I want to get a second dock. Are third party options good?

I have one connected to my Television, but it’s a hassle for games to unhook for games I want to play on the monitor for better latency like rhythm games.

I had heard of some third party ones potentially damaging switches back in the day, and wondered if they have improved since then.

I would check out the Genki Covert Dock. It is a game changer when bringing the switch outside the house, but absolutely could be plugged in most of the time at home.

Its a wonderful grab and go dock, and they extensively tested switch compatibility - have had zero issues with mine.

Very compact which is perfect for travel or not taking up space on my desk.

Another vouch for this. I kickstarted it and have been super happy with it.

Came here to say this! It’s great as a second unit and is always in my backpack or luggage when traveling

30W GaN sounds like a sure way to brick your switch when powered off.

Well it’s a good thing the max draw of a switch is 18W, and this device has a specific 9V power profile for the switch. The 30W is there to support devices with a faster power delivery spec (such as the Steam Deck).
