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.

No, switch lites are locked out of video/audio output via the USB-C port because the lite motherboard doesn't include the chip to do so. It's one of the ways they cut costs in manufacturing the lite and why lites don't work with switch docks.
Shadowcast is their branded HDMI/USB-C capture device.
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.

I use one of those usbC docking stations and I just use my laptop power supply to power it all. Like 15 bucks.
I would prefer this but I'm priced out unfortunately.
Edit: As for the above posts saying that's impossible, we thought the same thing until it wasn't. The PD chip may have been the issue before and next time it's something else. Who knows. But I ain't chancing it to save 10 bucks.
A) We "DO" know. We know exactly why the nyko dock was frying Switches, and exactly how the dock works. It won't be something else because that something else would brick swtiches on the official dock as well. Using any battery, charging cable, or charger outside the official would be just as "dangerous". No one ever thought that using cheap out of compliance parts providing more voltage then a chip can handle wouldn't damage the device. Those same parts used in a 3rd party charger would have fried your phone too. You might as well say no one should ever use any 3rd party accessory ever on any device, and that you can only use OEM phone chargers, or you can take the better lesson. When buying something that plugs into your device, by from a reputable brand.
B) The whole point of this dock isn't to save money. This is a travel dock, something you can toss in your bag instead of a charger with an HDMI cable so you can hook it up anywhere without bringing the much more cumbersome official dock with you which is prone to breaking in ways that can damage your Switch if your not careful when traveling.

I was one of the backers originally an it works great I don't even use my regular dock anymore
Thanks, I was using their current kickstarter as an opportunity to grab the dock and bluetooth adapter too, but I was baffled at the extra shipping per item. I'll just buy now instead of waiting.
