    I've had a switch since late 2017 but recently upgraded to the new switch with the increased battery life. I sold the tablet portion of my old switch, so now I have two docks, ac adapters, and pairs of joy cons.

    Man, I remember when 3rd party docks for the switch were new and they were bricking systems left and right. I've been leary of them ever since but if the issues they were having were ironed out, it may be time for a second look.

    Hey Gary, thankfully I got a 2nd OEM dock from Mercari (for only $40 like new) right before the pandemic crash in March (after the fiancee bought me a Switch for Valentine's Day). Along with a Best Buy/Rocketfish Switch dock (before they changed their private label gaming-branding late summer to Insignia and went from a USB-C charger for their Rocketfish dock to a new propietary round plug to the dock). The OEM dock that came with the Switch is in my gaming tower rack in my living room, while the OEM I got from Mercari is in my bedroom gaming setup, as the Rocketfish is my current backup/spare).
    As for favorite game on the Switch....hrm....Physically, I'd probably say the Psyiko Collections, Super Mario Odyssey and Star Wars Pinball (ditto for snagging Mario/Rabbids when it was on sale for $15 way back when). Digitally, Bloodroots has been a pretty underrated find. (Course, if it were my fiancee, she's addicted to Animal Crossing New Horizons, along with Super Mario Party and Disney Tsum Tsum Festival.

    These are some cool docks. In my office/game room I've been using the Insignia doc from Best Buy. I've been using it a over a year now and had no issues. I don't use it all the time mainly when I'm going to stream or capture footage, otherwise I play the switch in the living room on the OG doc. Have you had experience and thoughts on that dock?

      I have tested the Insignia dock in the past:

      Not according to the engineers and product developers I've spoken to in depth on the subject. The dock, in and of itself, had little impact on the Bricking issue, which itself became an issue 3 years ago. Using 3rd party docks with the Nintendo power supply should not cause issues. This is why, for the most part, docks have been omitting power supplies for 2-2 1/2 years.
