Hey all. I was looking for a dock online and noticed a decent amount of third party ones on ebay and Amazon. Anyone tried any, or know a good brand?

I don’t see myself playing on my TV much, just when I have friends over, so I can’t justify the cost of the name brand.

    Last I looked into them on windows (years ago now) they were very hacky there as well, and of course performed quite poorly. It has a few niche uses allowing you to use more monitors than you could use otherwise, especially on macs where last I checked MST wasn’t implemented but still it’s really a last resort option.

      They’re suboptimal in any case, but at least they just work on Windows. I don’t know about Macs, maybe they need some kind of software installation too, but I’m sure the software is a lot easier to install than on Linux.

        I think they need a driver on windows too but they might be able to get it through windows update now or it might be included by default. In the past you had to install it manually and I’d seen it causing bsods
