Will This Dock Brick Your Nintendo Switch?!

[@dongcongdanh]

Always been a fan of Skull & Co, currently using their analog cover + carrying case for my switch lite

[@128KB]

Awesome stuff :)

[@amberharris28]

This dock is amazing I bought a different charging dock for my switch and I love it. I’m glad skull and Co is serious about testing their products and making sure their products aren’t faulty.

[@128KB]

Yeah I'm happy about that too! :D

[@Venison_0904]

I have one of these and love it! Did a lot of research into the whole bricking issue. Skull & Co. video they made about this is spot on and put my mind at ease. It's permanently hooked up to my other TV and I've taken the smaller slide out version away with me; that feature is just incredible. Purely portable to be used anywhere. Great purchase :)

[@128KB]

Awesome, so glad you love it too! :D

[@butlertie]

How your switch right now, did you still using it?

[@Venison_0904]

@@butlertie Yes, been using it for ages. Switch still perfect 👌🏻

[@miko6319]

Still using it? Would love to hear a review after all this time. Planning to get this as well

[@julskechap]

Is it safe? Still working ur switch?

[@MitchellTheMitch]

For those wondering about needing to use the official charger, Skull and Co. Sells their own 45w charger WITHOUT any protocols like PPS or PD. I have my OG switch connected to their dock and their charger and it hasn't bricked in the years that I've had it.

[@tydshiin5783]

Idk about this dock, but when I tried to use my own GAN charger which is rated for 65w but adaptable to 45w for switch, it has an issue when you connect it to the official dock (The warning that it'll make before it bricks), so I'm kinda wary of trying to use alternative chargers

[@MitchellTheMitch]

@@tydshiin5783 Trust me, my switch hasn't been bricked yet

[@gregcromie9939]

I wish Nintendo would come out with a portable dock. Would be epic I reckon.

[@128KB]

I know right me too!

[@draconic5129]

It would be cool, although I feel like they wouldn't want to do it since the whole reason the original dock is as big and clunky as it is is because they want to cement the idea into the general public that the Nintendo switch is a home console that can become portable and not what it actually is which is a portable that is able to be docked to a television.

[@CookiesNMilf]

They don’t care about what’s easy and what people want. They say “this is all you get” and we all simp and buy it

[@awsome14619]

Get the extreme rate dock. You have to take apart your dock but is pretty easy and makes your dock portable.

[@juanmelendez3144]

I had the dock for over a year. I love it, but the plastic where the power goes has warped due to heat. I was a little skeptical about it. So i stopped using it in the event of bricking. So use at your own risk! I use their case but never again their dock.

[@OrdBanjo]

I’ll consider getting one of these docks since I lost my dock at another place on vacation and I don’t want to spend full price on a new dock Since I want to save some money on the switch 2

[@azurepenguingaming]

am using the same dock, but my switch got bricked, error 2002-3580. lost all my progress on my pokemon games :T

[@128KB]

100% contact Skull & Co about that, googling the error it seems its an internal hardware failure, seems lots of people have had that whilst using even the official dock. I'd contact Skull & Co and Nintendo support too!

[@azurepenguingaming]

@@128KB tnx, already sent them an email

[@AugustusMcMillan]

since it doesnt come with a power supply the price difference isnt really there. nice additional features though.

[@128KB]

Good point actually BUT you'll already have a power supply if you own a switch regardless so you won't need to purchase another

[@IronicSonic83]

I have this problem recently with this dock and my OLED Switch that image output is like 480p. Never happened before with my old Swtich v1

[@tydshiin5783]

Hey, is your dock the one with one USB A port in the back only?

[@darnellnoir]

bought this straight away this is amazing

[@Ari-Rina]

Does it increse the fps from handheld (30fps) to tv mode (60fps), like the official nintendo dock does?

[@128KB]

If the game supports it then yeah

[@Ari-Rina]

@@128KB thank you for the Quick reply. I've been trying to get info on that for hours but didn't find anything. For games like splatoon 2, it is very much necessary to play with the docked mode in 60fps.

