Steam deck triple monitor setup with the official dock

Steam deck triple monitor setup with the official dock - Lemmy.World

Hi, just wondering if the title is possible. I’m currently daily driving my steam deck as my work pc in my office. mostly i used it to stream programs off my much beefier main pc at home. Recently I’ve been thinking of adding a drawing tablet to the setup (wacom movink) but it uses usb c to c and the dock only has one for power. so if i used an adapter (usb c to usb a), would it work? cheers.

in my experience the official dock has trouble with just one monitor. i couldn’t imagine trying to configure 3.

when i boot into desktop mode with the official dock, there’s a 50-50 chance that it just doesn’t load the image at all on the monitor and i have to take it off the dock and just use desktop in handheld mode.

maybe a better splitter or connection could do it. but the official dock seems to have a lot of issues with USB inputs in general.

oh yeah sometimes mine does that too. i have 1440p and 1080p hooked to the dock. sometimes they struggle but i think its just driver issue so i just rebooted the deck and its running normally again.

once you running more than 1 monitor. you can never go back.
