I want fewer cables in my life: Fewer plugs, fewer dongles, and definitely fewer moments spent wondering why something isn’t charging. That’s why I own the ASUS ROG 65W Charger Dock. And for thirty big ones, it can also save you from the cable spaghetti and gives your ROG Ally X or Steam Deck some actual desktop or TV stand respect. It’s down to $29.99 at Best Buy, or £39.99 at Amazon in the UK.
I think ASUS knew exactly what they were doing with this one. It’s a charger, yes, but it’s also a clever little dock that pretends to be way more expensive than it is. It fits in your palm, plugs into the wall, and quietly does the job of three different things without making a fuss (basically the opposite of my gaming backlog).
At the heart of it is one USB-C port that connects straight to ROG Ally. Once that’s in, everything else lights up. HDMI 2.0 gives me clean output up to 4K at 60Hz or 1080p at 120Hz. I prefer the latter, as the higher refresh rate just feels smoother, and your TV should handle it like a champ.

Then there’s the USB Type-A port. In my opinion, this is where it punches above its weight. I can hook up my mouse, keyboard, or a USB drive without needing to switch things around every time. It’s not just convenient, it makes the Ally feel like a proper PC instead of something I hold while half-slouching on the couch.
Charging performance is solid too. The dock pumps out 65W total, with 60W going through USB-C and 5W through USB-A. I’ve even had my phone charging while gaming, and nothing slowed down. It’s one of those rare pieces of gear that does exactly what it says, and you kind of forget it’s even there.
Your next best option is RPS’ top pick from the best Steam Deck docks in 2025: UGREEN Steam Deck Dock 9-in-1 USB C Docking Station, which is currently $18 off, and down $41.99 at Amazon.
