Sleeker Docking Station
Accessory specialist GuliKit has unveiled a new docking station for all versions of the Nintendo Switch, with the exception of the Nintendo Switch Lite. With a side length of 8.6 centimeters and a weight of 105 grams, the dock is significantly more compact than Nintendo’s docking station, which weighs a full 383 grams for the Switch 2. Its still pretty light though.
Design and Portability
The design was conceived from the ground up for on-the-go use. GuliKit hides the USB-C port and ventilation openings under a flap, protecting them from dust during transport. When the dock is open, the position of the USB-C connector can be adjusted to three different levels using a slider on the bottom, ensuring that the Nintendo Switch fits into the dock even with a protective case up to 1 millimeter thick. This is a really handy feature.
Connectivity and Video Output
The back panel features three ports – a USB-C port for a power adapter, a USB-A port for connecting accessories, and an HDMI port for connecting to a TV or monitor. This port supports 4K video output at up to 60 frames per second, as well as HDR content and the HDMI Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM). The USB-C port also allows you to install firmware updates to ensure the dock remains compatible when Nintendo makes changes to the Switch’s firmware.
Price and Availibility
The latest GuliKit Nintendo Switch 2 Dock is now available for $29.99 on Amazon. The dock is compatible with both the first-generation Nintendo Switch and the Nintendo Switch 2. This dock is a great option for anyone needing a more portable solution.
