Anker Offloads Steam Deck Docking Station at Its Lowest Price, Works With Asus ROG Ally, Lenovo Legion Go, and More

The Anker Steam Deck Dock turns a handheld gaming PC into something closer to a desktop. Plug the Steam Deck into the dock’s short built-in USB-C cable, connect a TV or monitor via HDMI, and the system runs on the big screen with a wired controller, a keyboard, and a wired internet connection all attached. It also charges the Deck simultaneously via a separate PD-in port, so the handheld doesn’t drain while it’s connected. The dock works with the Steam Deck, Steam Deck OLED, ROG Ally, and Legion Go, though Anker notes it isn’t compatible with the ROG Ally X due to that model’s larger body.

The dock outputs in up to 4K at 60Hz. Handheld PCs aren’t going to be able to output most modern games that high, but it’s great if you want to use it as a media player on the go or for less demanding games and apps.

The wired Ethernet port pulls online play off Wi-Fi and onto a 1Gbps connection. For multiplayer titles or large game downloads via Steam, a wired connection is noticeably more stable and faster than a wireless one, especially on a network with many other devices competing for bandwidth.
