Our pick

Syntech 6-in-1 Steam Deck Docking Station

Choose the Syntech 6-in-1 for a compatible Steam Deck or ROG Ally X setup that needs gigabit Ethernet and three USB-A connections.123

Why this one

  • Its gigabit Ethernet port has a higher link-speed ceiling than the JSAUX dock's 100 Mbps port; download speed still depends on your network.24
  • Its three USB-A ports provide connections for a keyboard, mouse and controller, compared with two on the JSAUX.35
