Comment on Never use 3rd Party USB-Hubs!

Sorry this has happened to you but I think we would have heard about this by now if it was a common problem. I pre-ordered the Steam Deck and got one of the mid to early range shipments. I’ve been using an Anker hub since day one. There weren’t any official hubs available for some months after the Steam Deck came out.

Really??? Did I just got an unlucky one? I used this Hub for like half an hour (power / mouse / keyboard attached). I don’t know exactly when it stopped charging, but I got thrown into the Recovery screen and from then on it wouldn’t charge.
On a side note, games using a lot of power crash the Deck after some time. Probably has something to do with the Deck relying on the built in battery for high performance procession.
I’m a really big fan of this console and maybe I shouldn’t have listened to the Amazon reviews.

I think you should talk to Valve. They shouldn’t care that you used a third party hub and Anker is a good brand usually.
