Nice alternative dock for switch. Great for travel and fairly well regarded as far as third party accessories go. Read about a lot of issues with third party Switch docks frying systems. This started as a kick starter campaign and I believe this is the cheapest price since the kick starter.
To get deal add to cart and use code "
1-UP" for an extra 15% off. Should knock it down to
$55.25 Now $59.50 with free shipping. I got this code by signing up for their email group (a pop up will ask for your email when you first visit the sit).
I do not believe this comes with HDMI cable just the USB-C cable to attach to switch, just the wall plug dock unit. You plug your Switch into the wall/plug unit and use the HDMI output to your screen. Excellent for travel or using on screens other than your main set-up.

Yes. It is safe and works with many other devices/phones as well.
$15-30 for the Yok vs. $55 for this 🤔
Also works perfectly with Samsung's Dex on my phone. It's a perfect travel adapter.
1)This dock is in itself the charger which retails for 30$.
2) It is compliant with the Nintendo Switch. They heavily focus on this in their kickstarter campaign. Which sold for $49 Early Bird and $59 kickstarter price.
3) It makes portable carrying cases all the better allowing you to place in more joycons in place of the original dock/charger.
4) The reason I wanted to comment. I have not been able to use any other USB-C to C cables aside from the supplied cable to work. So make sure you keep that original cable attached to the dock and don't lose it.

If you look up everything Genki found, the Switch is actually in spec in all but one way (the dock uses a slightly smaller connecter to make it easier to slide in and out). A PD compliant dock like Genkis will never brick the Switch unless damaged. The issue with cheap no name solutions is that some use out of PD compliance parts, which is always risky, no matter the device your plugging into it. The whole thing about the Switch not being PD compliant in it's charging standard was actually mostly FUD from early sleuths who didn't actually know what they were doing when they "tested" things out.
Sadly Nyko cheaping out on parts for their single rushed to market device has left the market forever misinformed, and Nintendo wanting to push first party solutions has never has reason to correct that missinformation.
Some people don't understand that the past/present have nothing to do with the future when it comes to firmware updates. Just because it works fine and has never had any problems is irrelevant.
