Well, that’s because something is missing here. While everything seems fine, you get your mobile output on the display but you can’t seem to switch to your PC.
#Dockphone app review Pc
We have the DisplayPort 1.3 cable plugged from my gaming PC into the ROG Mobile Desktop Dock, the USB Type-C delivers the power to the dock, mouse and keyboard connected to the USB 3.1 Gen1 Type-A ports, and a HDMI 2.0 output to an external display.
So this is the typical setup that you would have assumed. Just plug your peripherals to the dock, hook it up to the DisplayPort on your PC and output it to an external display and you’re good to go. Probably the best part about the ROG Mobile Desktop Dock is the fact that you can switch between your PC and mobile at any given time. I put rather high expectations on the ROG Mobile Desktop Dock because this accessory seems to have all that you could ever want to bring your mobile gaming to desktop level. The Phone Case does not work because it blocks the side-mount port and the AeroActive cooler is not needed as the ROG Mobile Desktop Dock already has its own built-in fan.
– SDCard (support SDXC up to 2TB class 10) That’s pretty much everything that is available on the ROG Mobile Desktop Dock. On the left side, there is a DisplayPort 1.3 input port followed by USB 3.0 Micro-B port and a SD card slot that supports SDXC up to 2TB class 10 SD card. The power port also provides QuickCharge 3.0 to the ROG Phone. Next to this are 4 USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A USB ports and at the right most, we have a Type-C USB input port for power, that is said to support Power Delivery 3.0 option (but I did not test it). Following this is a RJ45 Gigabit LAN port for high speed wired internet connection to your ROG Phone. The interface versions shows that the ROG Mobile Desktop Dock would have no problems outputting to a 4K display if you must. Next to it is a HDMI 2.0 and a DisplayPort 1.3 output that you can connect to an external display. At the left most is a microphone in socket followed by a 5.1 surround capable S/PDIF port that doubles as your headphone port. So far so good.Īt the back, things get even more interesting as the ROG Mobile Desktop Dock comes with a plethora of connectivity options. The chamber at the back houses a fan that cools down the ROG Phone while its docked and the fan is controlled the same way you control the ActiveCooler mount. It uses the proprietary 48-pin connector to interface with the ROG Phone using it’s side mount port putting the ROG Phone in landscape mode in the dock. On the other end, is a ROG logo and in between is LED strip that has RGB support reflecting your AURA RGB mode on your ROG Phone. There is a little button on the left corner that switches between the mobile and PC mode. This is the front view of the ROG Mobile Desktop Dock. As for the Micro-B cable, I’ll explain it shortly.
The ROG Mobile Desktop Dock is meant to be permanently placed around your desktop so using your ROG Phone’s power adapter and cable for this is a pretty downer.
Looking at the features that the ROG Mobile Desktop Dock packs, I expected ASUS to at least include an additional power adapter, its cable and a Micro-B USB cable. You will get the ROG Mobile Desktop Dock unit itself along with the warranty form and a quick start guide.
