The GaN ones are if you care about size and power. Their dock is basically a high quality laptop dock, and priced equivalently, plus it’s custom shaped to hold the deck.
For a deck that’s just sitting there plugged in all the time yeah not a big deal / worth it.
When I got mine originally (pre ordered like 2 days in so I got mine 6 months after launch lol) I was doing a TON of travel and it replaced my switch
It then sat mostly unused for almost 2 years because I never gamed away from home and fuck paying for their dock
Finally got the JSAUX dock a couple weeks back and now it’s almost fully replaced our entire main TV entertainment center
Me hooking up my PC to the TV. 🤮
Me using Steam Deck to play on my TV. 🤩
So fuck paying for the official deck, but … unfuck? paying for a 3rd party one? I don’t get it
The official one is more expensive
It comes with a 65W USB-C power brick, the same that comes with the Deck.
The 3rd party ones don’t.
Hold up, I did not receive a charger with mine
The official one definitely should come with one, it says so on the product page - and mine did
Nevermind, found it… Thanks for reminding me :)
The third party one I got is 25 bucks
The official one is 80
No power brick is worth $55
