What an ingenious design! I've been looking for another dock for a while and I was unsure if I really wanted to try a third party one... Even if it's supposed to be safer now, I guess the sad bricked switch stories are harder to forget. But this one looks very promising! I love the versatility of the ''core'' and the way the dock itself allows for different switch cases. You can tell they really tried to make it as useful as possible. Thank you for your video, it was very thorough!
I always take a laptop and some console/handheld. There are always days where it is raining or something goes bad or wrong and you are stuck in the hotel. Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.
@@RoXolid can i use my switch charger to plug on this dock also my switch is on update 11.0. 1 i hope its safe cause i lose 1 of my switch with the first 3rd party brick that i didnt know
Merry Christmas Gary. Awesome video. This dock is awesome. I like using Dex Dock to play Gamespass XCloud at work to play Xbox on Android. I might have to get this one . Thanks Buddy. Sorry for your loss. RIP Charlie
Nice vid. was wondering what alternative charger you can recommend, I will be traveling soon and the switch charger is too big to for me. there are several usb c PD chargers like the ones from anker or aukey. specifically im looking at the 90w aukey. will that work ?
I would honestly stick with the OEM Charger myself. If you want to look 3rd Party the Genki, Skull & Co, and a few others are compliant and will work. Just be careful. I haven't tested the Anker or Aukey so I can't speak towards them.
The JumpGate. It's compatible with more cases, I love the Core Drive for in the go, and the are times when I forget how the little magnet piece is supposed to go when in use which is frustrating.
I'm sorry, I was thinking the Gullikit one here: th-cam.com/video/9wY-9N69pmE/w-d-xo.html I haven't tested the Convert Dock, sorry. But, myself, since I don't travel as much as I used to and more need docks for TVs, I prefer an actual dock compared to the portable nature of the Convert Dock
I mostly use my Switch in handheld mode. I also like to carry my Sega Nomad or my 3ds when I travel. Ty for the video today and I hope you had a great Xmas.
That cable is not a USB-C male to female adapter. Think about it, what would that even mean ? You put in a male connector and on the other end you get? A male connector. Nothing is adapted. XD It's a (small) USB-C extension cable.
@@RoXolid no, i say this cable is not adapting anything. look at it (and think). it would be a male to male adapter. since male is male, nothing is changed. so: you say "tomato" i say "no tomato"
No offense, ty for the video. I've had mine since release day. Been fine...oh yea for the no offense part...it is a male to male extension. That shouldn't be nothing disputable...male to male...saying otherwise is simply wrong. Thanks for putting out great vids.
There is nothing, no dock, no adapter, that will allow you to ever ever ever ever ever connect a Switch Lite to a television. Nintendo disabled that at a system hardware level.
late to the party here, but thanks for this content! I have a lepow minorit myself and was looking to add a portable option for my switch with it. I can't see the full wire configuration, but are you using mini hdmi -> hdmi, usb c -> usb c to the jumpgate, and powering the jumpgate and lepow with the oem switch charger? sounds too good to be true. thanks!
Excellent review, very thorough. You convinced me to get one vs a second dock on my switch. One question though, can I make it a charger for a usb c iPad mini? Thanks!
I have not be here in like 2 years because i been a REAL retro game collector my entire life i am a 80s kid... But i have gotten into RC-ing and came back here and WOW your game room looks really good and the show is even better... TH-cam this guy use to be a RC GOD a long time ago...
Oh, I was never an RC God, that's left for people like Masami Hirosaka, Cliff Lett, Joel Johnson, Brian Kinwald, and others. But thanks for the compliment. And it wasn't that long ago that I was making TH-cam RC Content, Spring 2015 was when I was given a different position and no-longer in charge of the social media content.
I do also see a problem and I'm not sure if you went over it. If you use wired controllers like me, the controller will have to be pluged into the back of of the dock, which if you aren't careful, could cause accidents. If you do use this dock, it'd be probably best to use a wireless controller.
Hello Gary, have you experienced any kind of issues when using the official nintendo charger with this dock? I noticed it takes around 4 seconds to transfer video to the TV. Thank you
Hello Gary, I have a question regarding your Dex setup. What are you using to power the Jumpgate and what are you using to power your potable monitor. I have a similar setup and I can't seem to get anything to work with the setup. And I believe it to be a power issue of sorts. Thank you.
With DEX, I just plugged the Jumpgate right into my phone or tablet and used the Nintendo power supply for that side of things. I can't remember the exact power supply I used with my Lepow monitor but I think it was a 1A output.
hi gary hope you had a wonderful christmas, i been thinking about some digital downloads for the switch. my question is do i need to buy nintendo memory cards ? and is it ok to have 2 diffrent ones?
I address any bricking concerns in the video itself. Bricking of your Switch by using a 3rd party dock is pretty much a thing of the past. It blew up at the end of 2017, the cause determined in the first half of 2018, and hasn't been much of an issue since.
@@RoXolid ok because I still have my official nintendo dock and have active patch cover but feel like when I take it out it scratch the screen unless it the back part I hear when I take it out of the dock
The best thing you can do if you're worried about bricking your Switch, which I wouldn't be any longer, is to make sure you use either the OEM Nintendo Power Supply or a PD 3.0-compliant one. Also, videos that show the Switch being bricked by 3rd party docks, look at the posting dates. The issue is 3+ years old at this point and long resolved.
Why does it take dude over 2 minutes to start giving us the info we come for? One sure way to keep me from liking and subbing is to make me skip over 2 minutes of you talking about nothing to get the info I want.
The irony of someone called "The Sloth" being impatient isn't lost in me. This is the way I format my content, I always welcome and thank viewers, that's not going to change. I will always show appreciation and express gratitude for people coming to watch. Just like I appreciate you taking time to watch and comment.

