Knowing Valve, they might never actually release the dock. I suppose it depends on how many sales of the deck there are. Then again, by the day of the dock's release, most people will have purchased a standard USB C multi-dongle adapter. For less. Probably.

I want a OneXplayer mini.

The author mentions that the usb connector being on the top is a design "oversight" but its not. Its a "fix" compared to the switch. Ever tried to play the switch in portable mode while it's charging? It sucks. With the cables all coming out of the top its a much slicker design. For a dock you could just slide it onto the dock upside down. Its not like your going to need the display at that point.

Id much much prefer the switch dock upside down and be able to charge while playing without getting jabbed in the gut by the cable.
