JSAUX Launches Updated Steam Deck Dock with DisplayPort Output

Electronics brand JSAUX just announced the release of their docking station 7-in-1 for Steam Deck, also named 'HB0702', which is the enhanced version of their previous model 'HB0603'. As a new highlight, this portable device includes for the first time ever a DisplayPort 1.2 connector, highly-demanded by their user community, and three USB-A 3.2 ports. It features a classic HDMI 2.0 port, an Ethernet input and an additional USB-C port too. The accessory is now available on their web store at a retail price of $59.99, with no extra shipping cost.

Starting this summer, JSAUX docking stations have turned out into essential accessories to make the most of Valve's handheld console in screens with up to 4K resolution. Although they were designed specifically for Steam Deck, users can also dock smartphones and tablets as well. This flexibility makes it a very complete home entertainment system. Its classy and small casing, made of polished aluminium, makes it perfect for any kind of space or decoration style.

  • It concentrates within a single device all the tools you need to enjoy a complete gaming experience with your Steam Deck, starting with its new DisplayPort 1.2 and an
  • HDMI 2.0 port that allows you to play your favourite with resolutions up to 4K at 60 Hz (also, 2K at 120 Hz).

  • It includes an additional USB-C port with a power input of 100 W.
  • The Ethernet port is ready to provide players with a connection speed up to 1000 Mbps.
  • It's also compatible with iPads and Android phones with USB-C ports.

Looks fine, except the non-swappable USB cable... If You damage it in any way, the whole device becomes rubbish.

^^THIS^^ talk about potential to increase e-waste, yuk :(

Yes a nice looking little hub, but except for the ledge that holds the steamdeck, how exactly is this any different from any other multi-port usb-c hub, some of which are less $$ ?

Kinda wish they had just waited and released one version of the dock. Their product stack is too confusing.

Also going to throw out that my Deck recently stopped working completely while on my JSAUX dock. I don't know if the dock is at fault, but I guess it's something to note.

Maybe this is the one that they needed to update ?, one of these was making the steam deck fan to spin slower than it should of i just don't remember if this was the one.

I'll wait for the version with the optional m2 NVMe slot. It could prove useful having it to store movies or games that look better on the big screen while leaving more portable games on the Deck.

That's definitely true, but then again this is standard for USB-C docks - there are very few with replaceable cables.

It isn't, and they aren't claiming that it is, so... yes? It's a USB-C dock with some extra creature comforts for Steam Deck use. That's exactly the point. Yes, it also costs a bit more. Which is expected, as it does a bit more. If you don't want or need that bit more, buy something else.

Docking cables like this are quite vulnerable to damage over time as they go through hundreds if not thousands of bend cycles quite rapidly, as well as lots of connect/disconnect cycles. It's definitely not uncommon for their cables to break. It's just a shame that this is the standard for this market.

That's how these Chinese accessory companies operate - they have massive target markets and relatively low design and production costs, so they churn out heaps of slightly different models in order to appeal to as many people as possible. It's just a different way of doing things.

Sure, but those cables were also not exactly practical for frequent connections and disconnections like you'd see with a dock. Also, the main reason for screw support on at least DVI, but at least some VGA as well, was the fact that the weight of the cable would pull the cable loose from its receptacle over time just by gravity. Moderns cables are luckily typically self-latching in some way. That's no excuse for too weak USB-C cables of course, but that's fixable with some strain relief and proper design work.
