I bought the official dock on sale. While I have other docks that kinda worked, the continued support with firmware updates and an extra excellent usb-c charger sealed the deal. 20pt off helped off course too! 😎

Now I’m dreaming of the day I can use this dock as my go to solution for traveling and even at home use. I have a multi story home, and lots lots of usb-c devices. This will be perfect!

Except… I also like TOTK a lot. And I have a first gen switch, anyone know a hack to let the switch play nicely with this dock? Just screen hdmi and charging would be sufficient.

The charger works perfectly for the switch, the hdmi… was a no go with the other docks. Still have to test with this new one but……. I fear it will not. :((

    Should have been clearer: traveling would be an added bonus. I don’t travel a lot. Although this might be a good solution: if their is a dock that is small for the switch that does work for al my other devices :)) but like you said the power delivery is often the issue then.

    I sometimes feel like sure with usb-c we have a single connector but it’s all more complicated than now even before we had usb. We had multiple connectors then but not “oh that cable/psu does have the good connector but not the watt or density for fast charging/data or whatever”

    That said: al the different micro usb connectors and usb3 connectors was a nightmare as wel. Af least that is solved now I guess.
