As a proud Steam Deck owner and enthusiast, I always smile when I say the name Sabrent. These wizards are responsible for some of the highest-quality internal storage drives on the market to date. Their passion for supporting the Deck seems to know no bounds, as they’ve created many other amazing accessories in recent months. To add to their already impressive library, Sabrent has released a neat little device that will change the way you play games on the move.
The Sabrent USB Type-C 3-Port Gaming Hub for the Steam Deck is a stealthy, clip-on hub that has gamers going wild. This little behemoth combines USB-A storage options with USB-C PD upstream power delivery in a stylish package, and it's only $30 on Amazon.
Picture yourself in the middle of a gaming marathon when all of a sudden you see that you need to connect your device to power. That’s all well and good but what if you’re also using a Bluetooth controller or perhaps, you’re looking to play a game you have stored on a thumb drive. The ingredients for a cable disaster are all there, aren't they?
Having to dock your Steam Deck is a little disappointing when all you really want to do is veg out on the sofa. Well worry no more. With Sabrent's gaming hub, you can easily multitask without the hassle of tangled wires, thanks to its two USB-A 3.2 ports and one USB-C 3.2 with PD.
The snug fit is one of the hub's most notable characteristics. You can keep it on your Deck for the foreseeable future because it attaches so securely that you won't even notice it's there. Gone are the days of lugging around a heavy docking station with your portable console. To keep your Deck looking good while you play games and charge at the same time, the Sabrent Gaming Hub shifts the USB-C connection point to the rear. Out of sight but certainly not out of mind.
Sabrent's Gaming Hub Features
Comfort and Mobility: The official Steam Deck Docking Station is great at home but can be a pain to transport, but the Sabrent hub is truly portable. It's small, lightweight, and easy to attach to your Steam Deck.
Flexibility: The hub is compatible with windows, Linux, macOS, SteamOS, and other operating systems. It works without a hitch on all of them. Attention all do-it-yourselfers and dual-booters! You may find you end up using this USB hub on more than just your Steam Deck.
Price: At only $29.99, it's an accessory that won't break the bank without sacrificing quality.
One potential drawback exists, however. Unfortunately, it doesn’t have an HDMI port, so playing beyond handheld mode isn’t really an option here. That said, you most likely already have a docking station for your Deck set up near your TV or PC monitor. The Sabrent hub is simply designed for gaming on the go.
If you are in need of an all in one docking station for big screen gaming, why not check out the JSAUX's White RGB Dock or the JSAUX Omnicase 2 Pro. We’ve got you covered!
When it comes down to it, adding the Sabrent USB Type-C 3-Port Gaming Hub to your arsenal might breathe new life into your handheld gaming experiences. It's small, dependable, and makes gaming on the go easier.
What are you waiting for? Take your setup to the next level with Sabrent's latest essential accessory and keep the gaming wherever you are…Game on!

"That’s all well and good but what if you’re also using a Bluetooth controller"
Why would this matter, why would a Bluetooth controller occupy the USB-C slot?
These companies need to make them so they fit with cases on the steam deck. Pretty sure the majority of us have some sort of shell. I'm not going to take my steam deck out every time I want to use a USB port.
