Gulikit Reveals New Switch Dock
The Nintendo Switch 2 comes with a dock in the box, but their is several third-party options available too. Gulikit plans to add another to the list, as its shared a teaser of there upcoming dock for Nintendo Switch systems.
Portable Design and Build Materials
Gulikits new dock doesnt have an official name yet, but the teaser shared on X reveals the dock is portable, making it a suitable alternative to the main dock while traveling. It appears to be made of aluminum with a plastic underside. The base have slip-resistant feet and vents for heat dissipation.
What is interesting about the dock is that it has a removable cover block for the USB-C connector. This cover magnetically attaches to the top of the dock, serving as back support for your Nintendo Switch. The video also shows that the dock has air intake vents flanking the USB-C connector on all sides.
Ports and Features
The Gulikit dock has just three ports — an HDMI output port, a USB-A port, and a USB-C port for power input. There is also a button labelled dock mode, which should allow users to alternate between TV mode and dock mode. Gulikit says the dock is compatible with the Nintendo Switch, Switch OLED, and Switch 2. However, it hasnt revealed when it will launch and how much it will cost.
Comparison to Earlier Model
Based on the video, Gulikits upcoming dock is an upgrade to its aging model, the NS05 Dock Set (available for $21.99). It ditches the ABS casing for aluminum, and adds vents to the base for better cooling. While the number of ports havent changed, we can expect some improvements such as support for a higher power input for the USB-C port and faster transfer speeds for the USB-A port.
