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.

i forgot to specify. yea, currently im running two external monitors. one 1080p and the other is 1440p.

the wacom movink is a display tablet with pen touch so i'd assume basically an external monitor hence the third monitor.

thats a bummer, thanks for the info.

Ah yea I didn't realize the official dock has 2 ports for display output. Valve is bae.

There are definitely docks that have 3 display outputs, which would be a viable option if you also buy the Wacom Link Plus. I personally don't know of any docks that have 2 display outputs and a USB-C port that is display-capable. There may be Thunderbolt ones but Steam Deck doesn't do Thunderbolt unfortunately.

So yea I guess your only option is a different dock plus Wacom Link Plus. I don't see any other personally.

thank you for your info. seems like searching other docks is the most cost efficient for me. other commenter said that steam deck has a hard limit of 2 external displays, i cant find info if its true or not.

according to some redditor the limits are

one monitor 8K 60Hz | one monitor 4K 120Hz | three monitors 4K 30Hz | three monitors 2K 60Hz

which makes a lot more sense to me than a hard limit. driving displays as far as graphics processors are concerned is just a matter of data bandwidth. so the more pixels you want to drive the fewer monitors you will be able to run
