GuliKit reveal SNES styled dock for Steam Deck and other handhelds

Still in the market for a dock for your Steam Deck or whatever other handheld you have? At Gamescom, GuliKit revealed a pretty slick looking SNES styled retro dock for you.

Dock is styled after the SNES, and includes the following ports:

  • USB-C Out
  • USB-C In
  • 3 x USB 3.0
  • 1 x HDMI out
  • Gigabit Ethernet

It comes with a cover that clips over the slot to complete the mini-SNES illusion, and the cover has storage on the underside for storing 4 microSD cards.

Overall pretty cool dock, I already have a decent 3rd party dock, but this one is very tempting for aesthetic reasons.

    All I ask is CAN THE DOCK FUCKING WORKS?

    I have the official deck dock and when you put the deck to sleep and wake up you can face :

    • borked hdmi output requiring removing power and plugging back to fix it
    • this will sometimes cause the graphical driver to outright crash requiring a hard reboot of the deck
    • after time without removing power and plugging back, the audio will become desynced and would need to power down and back up the dock.

      I haven’t noticed most of those issues since upgrading to SteamOS 3.5, so I think fixes are incoming.

      Unfortunately 3.5 has an equally annoying bug where the steam overlay and QAM overlay sometimes stop opening when a Bluetooth controller is connected. Swapping games or changing QAM settings will require turning the extra controller off and using the deck’s built in controls instead. Not sure if USB controllers are effected, I should probably check those next.

      I don’t have the official dock, but I do have the Jsaux dock. Maybe I’m lucky but I haven’t had any of these issues, the worst I had was audio came out of the Deck rather than TV after I put the deck to sleep, docked, then woke it. But a quick setting change and back to normal.

      omg I also have the official dock and it has also given me tons of problems. I’m glad to not be alone.
