I have a Samsung Tab 6 with a very nice 8" oled screen. I want to use it in combo with my Bluetooth controller for my Steam Games (for a little more reading room). I’ve tried Steam Link and it works, but the lag of my wifi make it quite unplayable so, since i already have a dock and an hdmi cable, i was thinking of buying a second dock ( as the one in the photo). Anyone has done anything similar? Can you suggest any free android app to do the mirroring from the deck to my tablet??

    The HDMI port on any dock is output only. You would have to get an HDMI capture adapter to go that route, and watching those live with low lag is problematic. Beware of capture adapters that are USB 2.0 (a lot of cheapos will lie about this).

    Another way to go would be Steam Link over wired ethernet.

    One last way, which involves only one higher-end USB-C cable, would be to directly plug the deck to the tablet. One (or both) would act in a CDC-ether role to network the two together. (How do you simultaneously access the internet/Steam’s servers?). This setup is very fussy on the software side. I have been remarkably unsuccessful at connecting the deck to a laptop in this fashion, but Android is more open to doing “dual role” usb stuff.
