Official Steam Deck Dock and JSAUX Dock (HB0603) Review

Ойындар

Today I compare the official steam deck dock with the JSAUX Dock rev 2 (HB0603). I'll go over how close the experience is compared to docking with a Nintendo Switch, productivity in desktop mode, and benchmarks to test the usb 3.0 and ethernet ports.
All the music is composed by me.

Not mentioned in the video but I really like these USB chargers for $18. It does 60w PD over usb-c so plenty for the deck. It also has 3 more usb-a ports for charging your phone or whatever else. I have 3 of them and velcro one to the top of each of my computer desks.

UPDATE: 1/9/2023
I ended up picking up an iVoler dock. In my testing and how I had it setup it interfered with my xbox one bluetooth controller. It showed erratic controller behavior every minute or so where the other 2 docks worked perfectly fine. So I am returning it. I do NOT recommend the iVoler dock.

    Great comparison and also nice to know about fit with a case installed - sadly kind of a deal breaker for the official dock.

    I'm going to post a bit of compelling info for going with the Jsaux dock, if you wish to attach a external SSD and run windows 10 or 11 you will need the 100watts of power the Jsaux dock gives you or it will not output enough power to run the external drive in USB 3

    Hello, I am having issues with this model. I have downloaded the firmware update but I'm still experiencing the screen flashing black at times, sometimes often - it's very annoying. Is there any way to fix this?

    Hello, does the Firmware only work for the HB0602? i have the Docking Station for Steam Deck HB0702

    HB0702 is not listed anywhere on the site or the readme so I would guess no. It probably doesn't need an updated since HB0702 is a very new model.

    This is why I only use consoles these days. You have to plug in an hdmi wire and configure things to get it to work? I did play with my friends and it is cool but I will take the switch any day. Great review!

    You aren't wrong. To get the best performance out of AAA games like God of War takes some tweaking. I personally don't mind it so much and really enjoy the flexibility but it definitely isn't nearly as streamlined and focused as a true console experience.

    @@arogantech when I had more time in my life I loved tweaking everything. Alas these are the days I just want things to work. A large part of my professional life was spent making devices connected to the Linux Desktop just work without driver installs or terminal commands. They could have at least put the plug on the bottom so it seats into a dock. I wonder if Nintendo has a patent on that.

    just when you start games always play at the lowest graphics/display settings , this usually the default for most pc games.
