I want to be able to make my Surface Go 2 into a mini desktop by attaching a wireless mouse and keyboard, I also want to plug in a monitor with an HDMI plug. What docking station should I buy? It's so overwhelming to me... Thank you!

    Hi hullkr,

    Thank you for reaching Microsoft Community.

    Does the mouse and keyboard you'll use connects through Bluetooth without any dongle needed to be plugged in?

    The Surface Go 2 uses its USB-C port for external monitors. Since your external monitor has HDMI connection, you'll need a USB-C to HDMI adapter. This is if you don't need to plug in other peripherals like a dongle for your mouse and keyboard. Please note also that for best results, we recommend using a n active HDMI cable. See these page for more details: Connect Surface to a monitor | Set-up a Surface USB-C to display adapter.

    If in case you need to use more ports for your set up, please check other Surface Dock 2 which is compatible with your Surface Go 2 and connects through the Surface Connect port (charging port). The Surface Dock 2 will then provide you more ports you can use for your Surface Go 2 set up. See this page for more details: Identify Surface Dock and features.
