Valve's Steam Deck Dock uses different components than their Steam Deck system.
In the meantime, Valve plans to improve the docked experience of their Steam Deck hardware with all USB-C hubs and external displays, giving Steam Deck users a better docked experience using unofficial hubs and adaptors.
