The UGREEN Steam Deck Dock 9-in-1 is a docking station that doubles as a foldable stand for a handheld gaming PC. Nine connections sit on it, including 4K HDMI at 60Hz, Gigabit Ethernet, four USB ports, and full-size SD and microSD card slots. A short USB-C cable connects the dock to your Steam Deck, ROG Ally, or Legion Go. Power passthrough handles up to 100W, so the handheld charges while you play on a TV. The stand folds down to pocket size when you’re finished.

A sturdy and reliable dock for your Steam Deck when not used handheld

Docking your handheld switches the built-in screen to whatever display you connect to. Your games and save files stay exactly as they were. The stand has two collapsible sections rather than one, and the second section keeps the back of the console from resting on the surface, which leaves enough clearance for the rear exhaust vent. Handheld units get very warm when being used with a TV or computer monitor, since they draw power and push a video signal at the same time. A blocked exhaust vent makes this condition even worse.

The HDMI port has three video output options. 4K at 60Hz is the standard, with 2K at 144Hz and 1080p at 120Hz also supported. So a high-refresh-rate gaming monitor will be used correctly rather than being limited to 60Hz. Lower combinations like 4K at 30Hz or 2K at 60Hz can still be selected as well.
