I bought the official dock on sale. While I have other docks that kinda worked, the continued support with firmware updates and an extra excellent usb-c charger sealed the deal. 20pt off helped off course too! 😎

Now I’m dreaming of the day I can use this dock as my go to solution for traveling and even at home use. I have a multi story home, and lots lots of usb-c devices. This will be perfect!

Except… I also like TOTK a lot. And I have a first gen switch, anyone know a hack to let the switch play nicely with this dock? Just screen hdmi and charging would be sufficient.

The charger works perfectly for the switch, the hdmi… was a no go with the other docks. Still have to test with this new one but……. I fear it will not. :((

    The problem with the Switch is that it’s requirements for the dock are really strange, what makes it worse is that it’s in a hardware level, so the dock has to be specifically designed for it.

      Damnit. Ugh. :( I thought I read that somewhere.

      Man I love Nintendo, bought almost all consoles over the years but their strange overly protective platform guarding makes zero sense. Especially in 2023. It’s even worse than Apple imho.

        And this is why I don’t love Nintendo. They’re are aggressively anti-consumer.

        As others have said you can emulate TOTK with motion controls on the steam deck, but it is a bit of setup to get it going and the performance isn’t perfect. I’m still enjoying it though. (plus unlimited weapon durability and all the mods you could want)
