I picked it up quite. Awhile ago as the slickest way of using tabletop mode and charging at my desk with my computer. It works, it's portable, and is a phenomenal stand, while charging and not. Recently, I began bringing it to work with me for use as a media screen to free up real estate on my work machine. Tired of swapping my headset back and forth, I decided to give it a go plugging in my Genki adapter, as I would not be super sad if my switch bit the dust at this point. To my surprise, the switch recognizes the adapter and will charge. It's not a perfect fit, and the Genki does partially support a small amount of the weight, but it does function. For science I also tested how much information can be sent through. The Genki worked plugged directly in, and with a USB C to A OTH adapter plugged in, and the Genki USB A adapter in use as well. I can confirm that using a USB C extender cable plugged in to the dock will power the switch, and light up the LED to indicate the switch is docked, but no combination of directions will display video on the screen. I was unable to test a wired controller or a USB Ethernet adapter as I could not find them when testing, but if I get a chance I will update. Read more

Don't get me wrong, this stand works great. It's small so it travels well and allows pass through charging via wall adapter or battery bank. It's also A LOT more stable than the kickstand built into the switch for tabletop mode. Overall I'm glad I bought it but jeez $20 seems like a lot of money after you get this tiny wonder widget in your hand. After unboxing you will wonder why this didn't come with the Switch in the first place. At $10 it would be an accessory you couldn't do without. At regular price, you need to think if you really need one or just want to add it on to your wish list. Read more

After reading some reviews I feel obligated to write my own. First and foremost, PLEASE understand that the product description reads that this is ONLY THE STAND! So why are people SOOOO PERPLEXED that it doesn’t come with a charger. So let me guess for $20 you want this to be a stand, dock, carrying case, charger, and cook you some breakfast?? This is a first party device meaning this will not damage or fry your console like 3rd party devices are known for. This is ideal for on the go play. At work during my break and lunch I find a table and I bust out my stand and dock my switch on it and get some gameplay in. I use the power cable that came with the switch, and I also have a PRO Controller (which also came with an OEM cable) so I use that also. When my battery is low I charge and play. Charges very fast and holds the charge well. When I’m done charging my switch I unplug the cord from the stand, leave the switch docked, and I charge my pro controller. It’s convenient, efficient, and such a useful tool. AGAIN, this isn’t meant to replace your dock, so no it doesn’t have HDMI ports or USB ports, it’s strictly designed to put on a desk or flat surface and get some gameplay in while charging your device. It’s super sturdy and super grippy. Ive never encountered any issues with it sliding or getting weak etc.. Read more

I use this in conjunction with the Anker Switch Battery (both) and this charges the switch perfectly fine. No issues. PROS: size: super portable due to small size stability: very stable, will not fall over unless you... punch the Switch or throw something really hard at it (no I did not test this and I will not, and you should not either). It's perfect FOR NORMAL SITUATIONS. None of those weird highly specific situations certain YouTubers put their products through charging: does not limit charging speed; the Switch will do all that for you so don't worry; you won't damage your Switch with this CONS: I guess the price, but $20 is fine for this. It is first party, so you'd expect it to be "pricy." Some would probably want this to be $10 with the function it has, but if this was $10, there would also be people saying it should be cheaper. So no real cons in my opinion Read more

I really like this stand. The crarging port seems to support fastcharging. So thats great. My only complaint is if you have it plugged in and are holding the switch instead of using the stand. The stand itself is only held into place via the charge port. And its not a snug fit. Although it doesnt fall out and continues charging. It hang in a very precarious fashion and i feel is unsecure. With that said its still a great product and much like the seitch itself has a few minor flaws. (The switch charging port being on the bottom). Read more

I tossed my switch onto this as soon as it came in. I went to play a game and it wouldn't power on, so I unplugged the dock and plugged the charger straight into my switch. I left it overnight with no power. I checked that the charger itself was working by changing it out, and plugging the charger into a friends switch. Honestly really disappointed in Nintendo with this one. I contacted there customer service and was told that I would need to call them. Sadly I work overnights so I am unable to do this right now. I will update with the response from Nintendo. Right now I am looking at dropping $89.00 for there repair fee since my switch no longer has a warranty. Read more

It's been my travelling companion ever since I bought it. A perfect addition to any Switch owner out there. Read more
