Title: Steam Deck Dock
Post by: bigbossman on October 27, 2022, 10:54:12 am

Hi,

I've just placed an order for the Steam Deck Dock or Docking Station (made by Valve).

If I were to have this entered into the database (assuming it hasn't already), where should it be listed? Would this go under Hardware & then Accessory? or would it go under PC & then under Accessory?

I think that an entry for the item could be placed in either category and be fine. Some may argue that the Steam Deck should be recognized as a PC, and some others may argue otherwise. So long as there is only one entry in the database, re-categorizing the entry as we see fit at a later time will always be an option.

The Steam Deck is a computer but it is not a PC. It runs Linux which is also what runs on a PS3. The PS3 is a computer but not a PC.

The Deck itself would go into the generic Hardware category, and any accessories for it go into the generic Accessory category.
