SteamDock Pro not only has all of the features of the official dock at a much lower price point, but it actually has more features than the official one. Now I have the PS5 set up in my living room, the official Steam Deck dock in my bedroom, the PS4 in my basement, and the Skull & Co SteamDock Pro in my office. With that goal in mind I thought “neat” and jumped at the opportunity to add the Skull & Co SteamDock Pro to my collection. It’s the only way that I can get those little digital trophies that give me just enough of a dopamine boost to keep me going-even if it’s just for a little while. But hey, I have a living room a bedroom a basement and an office that all need access to my Steam Deck so I can stream my PS5 anywhere. It did not take long for buyer’s remorse to set in when I found out that Skull & Co, the company responsible for many of the best third party Nintendo Switch accessories, came out with their own Pro version of the Steam Deck Dock and set the price at only $34, over 2.5 times cheaper than the official Dock. But we’re not here to talk about the Official Steam Deck Dock. $89 for a simple USB-C dock with 2 USB ports, an ethernet port, a DisplayPort, and an HDMI port? Not to mention the Well, I mean I guess it’s cheaper than buying a whole new console, so I went ahead and purchased it. Amazingly, I would be able to connect my Steam Deck to any monitor via HDMI and steam my PS5 from anywhere in the house without having to worry about battery life or hand cramps! All at the low, low cost of… $89? Wait, that can’t be right.


It’s a very serious first world problem that I simply needed a solution to. Having only one PS5 connected to only one TV in the house, I enjoy being able to play all of my games remotely via the Steam Deck while the TV is otherwise in use.īut sometimes I want to play on the big screen even though the main TV is in use. While I love being able to play PC games on the go and emulating tons of retro and even more modern consoles, I primarily use the Steam Deck to stream PS5 games via Chiaki.

I absolutely adore the Steam Deck, its power and portability single handedly revived my love of video games that was taking a steep in decline in recent years.
