<\/section>\n

I love my Steam Deck<\/a>. I use it daily, enjoying everything from bite-sized indies and retro gems (thanks, EmuDeck!) to AAA games on its easy-to-use interface. <\/p>\n

The Steam Deck has been my primary gaming device since it launched, so when Valve announced the Steam Machine<\/a> \u2013 a similar but more powerful device that plays games on a big TV screen \u2013 I was ready to pull a Futurama meme and wave cash in Gabe’s face. But like pretty much everyone, including Valve<\/a>, I was disappointed by the Steam Machine\u2019s high price<\/a> once Valve finally revealed it. <\/p>\n

\n
<\/section>\n\n

Thanks to RAMageddon, Steam Machines start<\/em> at over $1,000. I have bills to pay and mouths to feed<\/a>, so I can\u2019t justify dropping that much cash on a new way to play games I can already play just fine on the Deck. <\/p>\n

Thankfully, it turns out I didn\u2019t have to. I bought the JSAUX Docking Station for Steam Deck, currently on sale at Amazon for $26.99<\/a>, and I\u2019ve been enjoying all those same games on the big screen without having to take out a second mortgage on the house.<\/p>\n

The name JSAUX might look one of those no-name \u201cbrands\u201d that litter Amazon\u2019s search results, but it\u2019s actually a respected maker of electronic accessories. The dock works like a charm. It\u2019s a tiny thing, much smaller than a Switch or Switch 2 dock. It\u2019s basically a little plastic wedge that\u2019s just big enough to hold your Steam Deck upright (or ROG Ally<\/a> or Legion Go<\/a> \u2013 it works with most handheld gaming PCs<\/a>). It has a little cable to plug into the power port on your Deck to charge it. And it has various ports on the back: HDMI, USB-C, and two USB-A. That\u2019s it. It\u2019s a simple thing.<\/p>\n

But when you connect it to power and your TV, it makes your TV the display for your Steam Deck. Just like a Steam Machine, it lets you play the majority of your Steam games on your TV.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

Now, it’s not a perfect solution. The Deck isn\u2019t as powerful as a Steam Machine, so you\u2019ll have to play most games in 1080p, and they might look a little fuzzy on a 4K display. And you\u2019ll need an external controller since you\u2019ll be on your couch and your Deck, with its built-in controls, is docked. You don’t need the pricy, sold-out Steam Controller<\/a>; I use this 8BitDo one<\/a>, but you can use an Xbox, PS5, or Switch controller as well. <\/p>\n

Spending a few bucks on a dock and a maybe an extra controller is a heck of a lot cheaper than cleaning out your savings account for a Steam Machine \u2013 and the results aren\u2019t that different. Now I can play the majority of my Steam library on my TV, and that’s pretty great.<\/p>\n
