USB-C and Thunderbolt gear confirmed for Steam Deck

Initially failed to work with the Steam Deck at all (reported as completely non-functional), but a Valve SteamOS update released April 26th made it fully functional — video, Ethernet, and data all work now.

A personal blog documents this dock working nicely with the Steam Deck in docked mode, correctly driving a 3440x1440p ultrawide monitor and Gigabit Ethernet at rated speed.

Confirmed working via the HDMI port (video + charging). The secondary USB-C DP output on the dock does not work with the Steam Deck, since exposing a DP port there requires Thunderbolt/USB4 host support the Deck lacks.

Per community reports, this dock does NOT drive native video output on the Steam Deck — it only works through DisplayLink software mode, which requires disabling SteamOS's read-only filesystem and manually compiling kernel modules, a setup that breaks with every SteamOS update.

Listed by UGREEN's own regional store as compatible with the Steam Deck, as part of a broad list of USB-C devices — not a device-specific technical claim.

Confirmed working perfectly with the Steam Deck, though the user notes this may be specific to Desktop Mode using the X11 windowing system rather than the default Gamescope/Wayland session.

A user reports getting 2x 1440p@60Hz displays working with the Steam Deck through this dock, good for basic productivity.

A Steam Deck user reports the dock's mouse, keyboard, and headphone ports are recognized correctly, but the connected monitor shows no signs of being detected.

Reported failure: with the Steam Deck (USB 3.2 Gen 2 + DP Alt Mode, no USB4/Thunderbolt), the Anker 777 TB4 dock delivers working USB peripherals but a persistent black display — the dock fails to fall back from PCIe tunneling to DP Alt Mode routing.

Confirmed via a community-designed 3D-printed dock that integrates this exact hub for Steam Deck use, requiring a 90-degree right-angle USB-C adapter.

A user reports using this dock with the Steam Deck, getting 144Hz on a secondary monitor but only 100Hz on the primary one.

A user mentions using this dock with a Steam Deck alongside a Framework laptop, with video output working.

A user confirms this dock works with the Steam Deck, including driving two DisplayPort displays, but requires switching to Desktop Mode before connecting and letting it initialize before plugging in the USB-C cable.

Confirmed via a community-designed 3D-printed enclosure (v2 design) that converts this exact hub into a Steam Deck dock.

A user reports having used this on their Steam Deck and it works just fine, though Belkin's own support answer notes the dock has not been officially tested with Steam Deck.

A Steam Deck user names this dock specifically as their portable choice, in contrast to a JSAUX dock they keep at their desk but rarely connect.

A user reports occasional use for power and Ethernet, but describes it as "prohibitively unreliable" long-term — it works initially but drops out after intensive/sustained use, likely due to insufficient cooling.

Named directly in the product title on UGREEN's own US store: "...Compatible with Mac M1, M2, M3, iPad, iPhone 16 Pro/Pro Max, Steam Deck."

A Steam Deck user reports the external monitor shows 'HDMI no signal' when connecting through this hub in Game Mode. Switching to Desktop Mode and manually setting the monitor's refresh rate to 120Hz gets the connection working.

Confirmed via a community 3D-printed dock/stand design that mounts this exact hub (201048-BLK) to the Steam Deck for video and Ethernet output — no direct user review, but the maker effort implies working functionality.

A Steam Deck user reports the dock charges the console normally, but the monitor is never recognized — the Thunderbolt 3 controller (Alpine Ridge-class) has no fallback path to the Deck's plain USB-C/DP Alt Mode video.

A user reports the dock, which previously worked out of the box with their Steam Deck, later required DisplayLink software mode to get Alt Mode video output working again — the underlying video path is not fully native.

Listed explicitly as a supported device on Baseus's own product page, though no independent hands-on report was found to confirm real-world performance.

A user reports this dock can charge the Steam Deck while playing on a TV, though the SD card slots don't seem to work with the Deck.

A user reports regularly using this hub with the Steam Deck on different displays, alongside the official Valve dock.

The retailer's own product page notes: 'For the best experience with Steam Deck, connect it to the wall charger when using with the hub' — implying the dock alone may not reliably power the console under load.

A user names this dock among the few dual-video docks confirmed to work with their Steam Deck.

Anker's own blog names the Steam Deck explicitly, describing the hub as a way to add a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and Ethernet to the console for a desktop-style setup.

A user reports daisy-chaining this hub with other USB-C hubs and a Steam Deck OLED, with power fed through only one hub — described as "working fine" so far, though the long-term safety of this unconventional multi-hub power setup is unverified.

A Coolblue customer review confirms plug-and-play operation with the Steam Deck, without further detail on which of the dock's outputs were tested.

JSAUX lists Steam Deck support for HB1201S. Its dual-screen feature is limited to 4K@60Hz or 2K@120Hz.

Some Steam Deck LCD and OLED resolutions showed display anomalies in game and desktop modes.