[@draconic5129]

All docks have that feature because it's not actually the dock that does it, it's the Nintendo switch itself that changes modes and overclocks itself when it receives the correct charging voltage and signal to switch.

[@TPGKDUB]

How come mine was missing SD card slots and a whole USB port is this a fake or old version ?

[@sarano4315]

Is it still safe to use as of 2023?

[@RealBrandTheNew]

I use those dock all the time. WITHOUT THE ORIGINAL NINTENDO AC plug. I have the OLED model and this thing goes with me in my switch travel bag. I recommend as a primary or portable as I do.

[@128KB]

Ooooo risky ;)

[@draconic5129]

2:16 ironically many Anker Chargers as well as skull & Co's own charger are probably safer and more reliable than the original one made by Nintendo (I mean that would be expected the one that Nintendo makes literally comes with the switch no extra cost and an Anker charger was made specifically to be a high quality charger). Unfortunately most people don't know that and you have to tell them to only use the one that came with their switch otherwise they'll buy the first cheap crap they see on site without knowing the difference. People should have higher standards when it comes to chargers and power supplies because these things literally have the ability to destroy your stuff if they fail or don't work right.

[@128KB]

Yeah it's generalising for the majority of the population that have no idea

[@mistermastermind528]

Question: You seem to have the Jumpgate that supports the OLED Switch. I'm wondering if this is backwards compatible with the Regular V2 Switch. And is the black version of the Jumpgate not for the OLED?

[@128KB]

Yes they're compatible with all Switches, the black is just a different colour so you can match your setup if you prefer it. You can see this by going to their website directly

[@mistermastermind528]

@@128KB in the stores, the white one is the only version indicated to be oled compatible. So that's kinda confusing. I have the V2 Switch but in case I'd upgrade to the OLED, at least I don't have to also change accessories.

[@tydshiin5783]

​@@128KBthere's a Pro version of it, is that what the white one is?

[@bryanpreciadopuente6656]

Still working fine after a year of use? Do you recommend it?

[@audisiojunior21]

I use it for 1 year now and never had a problem until today. My switch could not turn on. Used the official one and it returned to life….

[@128KB]

Interesting! Did you contact Skull & Co regarding this issue?

[@keleston]

Are you updating your jump gate ?

[@keleston]

I had mine when they were still doing the SNES theme jump gate and it’s my « on the go » dock and still work perfectly

[@128KB]

Awesome

[@DNaZio]

I have one and loving it ..very handy and works well on my Oled.

[@128KB]

So glad you like it

[@amazonilioreis9199]

Is it still working?

[@kidzawick12]

Excellent video! Will an OLED Switch with a Satisfye ZenGrip Pro Gen 3 case on it fit in this dock? Also, will a regular OG switch with a Mumba Blade series case fit in this dock? Thanks!!

[@juliolovestacos]

I love it but it doesn’t turn the switch on when I press the home button on my controller

[@128KB]

Have you tried it with the JoyCon? Could be a controller issue, not all controllers wake from sleep

@@128KB thanks for your great video I really enjoy 😊 I preordered from Ali baba website after your lovely presentation 😎

[@MrSulfor]

Since it's still using Nintendo's proprietory charger I don't see the bricking issue. It's mostly from using 3rd party charging solutions correct?

[@128KB]

Yeah I explain all that and more in the video

im recently one of your subscribers and overwhelmingly agree on your opinions BUT not on this. sorry but will only believe you if truthfully you use it 24/7 for at least a year and use it heavily for long hours. otherwise, im not buying to any 3rd party products like that. not risking my switch.

[@128KB]

Totally respectable decision there, without looking at the reports and testing made by Skull & Co I wouldn't use it either. I certainly wouldn't use any other third party dock but I'm confident the Jumpgate is legit. Give me a year and I'll do an update video 😉
