The smaller form factor is a plus but I wish you had run some thermal tests to see if it made any difference. The AiryDocky claims to have better airflow in its advertising. If not then I see little reason for the average person to purchase this unless they travel with the dock a lot. But if I had $40 burning a hole in my pocket and a free afternoon I could see me doing this just for fun. It's pretty funny when you take apart the dock only to find a single board inside; it's basically just a plastic stand. Nintendo should have gone with this design in the first place.
Just pulled the trigger on one of these. I’ve already swapped all 4 of my joycons to their shells. Looking forward to doing this mod.
Definitely not for the faint of heart! Well done!
Thanks! Yeah it was a lot of work, but I love the results.
Looks great. Damn that's a lot of work though.
I have it in white for the OLED and i like it very much
Looks really clean!
That's exactly what I thought too when I finished the build. Such a clean look to it.
When you connect the power, is the console charging as well as it does on the factory dock?
Yes it acts like the OEM dock, only smaller.
