The upgraded ivoler Steam Deck Docking Station is another good choice

Don't fancy buying from JSAUX and don't need the charger + extra expense of the official Steam Deck Docking Station? ivoler are another good choice.

They sent over their newer refreshed model, which has an aluminum casing compared with their original plastic one. It also now has gigabit Ethernet, with the previous model not having Ethernet at all.

The upgraded JSAUX Docking Station is great, however the Ethernet sticking out of the side really does annoy me. Here with ivoler, that's not a problem since it sits nicely at the back so I can position it around my desk or TV unit a lot easier. Honestly, that one change alone makes me like it ever so slightly more than the JSAUX offering. ivoler's choice design here just helps keep all the wires out of sight and out of mind.

Not the only major difference though. In terms of bulk, the ivoler version is slimmer and honestly just looks better but it is slightly longer but not by an amount that really makes any difference.

One other difference here and another improvement, is that the ivoler dock blocks none of the air intake on the back of the Steam Deck which JSAUX do. It's never been a problem for me with JSAUX as the intake pulls air in just fine but having the entire thing uncovered is obviously best and so ivoler wins again here.

The only downside is that some of the ports feel a bit snug, and take a little bit of pulling to disconnect some cables. Not a big problem, but worth noting.

Hard to say a whole lot about it without needlessly padding the article here. It's a Steam Deck Docking Station with a good price, good features and it just works.

I can happily recommend this one if you're after a Steam Deck Dock that works well, doesn't cost a fortune and has a good design as well.

You really can't go wrong with this and it quickly replaced the JSAUX dock on my own desk.

On pricing without discounts, it's the same as the upgraded JSAUX version at £49.99 / $49.99.
