    For some reason the left joycon only drifts while using this dock. We have used 2 other OEM docks and used handheld mode on the Switch I got at launch, they’re fine. This dock does not work well and the Switch feels warm after using it even for a few minutes. Can’t recommend it.

    I received this dock free with my purchase of the console from Best Buy. I honestly wish they would have kept it. I've heard nothing but horror stories about 3rd party docks bricking people's consoles. I haven't had that issue yet but each time I try to dock and play on my television, the image is entirely grey.

    This product didn't work upon opening it, but was past the return date. The company refused to replace it and could not trouble shoot the problem. I would not buy this again, i would stick with the more expensive brand name Nintendo version.

    The dock is very nice. Unfortunately the power supply died after a very few uses in a short period of time. Now I’m stuck with a brick because the return window is gone.

    Cool purchase, it just ended up breaking on me which really sucked. Usually insignia products last a good enough while too so I was a little surprised when it happened.

    The connector base to the actual Nintendo switch was not sitting right, and was not able to see on TV or charge. The device did not last but three months.

    This device does what it is intended to, but unfortunately the switch fits too snug and requires two hands to pull apart. The original dock is easy in and out when docking the switch, this is not.