HB0603S works with Steam Deck LCD and OLED. JSAUX explicitly excludes ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X.

The dock base accepts handhelds no thicker than 27mm including their protective cases.

When using Steam Deck, Anker recommends a 45W-or-higher power adapter to maintain stable video output and device functionality.

Listed by the manufacturer's own product page as a compatible device.

The manufacturer's own product page confirms Steam Deck compatibility (explicitly not compatible with Nintendo Switch), provided each connected display supports HDCP.

A user resolved intermittent HDMI resolution issues with this hub on a Steam Deck by switching to a higher-wattage USB-C power supply (65W); the underlying power supply, not the hub, was the root cause.

A user recommends this dock highly for Steam Deck use, contrasting it with the Surface Dock 2 which only works with Surface devices.

A community post lists this dock as part of a long-term stable multi-device setup that includes a Steam Deck, alongside a Surface Laptop Studio, an Intel NUC, and MacBook/Asus laptops.

A user reports the dock works with the Steam Deck including fast charging (no "slow charger" warning), Ethernet, and additional DisplayPort outputs.

An IT admin reports using this dock reliably at work and at home, including as a simple DIY portable workstation dock for their Steam Deck.

A Legion Go community post names this hub as suitable for the Steam Deck, ROG Ally, Legion Go, and MSI Claw, without device-specific technical detail.

HB0604 is made for Steam Deck and supports M.2 2280 NVMe or SATA drives. JSAUX recommends pairing the dock with the original charger for full charging.

For HB0702, JSAUX says its highest 4K@60Hz setting is achieved only on an external monitor connected over HDMI or DisplayPort.

Sabrent explicitly presents the exact DS-SDNV as a Steam Deck docking solution. Its internal M.2 bay runs at USB 3.2 Gen 1x1 speed, capped at 5Gbps.

LISEN explicitly designs this dock for Steam Deck. HDMI reaches 4K60, and its SD or TF storage function works only in Desktop Mode.

The 25869 dock supports Steam Deck. UGREEN does not recommend a wall charger below the original 45W rating for Steam Deck or Steam Deck OLED.

JSAUX lists Steam Deck LCD and OLED; connect external PD power because the dock requires it for stable video output.

Baseus explicitly lists Steam Deck for the WKSX030213 hub. Connect a USB-C Power Delivery charger for peripheral power; video output depends on the host video capabilities.

UGREEN explicitly lists Steam Deck for SKU 75028. Bandwidth, display output, and charging behavior depend on the connected USB-C host and the attached peripherals.

UGREEN explicitly lists Steam Deck; video availability still depends on the host USB-C video output and the display connection used.

Stable enough on Steam Deck that the community has designed 3D-printable dock stands specifically for this hub. Its DP Alt Mode handling supports high refresh rates, though the firmware sometimes hard-caps ultrawide monitors at 100Hz instead of the advertised 144Hz.

Demonstrated on video driving a competitive game on an external monitor at 1080p/144Hz via Steam Deck, indicating clean EDID handling.

Compatibility claim sourced from a retailer/price-comparison listing naming this exact SKU alongside Steam Deck, ROG Ally, and Legion Go; no independent community report (Reddit, forums) was found to corroborate real-world use.

Recommended in the community-maintained Steam Deck Guide on GitHub for its clean, thermally stable output. Reserves 15W internally, so using the stock 45W charger leaves less headroom for the console — a higher-wattage charger avoids the deficit.

Handles power delivery and resolution correctly, but its short-cable dongle form factor creates a cantilever on Steam Deck's top-mounted port; the community has needed 3D-printed physical supports to prevent long-term stress on the console's USB-C solder joints.

Manufacturer-confirmed driver-free compatibility. Note the dedicated 10Gbps USB-C data port is data-only — it does not carry video or charging.

A Steam Deck owner reports power delivery issues through this dock: with the stock 45W Valve charger plugged into the dock's PD port, the Deck shows a decharge notification while gaming — the dock reserves part of the input power for itself, so the host receives less than 45W under load.

A Steam Deck user reports the hub works great overall, though power delivery comes in slightly lower than expected — likely due to the hub's own power consumption.

Confirmed via a community-designed 3D-printable Steam Deck stand built specifically to be compatible with this hub.

Named on the retailer's "Stable Driver Certified" compatibility list for Steam Deck. This is a legacy design; likely capped at 4K@30Hz given the HDMI controller generation.

UGREEN's own product page describes a two-position aluminum stand fitted specifically to Steam Deck (OLED), ROG Ally (X), and Legion Go.

CalDigit support confirms it works via USB 3.2 Gen 2 fallback (single external monitor through DP Alt Mode), but the hub's 60W cap triggers a "slow charging" warning under heavy load.

Verified through the seller Q&A rather than a review: confirmed to charge through Valve's official Steam Deck dock in a daisy-chain topology, and to recover display output cleanly after sleep/wake (S3) cycles without a black screen — a common failure point for cheaper hubs on SteamOS.

