Hi, I'm getting an S88 MK3, I have a Windows10 PC, and will prepare in case I get a Mac in the future. There will be some distance between the keyboard and the computer.

I want a docking station, but won't exceed 300 CAD. Will the Logi Dock (all-in-one) w/speakerphone work good? I'm also considering a Dell WD19S docking station.

I want to use a Dell 65w USB-C laptop charger for the keyboard's secondary port, if that's relevant info.

Thanks

    I'm pretty much in the same boat as far as distance from my Windows 10 PC and my S88 MK3, but I'm using a 7 foot high quality USB cable and have had no problems with connectivity and operations. I do know there's an upper limit to how long a USB cable should be and I'm pretty sure I'm fairly close to that. I use a separate dedicated power adapter for my keyboard which is colocated with the keyboard.

    I don't have much experience within the last decade or so with docking stations, but I am planning on replacing my PC at some point this year with a mini desktop PC. I figure with all the connectivity options available on those I should have no problems supporting all my studio gear as well as larger computer monitors and external SSD drives. The mini desktops are small enough I can pretty much place it anywhere out of the way.

    Ok, I would like to know the length of the provided USB-C cable from the box of the keyboard. I especially want to use a docking station for that reason, as I will use the same cable that is provided regardless of the lengths/computer. Thanks
