I am in the process of setting up a new home entertainment system, and one of the things I am considering is getting a dock for my Steam Deck. I’m glad that I haven’t made a decision yet because I recently came across a more stylish option from accessory maker GuliKit. This unofficial dock takes design inspiration from the Super Nintendo, with a gray shell and large purple switches that add an aesthetic touch. The docking port has a sliding dust cover to protect it when not in use, and it features a pair of vents.
On the back of the dock, you will find USB-C charging and AC adapter ports, as well as Gigabit Ethernet, HDMI, and three USB 3.0 ports. The dock supports up to 100W power delivery and offers 4K 60Hz HDMI video output, allowing you to enjoy high-quality gaming on your TV. Additionally, the dock includes hidden storage for four microSD cards, providing convenient storage solutions for your gaming library.
One of the great things about this dock is its compatibility with other handheld devices. In addition to the Steam Deck, GuliKit states that it is compatible with handheld devices such as the ROG Ally and Ayaneo’s systems. This means that you can use the dock to play your Nintendo Switch on the TV as well. GuliKit does note that you will need to place your Switch upside down in the dock so that the console’s USB-C port is accessible. However, there is something truly fitting about using a Switch placed in this dock to play classic SNES games.
While the pricing for this dock has yet to be revealed, GuliKit has stated that it will be available in September. The only downside, for now, is that the design is based on the US version of the SNES rather than the more refined European model. Nonetheless, the stylish and functional features of the dock make it an excellent addition to any home entertainment setup.
