It's possible manufacturers could have reverse engineered the PD protocol to avoid frying the switch, but without some sort of Nintendo License/Approval, it does lack confidence even from myself.

@@theeggman4806 Also, I do believe, as he mentioned in the video, that PD protocol is handled by the power supply, not the dock itself. So, if you use an official power brick, you should be fine. So, just use an official power brick, and you're good to go.

Zero The maverick hunter th-cam.com/video/5Hp6nLNIWXQ/w-d-xo.html I would suggest watching this before ever thinking of buying a third-party dock, trust me, there’s some really important info in this video
I'd love to get one of those, swap out the 3rd Party Switch Dock PCB with the Nintendo Switch Dock PCB, and boom. A Switch Dock with physical GameCube Controller ports with an OEM Switch Dock inside.
My Nintendo Gaming Feed Unfortunately it would be a lot more difficult than just swapping out the PCB. The ports wouldn’t line up, the controller ports would need to be connected internally and might even take up too much space for the OEM PCB board to fit
If your switch gets bricked you can pick up a solder rework station and replace the M92T36630380 tiny chip right next to the large memory modules. It's a power issue that either confuses or fries that specific chip when using a third party dock.
This is amazing, but I don't really feel comfortable using third party stuff on my electronics tbh. I genuinely like this tho. I honestly don't really have any problems with the V2 dock tho
I agree 100%. Not doing it...no way...sadly. cuz it is cool and I hate the switch dock. Also anyone know about charging devices ...r they safe to use. I got a expensive one but haven't used it on my switch cuz I'm worried....anyone have issues with charging blocks? Or r they fine to use...
@@nathanthecollector429 With the Switch it literally isn't safe tho, the Switch isn't USB C compliant, and it seems like the official adapter and dock are the only 100% safe options due to the Switch's extremely dangerous power drawing
Amazing dock! To reach perfection it could have an ethernet adapter built-in with a port on the back. Furthermore, at least one USB 3.0 because the original dock has one, even though Nintendo probably still only allows it to operate as a 2.0 port. Still quite a remarkable product, thanks for the detailed video!
It actually looks very convenient. I'd def want to get one if I wasn't afraid of bricking my switch. I'd actually use the bluetooth headset if i was on a plane or something (seriously, how does the switch not have bluetooth audio). Another commentor said this and it's super true.. the problem with 3rd party docks is 1 bad update and it turns into a nintoaster.
with everyone having bad experiences and staying away from 3rd party docks(myself included) Nintendo could release all kinds of themed docks like this or nes,snes etc and make a KILLING out of it
This is a really cool dock. It does three things (docks Nintendo Switch w/ USB ports), accepts Gamecube Controllers, and wirelessly syncs audio via Bluetooth. I'd get one, but I already have two of those things, but if they break, it's something I'd consider. Brook makes very good products.
Love these aftermarket docks coming out! Wish they would make a dock that allows you to sit the Switch flat though! Then it can slide into my entertainment console nicely like every other console on the market!
Wow i havent visited this channel in a while (probably because i forgot to hit the bell) but im glad to see your channel is still alive and well Vince. Also if Brook decides to give you a sponsorship deal for this dock when it does come out then i'll definitely buy it using your affiliate link be it from amazon or whatever, cuz if it's good enough for Vince it's good enough for me.
this looks awesome! just add two more gamecube inputs and 1-2 more usb inputs and a built in ethernet port and this could be the best dock ever for the switch
Looks like a great product. Be aware that the Bluetooth headphones must support APTX LL in order to work without latency (well, 40ms, so unnoticeable latency).
Same, although honestly I wish they used the official USB power standard instead using a strange deviation so 3rd party docks didn't brick your system.
I've honestly never had a problem with 3rd party docks, but I've always used a the 1st party power supply. On side note, I feel like Nyko was the biggest offender and rushed the product out when the Switch launch and the fact Brook is willing to take another crack at it with the skepticism that 3rd party docks have caused is actually bold move. I'm considering getting this as my traveling dock at least.

Brook makes great stuff, I think they are from Indonesia but their stuff is hard to find, remember looking for their Bluetooth adapter for the Nes Classic back then and still can't find it at a MSRP.
Another person already mentioned this but I just wanted to make it clear, 3rd party docks and power supplies, while technically work with the switch, have a power delivery problem and thus have the ability to fry your system. Nintendo only condones the use of 1st party docs and power supplies and officially licensed battery banks. In the end, this means that the only safe Nintendo switch dock is the official one, and NEVER USE 3dr party power supplies for using the switch in docked mode. I will link wulf den videos for more on this subject in the replies to this comment.

Wow brook. Another great idea. But without the LAN port and extra 1 or 2 usb slots, its kinda off for me. And it will be a bit time consuming switching it on gc mode or pro controller mode

Looks nicely Made and seems to work well. I was wondering will this Dock work with your switch backwards, so if you got some damaged pinns on the usb-c it will not Dock in the normal Dock but can you turn it around in this one so it uses Other pinns? I do not see this thing frying your switch, all it does is use the voltage from usb to function (because you can use it unplugged from wallsocket) and generate some sort of input/output signals so yeah nicely done by brook.
I'm curious to see how it would work with a switch lite. I have a feeling it would not project on the TV but would the GameCube controller work, Bluetooth, and the USB ports? Pretty cool device

It looks very nice but wasn't there a lot of issues with 3rd party docks bricking Switches a while back? I would be concerned about something like that happening, even though my switch is currently out of commission. Woke up one day and wouldn't turn on was really bummed.
Nintendo is missing so many opportunities to make boat loads of money but not creating docks like with their old hardware. I’d but immediately if Nintendo made this!
I have a third party dock and I think it still works fine, but I haven't used it in a few months. Should I not use it in the future and if so, are there docks that let you play without a monitor that wouldn't be susceptible to any issues?
I'm kinda cautious to buy this dock/adaptor because I hear 3rd party docks will fry the Switch's systems. Should I really buy this? I don't want my Switch to be destroyed.
