Jsaux has unveiled its latest products, the HB1201 and HB0801 docking stations, which are designed specifically for the Steam Deck. The HB1201 is Jsaux’s most advanced dock yet, offering a wide range of features and connectivity options.
With the HB1201, users can enjoy a 12-in-1 dual-monitor dock that supports up to 4K120 resolution over both HDMI and DisplayPort. It also features 100W passthrough USB-C PD charging, allowing users to charge their Steam Deck while using the dock. Additionally, the HB1201 offers both full-size SD and microSD card readers, as well as multiple USB ports for connecting peripherals.
The docking stations also come equipped with RGB gamer lights, which can be controlled via OpenRGB on both Windows and Linux. However, users have the option to use SignalRGB instead, which offers a simpler setup process.
While the HB1201 offers a wide range of features, there are some limitations to be aware of. The USB-A ports and the extra USB-C port are limited to 5W output, which may not provide enough power for certain external drives. The SD card slots have a maximum transfer speed of 480Mbps, and users cannot use both slots simultaneously. Additionally, these docks are not compatible with the Nintendo Switch.

For users looking for a more affordable option, the HB0801 is available for $59.99. Although it lacks USB 3.2 support and offers slower USB ports, it still provides a single HDMI port with 4K60 resolution capability.
One notable feature of the Jsaux docking stations is the detachable 1.2-foot USB-C 3.2 100W right-angle charging cable. Unlike many other docks that come with fixed cables, this detachable cable offers more flexibility and adaptability to different handheld sizes and shapes.
The docking stations also include an aluminum heatsink for passive heat dissipation, ensuring that the Steam Deck stays cool during extended gaming sessions. Additionally, the HB1201 features extra hair-trigger and longer-throw back buttons, enhancing the gaming experience.
It is worth mentioning that the RGB backplate included with the docks has its own battery and switch, although it is unclear how it is powered or activated based on the product listing. Further details regarding this feature are expected to be provided by Jsaux.
Both the HB1201 and HB0801 docking stations are set to be available in July, according to Jsaux. These accessories provide Steam Deck users with enhanced connectivity options and convenient features for a more immersive gaming experience. Whether you’re looking for advanced capabilities or a more budget-friendly option, Jsaux has you covered with these new docking stations.
