![Runpower [2021 Upgraded Version] Charging Dock for Nintendo Switch, Portable Switch Charging Station, Foldable TV Dock Charging Station with 4K HDMI USB 3.0 and Type-c Ports](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41x7Ule7r4S._AC_.jpg)
So, the first one I ordered didn't work, wouldn't even light up, but did appear to be charging the switch...very odd. I contacted Amazon and they sent a replacement immediately (yay!). The new one arrived and boom! I placed the switch on the docking station and the front part of the dock immediately lit up! The button in the back lit up and when i pushed it, was able to switch display to the TV. It's worked great! It can easily be removed and put away for storage in between uses. I bought this to use downstairs on the main TV when guests want to come play, but don't necessarily want to hang out in my 9yo's room.
Things to note:
1. The placement design of the switch button is a bit odd. When placed in the dock, the button to transfer to the TV is BEHIND the switch console. You have to lift the switch up or reach behind the console to turn it on and it might not be ideal for young/clumsy users.
2. Switching between console and TV use: at least for mine, it hesitates for a few seconds before being displayed on the TV. It's not a big deal for us, but a noticeable delay.
3. I took the advice of others before me and am using the original Nintendo ac adapter that came with the switch paired with this device. I've only used it once so far but I've not encountered any problems. I did purchase a 3rd party ac adapter for my original dock and my daughter hasn't reported any issues.
4. Once docked it does not immediately switch to the TV like the original dock, hence the switching button, and can be used as a display/holder/ charging station. It has a rubber mat on the bottom to help with sliding. I have not noticed any heating issues just yet, but again, I've only used it once.
5. The entire dock is very small and is smaller than a cell phone, so it can easily be packed up and transported. You will need to purchase an HDMI cord for this as well because it doesn't come with one and is necessary to hook up to the TV for displaying. I'm using an Amazon brand one and it seems work well enough so far.
