Fits nicely and works well
I bought the Rokid Max AR glasses for my steam deck. Along with a few other items I am now able to charge the Steam Deck in this dock's USB-C port while using the HDMI port and an adapter to operate the Rokid AR glasses. As a plus this dock snaps onto the Steam Deck and has a small stand. The stand doesn't work so well in my lap since it would need to be wider and I had a rubber protector on the Steam Deck that I had to cut out a spot for this dock to fit. I leave it on the Steam Deck now as it's very light and has a slim profile. I wish it had an ethernet port though I'm trying to use one of the USB ports for that purpose.

first one was busted, second one works
Changing my review. First one I got didn't work at all, even when plugged in. NewQ reached out and offered a replacement at no charge. I was still worried after seeing some other reviews, but it actually works really well and is exactly what I wanted. Now I have 3TB for my Deck without having to be docked. On top of that, I can wire into Ethernet with a USB 3 to Ethernet adapter and still have a USB slot open for my keyboard/mouse combo.The main thing I wanted was the SD slot though, as there's not a lot of viable options for extra portable storage without jury-rigging some stuff. From what I understand, it's more feasible to use a second SD card over an external m2. Looks like I'm getting full speed too, from the SD slot and the USB ports. Pretty awesome dock. I don't have much use for an HDMI port since I already have an actual desktop, but maybe it'd be cool to play couch co-op outside the house or something instead of having to lug a desktop around.

Great accessory for gaming and mobile computing
This docker is great and is always on my switch. I love the fact I have a 2nd micro SD slot and normal USB for accessories.The only improvement was if the USB c port would have been able to be chained to another dock or used for display since that would make it that I can continue to use the other micro SD when connected to an external touch display.Also the USB c cable is a weak point and is usually the first thing to stop working in some way (usually stops charging the decide but still has the dock functionality working. I had 3 so far and each one lasted an acceptable amount before the USB c cable stopped working as expected, so I still recommend this, but if that would be fixed it will make it last much longer.

This dock was obviously designed in a day
I have many issues with this device. The biggest currently being that you can’t plug or unplug the deck charger without the micro SD getting unmounted. I pretty much have to decide wether im gonna need a charger while playing a game and leave it in the entire time i play. Even after setting up automount on the docked micro sd it still crashes all of my games when i plug and unplug the charger.Not to mention how long it took me to get the steam library working on the docked micro sd. Not only was it a pain to change the steam library path as described by the seller, it was also a pain to get the games running because of my own doing. Its important to note that if you symlinked your shadercache or compatdata to the sd card those file paths all have to be set to the new sd location. It took me hours to remember I did that and its something the seller should probably be aware of as it wouldve really saved me a headache if I was aware that the symlinks wouldnt change.As for the design of the dock, they must have taken the deck out for the 4th slide on the last product image. There is no way to fit this thing in the original package with the dock. And the cable is too long so when you set the deck down on its back it rests on the cable bending it and possibly damaging the usb c port in the long run. This thing gets REALLY hot especially when charging so I would almost recommend using the old fan curve in your deck setting if you want to preserve the lifespan of your deck.The convenience of the dock is the only factor keeping me from a return. Always having an hdmi and 2 usbs and a charging port is what makes this product worth it. The design just isn’t great and it’s disappointing when compared to the images advertised.

Update: excellent customer service & shows they care!
Updated Review:I was recently contacted by Nq's customer service in respect to my original review - which is quite a pleasant surprise. I discussed the issue what I was having with the dock and so far it seems that it could have been just been defective. Either way, their team seems to be interested in figuring out what is going on and doing testing on their end - which means this is a company that cares about their products.Judging from this experience, I would recommend them just from their customer service alone. It's rare to find a company that cares about what they sell nowadays.Original review:I bought this dock for three reasons:1. Clips to the Steam Deck.2. Portable with included microSD (TF) slot.3. Compact design fits in my JSAUX case which has a compartment in the bottom.So the pros:1. Compact design.2. MicroSD/TF card slot for extra storage space.3. Kickstand is pretty solid.4. Includes USB 3.0 ports and HDMI.Cons:1. This thing overheats when charging, causing the Steam Deck to eject/remove the microSD card. It also flakes out the USB ports.2. Not sure yet but the HDMI flakes out sometimes and I am fairly certain it's due to the overheating issue.3. The transfer rate from an internal Sandisk Extreme microSD to a Samsung Evo microSD card (in the dock) is incredibly slow and the disconnects are infuriating.I love the design and look of this dock but it caused my Steam Deck to stop booting correctly, requiring a reimaging of my Steam Deck to get it working again (not sure if it was an update or overheating). I will give this thing another week of trial and possibly return it but so far I am not impressed due to the issues with the HDMI and microSD slot being flakey.
