This came across my GamingOnLinux feed, and I figured y'all might share my interest.

I'm excited for this dock release because my simple JSAUX HDMI dongle has always been a more reliable SteamDeck dock, for me, than my official SteamDeck dock.

I understand recent patches to the SteamDeck official dock may have solved many of the issues I was having.

But it's still cool to see a brand I already trust adding a targeted SteamDeck product.

I don't see whether it accounts for my habit of keeping my SteamDeck in a protective case, though.

USB-PD was very much "hammered down" in 2017. USB-PD 3.0 was introduced in 2015.

The nintendo switch came out at the cusp of the switch to USB C, and before USB PD was fully hammered down, so it uses a weird custom/old version.

This is on Nintendo for not updating the standard on newer models, incorporating the old standard to make older peripherals work, and include rock-solid overvolt.

I had one Nintendo Switch fry itself when plugged into a non-nintendo USB C connection, so I wouldn't risk it.

I learned the hard way that the switch is apparently notoriously picky about it's chargers.

Wonder if this has CEC support, that's a pretty important feature they've finally added to the Steam Dock
