Around the back are several inputs which consist of a 65W USB Type-C charging port, which is faster than the 45W Steam Deck port. Video game accessories company iVoler today announced a Pro version of its Steam Deck docking station. Underneath the Iron Man-esque paint job is an aluminium body that feels pretty sturdy, providing a premium feel that's harder to achieve with plastic. She plays across all platforms, and specializes in titles like Pokemon, Assassin's Creed, The Sims, and more. Not that it made a blind bit of difference anyway, as testing God of War running at 1440p on its original graphics settings is nigh-on unplayable, garnering a minuscule average of 15fps.
Sorry I don't understand the purpose of this product, since the hardware of a Steam Deck is very limited and is easily matched by a Laptop computer. Valve, I fear you’re now just too late to capitalise on the Dock market, unless your Dock is going to do something spectacularly different to those hitting the market right now, I’m not sure it’s worth the time and effort to market one quite frankly. Heat Dissipation: With vents on the top of the stand and design of the stand does not cover the back of the steam deck and facilitates heat dissipation. I'm docking my Switch, because I don't want to play my Switch games on a small screen, but they aren't available elsewhere.But, if I had the same configuration settings open on the Steam Deck, the maximum refresh rate I could select for the external screen was 120Hz. The choice of material for this specific variant is aluminium, and feels incredibly sturdy and really quite premium. iVoler’s dock is also a budget-friendly 6-in-1 docking station option that combines a USB hub and kickstand together.
You pop your Steam Deck in place, plug it in, and then either leave it to charge or play away on an external monitor. Compatible with Valve Steam Deck handheld gaming device, the dock provides an immediate solution for users who have been shut out by Valve indefinitely delaying their own proprietary docking station due to production issues.For a device made for Steam Deck, I would expect it to have Gen 2 (10 Gbps) downstream ports; and probably one of them should be type C. This is handy when you need desktop mode on the Deck and, if attached to a larger monitor, makes using the Steam Deck a much more pleasurable experience. So iVoler reached out to send me their first generation dock a few months back, and it was pretty decent - its plastic build fit the deck like a glove, the three USB ports were super handy and the included USB-C cable for charging was perfectly sized. There's a lip to stop it from sliding forward, and it blends in well with the Steam Deck itself thanks to its similar color scheme. My (now kind of old) pc has two screens, so i could make use of the display port output (that is: replace my pc).
With a foldable and lightweight body, the iVoler magnetic stand is made using sturdy aluminium alloy, has an anti-clip holding mechanism, and is equipped with silicone pads to avoid scratches. Making the dock a stand as well is a brilliant touch from other USB-C hubs that are available on the market for the likes of MacBooks and other tech. The dock offers 4K gaming at 30Hz and, as a test, Horizon Zero Dawn certainly looked and played well on a Panasonic 50in 4K TV.
But do you know a lot of people having a gaming computer, a Steam Deck, and no laptop to work on, so they use their Steam Deck instead ? Really happy with the dock, it is made of decent materials and feels sturdy when putting the steam deck in place, the rubberised material on the metal where the steam deck is placed is also a nice touch to protect it from scratches. We tested the games across all screens and with both inputs to ensure that there was no lag detected. This makes it a very affordable alterative to many other docks, including standard USB-C hubs that you could use instead. However, when I hopped over to a game of Hollow Knight using the same settings; 720p, 120Hz refresh rate, my monitor as an extension of the Steam Deck screen, I was hitting over 200FPS.
Great Deal