Thanks for checking it out!
Can I use the pro controller usb c cable?
For what exactly?
I always take a laptop and some console/handheld. There are always days where it is raining or something goes bad or wrong and you are stuck in the hotel. Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.
I get that!
Can you connect the dex dock without the dongle and just plug it directly to the core or the jump gate itself?
Is this skull dock still safe on the latest update?
Yes it is
@@RoXolid can i use my switch charger to plug on this dock also my switch is on update 11.0. 1 i hope its safe cause i lose 1 of my switch with the first 3rd party brick that i didnt know
I'd suggest checking this out, it should give you some peace of mind

Update on this sir?
What would you like updated?

Thanks for an awesome review! I am definitely going to buy this.
Glad I could help!
Hi Gary! I'm a little late to the party, but if you had to choose between the Jumpgate dock and the Genki Covert dock, which would you pick?
The JumpGate. It's compatible with more cases, I love the Core Drive for in the go, and the are times when I forget how the little magnet piece is supposed to go when in use which is frustrating.
@@RoXolid Thank you for the quick reply! Which magnetic piece are you referring to?
So on the Genki Dock there's a magnetic cover for when you're transporting it. Wait, hang on, let me make sure I'm thinking the right one
I'm sorry, I was thinking the Gullikit one here:
th-cam.com/video/9wY-9N69pmE/w-d-xo.html
I haven't tested the Convert Dock, sorry. But, myself, since I don't travel as much as I used to and more need docks for TVs, I prefer an actual dock compared to the portable nature of the Convert Dock
@@RoXolid No worries! Thank you for your thoughts and I do 100% appreciate your replies!
I mostly use my Switch in handheld mode. I also like to carry my Sega Nomad or my 3ds when I travel. Ty for the video today and I hope you had a great Xmas.
Merry Christmas to you as well
Would this work with a Bluetooth adapter for my ps5 controller
For a third party controller you mean? I don't know, you could try it
I leave video games at home when out and about. Great video Gary!
Thanks my friend!
@@RoXolid Yes sir!
I hope you and your dad had a great Christmas
@@RoXolid We did Gary. Thank you for that! Hope you and your family had a great Christmas as well!
It was quiet & very low key
I prefer one piece Dock, simpler is better
That cable is not a USB-C male to female adapter. Think about it, what would that even mean ?
You put in a male connector and on the other end you get? A male connector. Nothing is adapted. XD
It's a (small) USB-C extension cable.
It's a distinction without a difference. You say Tomato I say tomatto.
@@RoXolid no, i say this cable is not adapting anything. look at it (and think). it would be a male to male adapter. since male is male, nothing is changed.
so: you say "tomato" i say "no tomato"
@@snatermans it's ok, we can agree to disagree.

Mine stopped connecting to the TV after 3 months... It only charges my switch now ugh it was a good dock until stopped working on my TV
Hi sir,is this compatible to oled switch???
Yes, it is
Does is support Nintendo Switch Light?
There is nothing, no dock, no adapter, that will allow you to ever ever ever ever ever connect a Switch Lite to a television. Nintendo disabled that at a system hardware level.

Excellent review, very thorough. You convinced me to get one vs a second dock on my switch. One question though, can I make it a charger for a usb c iPad mini? Thanks!
Well the iPad mini uses lightning, not a USB-C connector, so it wouldn't work.

True, I don't use wired controllers with my system so I don't have this issue
If you're using the OEM PSU will you have to worry about this 3rd party dock bricking your switch
Which is why you hear me tell people to use the OEM PSU
Can it use the other branded Type-C cables besides using Nintendo branded Type-C Cable? BTW Merry Christmas!
Can it? Yes. But I'd recommend sticking with the Nintendo one
Hello Gary, have you experienced any kind of issues when using the official nintendo charger with this dock? I noticed it takes around 4 seconds to transfer video to the TV. Thank you
None, It has worked flawlessly for me
Is the dock safe to use? Cus i have bin iffy about third party docks cus of the bricking issues.
Third-party doc issues were addressed 3 years ago. The main thing is if you use the OEM Nintendo power supply you should not have any issues
Is there a way to turn off the dock? The led light at the back is kind of bright when not in use.
There is not
Can I use Capture Card with this Dock? Thx anyway Gary
Yes, that's where the footage from this video came from.
@@RoXolid thx 4 the prompt answer
You're very welcome

@@RoXolid thank you Gary for the quick reply. I will try that power configuration.
@@TwoRMSquared You are welcome
is it safe for the latest Ver. 13.2. 0.
Yes, as long as you're using the OEM Nintendo Power Supply
hi gary hope you had a wonderful christmas, i been thinking about some digital downloads for the switch. my question is do i need to buy nintendo memory cards ? and is it ok to have 2 diffrent ones?
Just get a Micro SD card, don't overpay for the Nintendo branded ones. Sandisk ones work great, I have a 250GB & 400GB for our Switch & Switch Lite
@@RoXolid ok will do thanks so much gary

@@RoXolid ok because I still have my official nintendo dock and have active patch cover but feel like when I take it out it scratch the screen unless it the back part I hear when I take it out of the dock
If you're concerned about scratching your screen taking it in and out of the dock, simply install a screen protector to alieviate your concern
@@RoXolid oh I forgot I do have one thinking of replacing my official dock with this at home as my main dock
