On top of that, it is really tiny so i just throw it on my backup and go. The secret i found was that it might have an hdmi cable to connect to your laptop (or whatever you might be connecting to it) but you won’t get audio unless you have an extra aux cord or an adapter. Essentially, I DO recommend this as a cheap Steam Deck Dock alternative, but know that it may not work 100% out of the box without some tinkering.Finally, though I have not tested this or had any issues with it, some users claim this does *NOT* support the full amount of power input that it claims in the listing. It just didn't seem to recognize that there even *was* a device plugged into it until I flipped a bunch of settings around. I am not sure if it is an issue with this product or the Steam Deck, but it took nearly an hour of poking around in the audio/visual settings for the Steam Deck to output audio along with the video over HDMI through this device. Also, I haven't noticed this myself, but beware that some reviewers have noted that it may not actually support all 3 USB ports being used at the same time if they require much power draw to function.My main issue with this product is its compatibility with Steam Deck it DOES work, as I have since managed to troubleshoot my way into it being an excellent portable dock with no lasting issues since, but the initial setup and troubleshoot process is rough. It's a trade off the manufacturer appears to have made for the sake of the overall size of the device. I can plug in my keyboard, mouse, and maybe another peripheral with little issue, but if you need something like a USB drive along with your keyboard and mouse, that USB stick is probably not going to fit unless it is extremely low profile.

That said, it isn't without some quirks that, while easy enough to work with, are still a pain out of the box.First, the USB ports are wayyy too close together. It's super compact (like, fits in my pocket), has two slots for both an SD and MicroSD card (though I think only one works at a time), and has 3 USB ports in addition to outputting 1080p HDMI video. So, for the price, this thing really is hard to beat.
