When I got mine originally (pre ordered like 2 days in so I got mine 6 months after launch lol) I was doing a TON of travel and it replaced my switch

It then sat mostly unused for almost 2 years because I never gamed away from home and fuck paying for their dock

Finally got the JSAUX dock a couple weeks back and now it's almost fully replaced our entire main TV entertainment center

So fuck paying for the official deck, but … unfuck? paying for a 3rd party one? I don’t get it

[–] UnfairUtan@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

The official one is more expensive

[–] lepinkainen@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago (2 children)

It comes with a 65W USB-C power brick, the same that comes with the Deck.

The 3rd party ones don’t.

Hold up, I did not receive a charger with mine

[–] lepinkainen@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The official one definitely should come with one, it says so on the product page - and mine did

[–] UnfairUtan@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Nevermind, found it.. Thanks for reminding me :)

[–] gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

The third party one I got is 25 bucks

The official one is 80

No power brick is worth $55

The GaN ones are if you care about size and power. Their dock is basically a high quality laptop dock, and priced equivalently, plus it's custom shaped to hold the deck.

For a deck that's just sitting there plugged in all the time yeah not a big deal / worth it.
