With the dock, you can use it as a desktop computer.It replaced my old PC.

To go along with that. The right trigger is left click and the left trigger is right click. Also, left shoulder is Ctrl.

Those things changed my life.

I’d do the same if the deck could handle my gaming needs at 3440x1440

And there other good docks. I just bought the jsaux one which is £40 rather than £70 and seems to work very well.

The cable that came withmy jsaux modcase dock was crap and kept dropping the display. I changed every cable until I realized I didn't change that one and it fixed everything with the dock, except for usb3 not working
