Chizha Mount Ling Dock: Steam Deck docking station sports 3-inch touchscreen, active cooling and SSD slot

A new docking solution for gaming handhelds is currently crowdfunding on Kickstarter. Backers should receive a unit in return for a contribution of at least $109. Deliveries are scheduled to start in January 2026. The usual financial risks associated with crowdfunding campaigns apply, and prospective buyers should also check the shipping terms carefully.

Dockcase's new accessory is specifically designed for the Steam Deck, but since it uses a regular USB connection, it should also be compatible with other gaming handhelds. The Chizha Mount Ling Dock is equipped with a 3-inch touchscreen with a resolution of 170 x 560 pixels, which can display info on the video output and control the active fan, which is supposed to improve cooling. The 40mm fan should be relatively quiet at 28dBA.

This new Steam deck docking station also has an HDMI 2.0 port that can output 4K at 60Hz. An Ethernet port is built-in and can be used to connect to wired networks. A full-sized M.2 2280 SSD can be installed as well.

Furthermore, Dockcase offers USB PD with an output of up to 100 watts. Two USB Type-A ports are available, one of the ports has a bandwidth of 10Gbps. Accessories like a mouse or keyboard can be hooked up via USB 2.0, and optical audio output is also onboard. Various comparable docking stations can be found on Amazon, although many don’t come with a display and fan.
