General
This $40 Steam Deck Dock alternative is one of the best deals on Prime Early Access.

Amazon's Prime Early Access (opens in new tab) has a third-party hub compatible with the Steam Deck for $40 (opens in new tab). It may only be a $10 savings, but compared to the official Steam Deck dock, this is a really great budget option if you're looking for a way to connect your Steam Deck to an external display or simply use it as a Nintendo Switch-style charging dock.

This Jsaux Steam Deck dock (HB0603) is a 6-in-1 docking station with a Gigabit Ethernet input, three USB 3.0 ports, HDMI 2.0, and a USB Type-C charging port. 4K @ 60Hz signal output so you can use a 4K monitor or TV, you can turn your Steam Deck into a better Nintendo Switch (opens in new tab).

There is no significant difference between this Jsaux Dock and the official $90 Steam Dock (opens in new tab). However, the Steam Deck Dock has three USB 3.1 ports instead of only three USB 3.0 ports on the Jsaux, and a DisplayPort in addition to an HDMI 2.0 port.

So unless you have a strong desire to play Steam Deck at 1440p, 120Hz, the Jsaux may be a better option. There is a cheaper version of the Jsaux Steam Deck dock (opens in new tab) (HB0602) that we reviewed a while back, and when tested it scored quite well

despite lacking some of the features of the upgraded dock

. A powered-up version of the dock (open in new tab) (HB0604) is also available and supports M.2 SSDs; with SSD support and 4K output at 120Hz, it seems like the best overkill if you want to make the most of your precious Deck.
