The dock itself is constructed from metal and the channel for the Deck is wide enough so that it's held securely at a slight angle. You can use all ports at the same time with no detriment to the Steam Deck's performance. The cheaper version probably isn't worth a saving of only $10, but this one has a trio of USB 3.0 connections, HDMI 2.0, and Ethernet alongside the USB-C PD that you can hook up your regular Steam Deck power adapter to. All the cable mess can be fed the same way, away from the dock, and the included right-angled USB-C cable is just long enough to fit securely, and neatly. Even so, with a cable in every connector, this is a tidy little dock.


The only outlier is the gigabit Ethernet which resides on the side. The expansion ports are almost exclusively on the rear, where you'd want to find them.
