I think the stuff about "experimenting" with limited editions is because they're trying to find ways to make it hard for scalpers to buy them. That's why they've got stuff about having a Steam Account in good standing etc.. Maybe it's actually working!
It absolutely discusses phone size - in some detail both in the intro and as part of the reviews.
I'd get this instead: JSAUX Docking Station Compatible with Steam Deck/ROG Ally, 5-in-1 Steam Deck Dock with HDMI 2.0 4K@60Hz, 100Mbps Ethernet, Dual USB-A 2.0 and 100W USB-C Charging Port for Valve Steam Deck-HB0602 https://amzn.eu/d/c71hbV8
It's a fairly well known dock for the Deck, and seems (based on feedback on Reddit) that it's more reliable than the official one if anything.
That was my conclusion from research, so I've got it and it's worked flawlessly for several months.
Yeah, but then they get flexed and you are on at the wrong time. It really is worth the effort to get something set up.
I've never had to do this sort of thing in a lab, but I now feel I know exactly what that feels like! You have my sympathy!
It's just psychologically nicer. It's a bit like it being nicer to get on with work when my desk is tidy (not that I tidy it that often)
I do it, because it makes a massive difference to me how tidy my bedroom feels and how welcoming the bed looks at the end of the day. I just have a duvet though, so it's 10 seconds of pulling on each corner until it's reasonably even - not going for perfection!
I've been using the absolute simplest option - just use normal desktop mode and then KDE Connect for control. KDE Connect connects your phone to anything, and then can use phone touchscreen as mouse for the deck.
