NEXT - 4K TV Dock Kit for Switch 2, Switch & Switch OLED - Black

Was debating about getting this or the actual dock from Nintendo and ended up with the next dock. My decision was based on the size and portability which I wanted to use for traveling and taking it on the go. So far the dock works great and connecting is easy. Recommend if you are looking for a dock on the go. The only thing that I would note is that if you have the kill switch case you have to keep removing to connect.

If you have a 2nd TV around your house that you would like to play your Switch 2 on, or if you have both a Switch 1 AND a Switch 2 in your home, then this dock is a nearly perfect alternative to Nintendo's own docking solutions. This dock functions as advertised, connecting both the Switch 1 & Switch 2 to a TV, and it can serve as a charging stand for tabletop play if you don't connect it to a TV, all for a lot less money than an official Nintendo Switch 2 Dock. It's important to note, however, that this dock DOESN'T SUPPORT 4K HDR (this is listed in the owner's manual, but is not stated explicitly on the packaging) so if that's a deal breaker for you, then I'd avoid the NEXT 4K Dock Kit. One other thing you should know about this dock (which is ultimately why I had to return it), is that it may not be fully compatible with older PC Capture Cards, such as the Elgato HD60 S+. I REALLY wanted to use this dock with my PC setup, but for whatever reason, OBS was not able to capture audio in any way whatsoever when this dock was connected to my HD60 S+. It could capture video just fine when properly set-up but not audio, and to add insult to injury, game audio was actually being sent and could be heard via passthrough but not via OBS audio capture. So if you are planning on streaming or recording via PC, I'd look for alternatives. TL:DR - The Next 4K Dock Kit works strictly as advertised. It offers more functionality than any official Nintendo dock for less money. If you want to connect a Switch or Switch 2 to a bedroom TV or computer monitor, and don't need/want 4K HDR, this dock will work perfectly. If you're looking to stream to friends or record via PC, this dock may not be for you.

I love the versatility of the size, how portable and easily taken on the go!

Perfect size for my set up. Also works best for travel as the original doc is larger.

Whenever a notification pops up like a screenshot, gamechat or someone’s online status, the switch 2 would just lag as long as the notification pops up for. I tried updating it on its latest firmware, trying the charger it comes with and the original switch 2 one and i exchanged it for another one and had the same issues so I returned it in the end. If you’re trying to use this as a switch 1 dock it works perfectly fine but was really wanting this as a 2nd dock that I can bring around with me.
