I have one connected to my Television, but it's a hassle for games to unhook for games I want to play on the monitor for better latency like rhythm games.

I had heard of some third party ones potentially damaging switches back in the day, and wondered if they have improved since then.

I like my genki covert deck personally I backed it in the UK got the global one and have taken it throughout the UK and to the US and it worked flawlessly.

My understanding after limited research is that it is still a thing to be concerned about, as the Switch is a bit unorthodox in its USB C power standards. Just FYI, Nintendo has refurb docks for a decent price. Even have the white OLED dock in stock if you want/need Ethernet.

I would check out the Genki Covert Dock. It is a game changer when bringing the switch outside the house, but absolutely could be plugged in most of the time at home.

Its a wonderful grab and go dock, and they extensively tested switch compatibility - have had zero issues with mine.

I recommend going with an official refurbished unit. Saves money vs new, and you also don't need to worry about bricking your Switch.

I even got a limited edition one refurbished off Nintendo's site for the same price as a regular refurbished one.

Exactly what I did. Highly recommended.

If you buy 3rd party and your switch refuses to turn on after using, try holding the power button for 20s

We've had success with this one, the kids love it and it travels great, we've used it all over the world and regularly at home. We are US based but bought it on vacation in the UK.

Absolutely in love with the Skull & Go Jumpgate. The Core Drive lets me dock my phone to my TV, too. Also, come on, it's called a Jumpgate with ejectable Core Drive. How can you not want it based on name alone lol
