, I experienced random black screens. However, after disabling VRR, I faced no further problems.Regarding the aforementioned limited compatibility with the Go, one of the reasons for my rating is that, despite being advertised as compatible, the cord on the dock is too short to safely reach the inputs on the Go. If you wanted to risk damaging either your Go or the dock, you could try stretching the cord and maneuvering the Go into place, but that is certainly not an acceptable level of compatibility to me. I ended up ordering a 6-inch USB-C extension cord to make it work, but I truly believe, given how the product is marketed, that this shouldn’t be necessary.Another reason for my lower rating is the lack of concern for the safety of your device's screen when docked. While I appreciate the metal construction, there is no lining or padding between the metal and your screen, which consequently requires extra care when inserting or removing your device. This will likely be an issue for all "compatible" devices and should be a consideration for anyone, given the significant investment required to acquire them.If you have a Steam Deck, your experience with this dock will be different, so take my review with that in mind. However, for users of other devices, especially the Go, I would recommend looking elsewhere. Unless you find this dock at a significant discount and don’t mind ordering an additional cord to make it work, it’s simply not worth the hassle.

The product arrives as the product page shows, the dock with the attached USBC port to attach into the deck itself. There is no power source to plug into the deck, as the product page refers to using the original power source. So you'll need a proper power source. I leveraged a 100W power source with USBC port to plug it in. Comparing this docking station to the Steam docking station, the only thing missing is the display port. So if you plan to plug into a TV, make sure you have a HDMI port available.Beyond that, product worked for me as designed, and it is $55 cheaper than original; although an argument could be made for the need to purchase a power source which reduces that savings.

Plugged the steam deck power supply into the dock, and the steam deck into the dock, no power.The dock itself lights up but the steam deck does not charge.