Manufacturer confirms Steam Deck compatibility, with the caveat that every display link in the chain must support HDCP or the picture will not render (a SteamOS/Linux handshake quirk, not a hub defect).

Baseus identifies the WKWG080113 hub and explicitly lists Steam Deck as compatible. Its single HDMI output is limited to 4K at 30Hz.

Dockteck explicitly lists Steam Deck; the hub's USB-C PD input accepts up to 100W of external power.

A Reddit user reports this dock outputs video over HDMI to the Steam Deck, but the connection typically stops working if an additional USB peripheral (like a wireless mouse dongle) is plugged in — power draw appears to be the limiting factor.

Official Plugable documentation names this exact hardware family: "Windows and Linux based hand-held consoles like the Steam Deck, ROG Ally, and Legion Go include drivers." Linux hot-plug bug documented separately: on Pop!_OS/Ubuntu, connecting after boot or connecting the network cable late can leave the link permanently undetected or fall back to 100 Mbps until reboot.

No USB-C Power Delivery — video works but the Deck won't charge while connected.

ViewSonic explicitly lists Steam Deck for the XG272-2K-OLED HDMI inputs. The documented link is video transport through HDMI, not charging or USB-C docking.

Tested successfully in a triple-screen productivity/display setup, proving good compatibility with the dock structure of the handheld.

Arzopa lists Steam Deck for this exact Z3FC portable monitor. Use a USB-C video-capable connection and provide separate power when the selected mode requires it.

Arzopa lists Steam Deck for this exact Z1RC portable monitor. Use a USB-C video-capable connection and provide separate power when the selected mode requires it.

Steam Deck is listed by Arzopa as compatible. Use a compatible video connection and power the monitor separately when the handheld cannot supply enough through USB-C.

BenQ's own site table: "Steam Deck: 2K / 1080p 120Hz HDR."

Does not work reliably — a Reddit user reports the Live Gamer Mini does not support refresh rates above 60Hz, while the Steam Deck defaults to 90Hz.

A Reddit user confirms using the original ShadowCast to stream their Steam Deck in 1080p to a laptop.

Genki's own setup guide instructs plugging the ShadowCast 2 into the HDMI port of the Covert Dock 2 to capture a Steam Deck.

A Reddit user recommends the SeeMo to route Steam Deck video to an iOS device as a monitor.

Does not work when paired with a MacBook Pro M1 Max as the recording host — a Reddit user reports OBS is unable to recognize the capture card at all when trying to stream Steam Deck gameplay through it.

Despite the "Max" naming, the encoding silicon is unchanged from the base UHD Pro — anyone recording fast-paced Steam Deck gameplay at a consistent 60fps must manually drop the capture resolution to 1080p in the menu, since 4K is hard-capped at 30fps.

A dedicated review confirms streaming Steam Deck gameplay successfully, noting that HDCP detection had to be turned off to recognize the console's DisplayPort-over-USB-C output.

SIIG's own product listing for the CE-H3CT01-S1 names Steam Deck explicitly among its supported source devices.

The product manual/spec listing for the V308 states it can record the screen of devices including the Steam Deck.

Mixed evidence: comparison footage exists showing smooth playback with this card, but a Reddit user reports jittering/skipping frames and audio distortion when capturing their Steam Deck via HDMI and USB.

Works, but requires a manual EDID fix — the GC553 does not natively support the Steam Deck's 1280x800 resolution; a Reddit user edited and imported a custom EDID via AVerMedia's utility to get it recognized correctly.

The manufacturer explicitly recommends installing a Steam Deck-specific firmware version to maintain a stable connection with this exact device as the source.

Named as a compatible device on the official Baseus EU product listing.

Official Baseus product page explicitly lists compatible devices: "Macbook/ ROG Ally/ Laptops / Tablets /Steam Deck".

Charging and playing a Steam Deck at the same time significantly increases the time required to fully charge.

Official Baseus product page explicitly lists "Compatible Devices: Tablet, Laptop... Steam Deck". No independent third-party review found.

Official UGREEN product page explicitly lists: "Compatible with MacBook, ChromeBook, Dell, HP... Steam Deck".

Anker notes that maximum output is not achieved when temperature rises or the power bank is between 0% and 10% charge.

Confirmation found under the SKU "P63-E1" (same 100W/25000mAh spec as this SKU "B63" — likely the same physical product under a naming variant across sources).

Sufficient in isolation (140W) or using the two main ports simultaneously (70-100W each) — enough headroom above the ~45W Deck needs. Use one of the two primary USB-C ports, not the fixed-40W third port.

With all three USB ports active, total output is 163W; using only USB-C1 and USB-C2 allows up to 165W.

User review on Sharge's product page: user finds themselves using it at home specifically when using a Steam Deck.

UGREEN lists Steam Deck for this exact 100W power bank. Actual charging rate depends on the Deck power state, USB-C cable, and concurrent use.
