  • Will This Dock Brick Your Nintendo Switch?!
    The official Nintendo Switch dock is expensive, so maybe you're considering a 3rd party dock instead. The Skull & Co Jumpgate dock comes in at around 40$ or £40 here in the UK but didn't 3rd party docks brick Nintendo Switch consoles in the past? In this video we take a look at why Nintendo Switch systems were getting bricked from 3rd party docks, how it could be resolved and my thoughts on the Jumpgate dock by Skull & Co!

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 :)

      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.

    Question:

    • @128KB
      @128KB  Год назад +1

      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

    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
      @tydshiin5783 Год назад

      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

      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.

    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.

    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.
