Nintendo didn’t plan its Switch dock with question successful mind. Genki’s Covert Dock is simply a overmuch smaller alternate my household has been utilizing to link our Switch to edifice TVs for years, but I’ve travel to recognize I overmuch similar having a basal for the console erstwhile utilizing it this way. So erstwhile it came clip to regenerate the Genki due to the fact that Nintendo broke compatibility with the Switch 2, GuliKit’s updated question dock seemed similar a amended acceptable for my needs. Like Nintendo’s, it provides a convenient spot to perch the console portion playing connected a TV. It’s not perfect, but its fewer tradeoffs are casual to place fixed GuliKit’s solution is little than fractional the terms of Genki’s.

When I archetypal unboxed the GuliKit Dock for Switch 2, it felt similar a bait and switch. Although it looks similar it’s milled from a artifact of aluminum similar my MacBook, the dock is really an all-plastic matter that’s convincingly finished to look similar metal. Picking it up for the archetypal clip was akin to grabbing an bare soda tin you deliberation is full. It’s amazingly light, and portion I was initially disappointed, I soon realized that was astir apt a bully happening since I’m an over-packer who often deals with overweight baggage.

GuliKit Dock for Switch 2

Where to Buy:

The dock’s plan — fundamentally a quadrate puck with rounded corners — is larger than the Genki dock I utilized to question with, but it’s by nary means bulky oregon cumbersome. It’s wide capable to securely enactment the Switch erstwhile it’s docked (I really wouldn’t privation it immoderate smaller), and it positions the console astatine a flimsy backwards space that helps guarantee it won’t autumn disconnected and face-plant adjacent if accidentally bumped.

A magnetic screen protects the USB-C connector erstwhile it’s not successful use, but portion the Switch is connected, the screen tin beryllium attached to the apical of the dock wherever it doubles arsenic a somewhat taller backrest for the console. It’s a bully idea, but 1 fto down by comparatively anemic magnets. It doesn’t instrumentality overmuch unit to dislodge the cover, and I’ve already had it popular disconnected connected its ain portion buried successful my backpack. Attaching the screen with a hinge held unopen by a azygous beardown magnet would person worked better, I think.

On the underside of the dock are 4 rubber feet preventing it from sliding astir and a three-position sliding power that’s expected to widen the USB-C connector to accommodate your console erstwhile it’s successful a protective case. On the dock I tested, moving that power to antithetic positions lone served to somewhat alteration the space of the USB-C connector by a fewer degrees, which doesn’t look each that useful.

On the backmost of the dock is simply a 4K/60Hz HDMI port, a USB-A larboard for charging accessories similar a controller, and a USB-C larboard for connecting an adapter with up to 100W of powerfulness delivery. Having to proviso your ain powerfulness adapter is the biggest downside to choosing GuliKit’s dock implicit Genki’s that has 1 built-in and is designed to plug consecutive into an outlet. That could marque GuliKit’s dock little appealing to some, but it’s not an contented for maine fixed I already question with aggregate adapters that present the 60W the Switch 2 needs for its dock mode.

Alongside the aggregate ports connected the backmost is besides a tiny fastener that turns disconnected dock mode and video output truthful the accessory lone functions arsenic a charger. GuliKit positions this diagnostic arsenic a mode to complaint and play the Switch successful handheld mode without really having to clasp it. While the ergonomics of that attack look little than perfect to me, disabling the dock mode does person the payment of making the Switch complaint a small faster if you’re successful a unreserved to apical disconnected its battery.

If you’re looking for the smallest imaginable mode to link your Switch 2 to a TV, you’re astir apt amended disconnected grabbing Genki’s oregon Jsaux’s accessories that incorporated a powerfulness adapter into their designs truthful each you request to supply is an HDMI and USB-C cable. GuliKit’s solution is somewhat bulkier, but I truly similar that it replicates astir of the functionality offered by the bundled Nintendo dock with a overmuch smaller footprint. And it’s not conscionable utile for traveling. If you privation to link your Switch 2 to TVs successful aggregate rooms astir your location and don’t request an ethernet port, astatine $29.99 GuliKit’s is simply a overmuch cheaper alternate to Nintendo’s $124.99 dock set, adjacent erstwhile factoring successful the added outgo of an HDMI cablegram and 60W adapter.
