Gulikit revealed a new docking station for Nintendo Switch consoles. This accessory offers a more portable option for users seeking an alternative to the standard Nintendo Switch dock. It supports the original Switch, Switch OLED model, and the upcoming Switch 2.
Portable dock features aluminum build and magnetic back support
The device uses an aluminum body with a plastic underside. The dock features non-slip pads to ensure the console remains steady while in use. A removable magnetic cover block sits on top of the unit. This piece doubles as back support for the handheld when placed in docked mode.
- Material: Aluminum body with plastic underside
- Ports: 1x HDMI output, 1x USB-A port, 1x USB-C power input
- Features: Removable magnetic cover block for USB-C connector; serves as back support for Nintendo Switch
- Compatibility: Nintendo Switch, Switch OLED, and Switch 2
The device provides three connection points located on its front face: an HDMI output, a USB-A port, and a USB-C power input. The setup features one HDMI output, one USB-A port, and a USB-C power input. Gulikit indicates that the USB-C input may handle greater power loads compared to earlier versions. Users can anticipate improved data transfer rates through the USB-A port as well.
The dock carries no official pricing or launch date yet. Gulikit has not confirmed exact specifications beyond the visible ports and materials. As an independent product, this dock may come with different warranty terms than official Nintendo accessories.
The announcement comes amid ongoing discussions regarding input issues with previous Nintendo Switch controllers. Nintendo previously faced regulatory penalties in Europe related to hardware quality concerns. The new dock arrives as the company prepares for the Switch 2 launch window.
