[@theeggman4806]

Yup a paperweight...$ony did the same with turd party peripherals on ps3

[@joemann7971]

@@theeggman4806 It's likely an accident, since the switch uses a non-standard PD protocol. Nintendo has actually been pretty cool with 3rd party accesories, even unofficial ones. While I'm sure Nintendo would prefer you buy an official dock, them frying your switch means you spend less on games. It's possible manufacturers could have reverse engineered the PD protocol to avoid frying the switch, but without some sort of Nintendo License/Approval, it does lack confidence even from myself. They would make more money if you buy $300 worth of games than if you buy new Switch for $300.

[@joemann7971]

@@theeggman4806 Also, I do believe, as he mentioned in the video, that PD protocol is handled by the power supply, not the dock itself. So, if you use an official power brick, you should be fine. So, just use an official power brick, and you're good to go.

"not out yet" Way to crush my dreams! ☹️ I want one already!

[@pompshuffle562]

The main reason the switch is bricked from third party docks is because the switch deviates from the normal USB power supply standards and the standard the switch does use is proprietary and is unknowable by 3rd party dock makers.

[@mynintendogamingfeed5208]

I'd love to get one of those, swap out the 3rd Party Switch Dock PCB with the Nintendo Switch Dock PCB, and boom. A Switch Dock with physical GameCube Controller ports with an OEM Switch Dock inside.

[@RCGrid]

My Nintendo Gaming Feed Unfortunately it would be a lot more difficult than just swapping out the PCB. The ports wouldn’t line up, the controller ports would need to be connected internally and might even take up too much space for the OEM PCB board to fit

[@tl1882]

@@dog8438 i think it was shank mods that made it

[@roryos]

If your switch gets bricked you can pick up a solder rework station and replace the M92T36630380 tiny chip right next to the large memory modules. It's a power issue that either confuses or fries that specific chip when using a third party dock.

[@seacrezt]

Oh well if it gets bricked Vince can fix it 😁

[@theoneandonlysessy]

with everyone having bad experiences and staying away from 3rd party docks(myself included) Nintendo could release all kinds of themed docks like this or nes,snes etc and make a KILLING out of it

[@BigJoJoJoJo]

Did you have a bad experience with a Nyko dock?

[@arthurand1006]

Amazing dock! To reach perfection it could have an ethernet adapter built-in with a port on the back. Furthermore, at least one USB 3.0 because the original dock has one, even though Nintendo probably still only allows it to operate as a 2.0 port. Still quite a remarkable product, thanks for the detailed video!

[@pompshuffle562]

Another person already mentioned this but I just wanted to make it clear, 3rd party docks and power supplies, while technically work with the switch, have a power delivery problem and thus have the ability to fry your system. Nintendo only condones the use of 1st party docs and power supplies and officially licensed battery banks. In the end, this means that the only safe Nintendo switch dock is the official one, and NEVER USE 3dr party power supplies for using the switch in docked mode. I will link wulf den videos for more on this subject in the replies to this comment.

I've honestly never had a problem with 3rd party docks, but I've always used a the 1st party power supply. On side note, I feel like Nyko was the biggest offender and rushed the product out when the Switch launch and the fact Brook is willing to take another crack at it with the skepticism that 3rd party docks have caused is actually bold move. I'm considering getting this as my traveling dock at least.
