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??

Your dock won't work, as its most likely HDMI out only (not in). Even a lot of the capture cards that do have HDMI in tend to have a lot of delay, same with a lot apps that would encode a signal over USB, which would also have a performance hit on your Steamdeck as well. I unfortunately can't think of a good solution except maybe upgrading your wifi access point and using a wired network connection with your Steamdeck, but by then you mind as well just buy an external USB-C display.
