Totally agree on docked utility for productivity. When I was jumping through the Battle.net setup hoops I was glad to be able to use the dock and kit for that.

When I first got my Deck I set up a “battle docking station” at my work desk, where I thought I’d end up doing some moderate-length play sessions. This was just a JSAUX dock hooked up to my daily drivers (a Dell Ultrasharp monitor and the bluetooth channels on my AnnePro 2 keyboard and Steelseries Aerox 3 mouse, since my work system uses them both wired).
But I’ve found I don’t play docked at all, maybe 3 or 4 times this year. Most of my gaming now is handheld, using the Deck on the couch. If I’m thinking about playing docked I’ll usually just sit down for a longer session on the “main” gaming rig instead, but that’s rare these days. And for handheld, I have no accessories at all - just a vanilla 512.
Granted, I only play 2-3 hours a week, and I’ve adjusted my habits to mostly playing handheld-friendly, shorter-session games.
If you want to know what the moon blowing up would be like, give Seveneves by Neal Stephenson a read. It’s the last book that got me to stay up all night reading. First two thirds are a solid 9/10.
