Docking Station for Steam Deck, ivoler 5-in-1 Steam Deck

Great all round dock but to be able to use a flash drive in the usb ports you need to use a charger with a higher power than the steam deck charger else they won’t work

Has everything the average Steam Deck user would want in a dock minus an ethernet port. Ideal if you’re using it in a living room or the same room as your router. No issues with the dock itself, but do keep in the mind that the Deck’s software is still finicky at times with docked support and Valve are constantly improving it.

This is for my son’s Steam deck but he seems happy with it on all points, my interaction is based around a technical query with their customer services who proved to respond very quickly and effectively.

perfectly fine in docked mode never loses power when charging no issues connected my external capture device perfectly so far so good several months later….

Initially I assumed this deck was larger than it actually was, wider in fact. I was wrong and boy, am I glad that I was.
The dock fits in anywhere I have a little room, and it’s amazing. I can connect it to a TV or monitor if I wanted to, but I can also use it a kick stand with built-in USB ports for quick, easy gaming.

I had an issue at the beginning, and that was the HDMI audio source not being recognised by my Deck. I managed to fix that issue by disabling and re-enabling the audio driver in Device Manager (I use windows) and now it work brilliantly.

It may support 4K but that’s not for the Deck, which will not run 4K well at all.

Overall, extremely impressed. Great dock!

good dock, just wish I had noticed it does not have an RJ45 ethernet connection.

Mir wre noch nichts schlechtes aufgefallen, alles funktioniert bestens. Und es kostet nicht mal ein Drittel der originalen Station – da kann ich nur 5 Sterne geben.

It works great, not sure why I am complaining about the material since I never handle it, but it does seem a little cheaply made. It just feels really light and cheap. Otherwise, it’s fantastic for playing Steam Deck on my TV.

I know the valve version comes with another charger and has better hdmi, and ethernet.. but I do not know, none of that makes a difference for me and probably most people, I have no issues with 1080p / 1440p really, and not sure I will ever go 4k.

Also if I was going to get another charger it would be something with multiple ports and higher W that allows me to use my own cables like an anker 543 I guess ? That way I would still be saving 20 and not have the issues that people here are suffering from when using usb devices that take power away from the deck, lol… I am sorry to say that the official deck will not solve that, and it is not a fault with this dock in any single way.

I bought a second charger (65W) so I don’t have to constantly plug and unplug the original one when I’m taking the Steam Deck out, also to avoid possible charging issues. Don’t mind the lack of Ethernet port as I don’t have Gigabit nor a wire close by to begin with, 5G is good enough for me. Folks complaining about 4K being 30hz or something on this dock, wouldn’t know about that, I’m just running it at 720p, which really is the optimal resolution to get the best performance out of the Steam Deck, and looks just fine on my 1080P TV. Only negative thing I would say is that the Deck fits a bit too loosely on it, good thing because you can take it in and out effortlessly, but bad because it feels like it would easily tip over if you pushed it, but you should be fine as long as you don’t have little kids or pets around. Also, when putting it into position there’s no guides or anything, so take care not to cover the vents on the back of the Deck, there’s enough clearance on the dock for them, but it’s possible to slightly cover one of them and not notice if you’re a bit off center.

Works as a docking station nicely. I did get some lag on my monitor but not sure where that problem lies. 4 stars as I haven’t had much time to test properly. I do think it’s overpriced for what it does

Due to the cheap price it does not come with a power supply but pairs with the original steam charger perfectly. The dock blocks none of the air intake on the back. If you have a rugged case applied, the deck still fits nicely and comfortably.

This stand works great. It doesn’t scratch the screen or cause any problems with that. The USB-C cable easily attached to the steam deck. The deck does not come with a charger, so you will want to purchase a separate charging block and cable. Make sure that the charger is 45W and 65W. I choose the later so that I have no issues with running this and streaming to my monitor.

Got this on sale for about 30 dollars, and I don’t think you can beat the price. It connects quickly, charges the deck fine, and all the USB ports work as expected. The only issue I have had is more with my setup then the dock. I have a 4 way HDMI splitter and for some reason the dock will not output a 4k signal through the switcher even though the switcher is 4k 60 and works with everything else. I almost returned the dock because I was getting black screen, but once I forced a 1080 resolution everything worked fine. Steam OS has had some major updates in the last few weeks that has made the docking experience ALMOST console like.

Very good dock, works very nice and has an easy setup. Can’t complain when it works.

That being said, be very careful with what you plug into the dock to power it up. It doesn’t mention it on the store page, but on the bottom of the product it says max 60W. I’ve found that a 50W charger was too much, so only use the original steam charger cable with this or it will stop working entirely.

I am pleasantly surprised by the quality of this product. The material it was made of feels very nice and solid. The Steam Deck fits inside perfectly even with the protective TPU case. Since I’m still using the old Xbox 360 controllers, I’ve tried to connect the PC receiver and it worked right of the bat. Did some testing with my 4K TV and everything looks good, the default gaming interface scales automatically, you can play games pretty much like on a console and when switched to the desktop mode it treats tv like a second monitor, so watching your favourite shows when you don’t have the set-top box have never been easier. For my use case it’s perfect, definitely can recommend.

Fairly good dock, but note it’s only hdmi 1.4, and only has usb connectors. Would love to see a more Pro version with Hdmi 2, and maybe some extra ports including more USB-C ones, an Ethernet port, and potentially an SD-card reader as well
