I have one connected to my Television, but it’s a hassle for games to unhook for games I want to play on the monitor for better latency like rhythm games.
I had heard of some third party ones potentially damaging switches back in the day, and wondered if they have improved since then.
Absolutely in love with the Skull & Go Jumpgate. The Core Drive lets me dock my phone to my TV, too. Also, come on, it’s called a Jumpgate with ejectable Core Drive. How can you not want it based on name alone lol
No complaints with the jump gate except that one time at a hotel where it overheated my Switch. Been using it for a while now with no issues on an OG Switch.
I also habe an OG switch and mine does overheat, when I have an USB-LAN adapter connected. Is this just a normal dock, or does it have some other features?
No special features besides removable usb-c hub. I did replace the fan and thermal paste on my Switch last year, which may help if you’re overheating.
Not if this got fixed, but if you have a LAN adapter connected, the switch won’t be put into sleep mode and will be on 24/7. The display is off, the dock will not have the green light for “it’s on”,… I had my official adapter from the Wii U and just switched the Wii U to the Switch when it came out. Since I mostly play docked I didn’t realize that until I took my switch out when I went on holidays. Then it still took me a while to realize it’s always hot, even if I hadn’t played for days.
My only complaint is that it isn’t hdmi-cec compliant.
Also I’ve seen reports of this one bricking switches… haven’t had issues with mine though
