    Been checking the refurb page for weeks now. I’m about to pull the trigger on this.

    Any recommendations for a budget dock that I can buy from somewhere other than amazon? I’ve been boycotting amazon since pre-covid and I dont intend to break that here. I’d love to find something cheaper than the official valve one though.

    Accessories like this are always the hardest thing to find direct from the manufacturer/on other platforms.

      Same here with not wanting to further fund Amazon. All I can say is beware of eBay sellers, because I’ve ordered like four things from eBay and they still drop shipped from Amazon. Frustrating.

      I have a cheap Ivoler brand dock and it’s worked really well. Not sure where to buy it besides Amazon though.

      I would specifically recommend against buying from Jsaux’s website though, their website isn’t actually safe to buy from.

          Emails and other information used to buy from Jsaux’s website were being sold/passed on to spam advertisers some how. Jsaux denied they were doing it, and it’s possible it could be the company they use for payment processing or something, but it was definitely happening when using their site.

          Gamingonlinux had a couple articles on it, but for some reason I’m having trouble finding them.

      I don’t know if it’s the type you’re looking for but I’m quite happy with my Genki Covert Dock. It does the job quite well, and the portability is nice to have.
