    Honestly, $95 for a dock is still pretty pricey for me. Months back I bought a cheaper $35 dock from Amazon and it’s very good.

      I agree with you, but remember the official dock also comes with a second power adapter so that ads to the cost.

      The official dock has each of its ports fully fleshed out. These cheapie docks do things like connect the ethernet port to USB 2.0, use a “4K, but only at 30hz” HDMI spec, etc. You also get firmware updates from Valve.

        As much as i want their efforts to get supported, the dock might be worth the price, but you don’t really get much for the price of the dock in comparison with a mid-tier for example Ugreen dock.

        UGREEN USB C Hub 7 in 1 USB C adapter with 4K 60Hz HDMI, Gigabit Ethernet RJ45, 100W PD, SD&microSD, 2 USB A 5Gbps 40€ now. 4k 60p might be good for media playback if that’s a usecase, otherwise you will find yourself in 720p or 1080p in some exceptions.
