StarPlayer Nintendo Switch Dock Docking Station for HDMI Dock with 3 USB Ports, 1080P HDMI, 1 Type C Support TV Mode and Tablet Mode

This product works, but not well. The area to insert the console is so narrow that the console often pops out or stops charging. It is also difficult to actually get the dock to start playing on the tv. The button on top seems like it’s very hit or miss. I’d stick with the original licensed nintendo dock.

When I first set this up, I was ininitially concerned about it's small size and lack of cable management, but the switch sits stable and it feels cooler than Nintendo's dock. Air is allowed to flow through, and the back isnt closed in so heat can leave that way rather than sitting.Another big plus is that it has a 3rd USB port thats USB-3, so I have a 4 port powered USB 3.0 hub plugged into this with two ports used by Magic-NS and 2 for the Gamecibe adapter, which gives me 6 wireless controllers - 2 wavebords, and 2 PS4 controllers through the Magic-NS, and they work great, and I still have 2 USB-2 ports left in the front.My only real criticism is that the lack of weight makes it more difficult to pull the joycons off without moving the Switch and would have preferred some way to anchor this down, but I bought a joycon charger so I dont have to worry about accidental damage as I pick it up and I plan to build aomething to anchor it myself.

After reading a slew of bad reviews for this product, and then using it myself, I feel like it's gotten a little bit of an unfairly bad rap.First off, the issue of inserting the switch into it...I actually like how this is designed for that. Despite what others have said, it's not difficult at all. You simply pick up the stand, pick up your switch, line your eye up with the connectors, and insert it right in. Easy. What I like about it, is that I feel like it's actually putting very little wear and tear on the connector unlike the "slushiness" of the nintendo dock where it sort of "slides" in.Second, they are marketing this as a "portable" dock, not as a home replacement one. And for that usage, I think this one is definitely superior to the nintendo one. This one I can just throw into my suitcase, and the way it's built, very compact with no protruding things to bend or break, and the price I paid for it, I have no worries about it being damaged, or even taking up much space in my suitcase (like I did on a trip this weekend).Now that said, there are two things that I'm not thrilled with about it:1. It's price. The price seems low, until you factor in that it doesn't come with an hdmi cable, and more importantly doesn't come with a USB-C power adapter. When you factor those things in, this dock is actually pretty pricey, especially for the build quality (which isn't great).2. The button to push to turn it on "tv mode" is stupidly placed behind where you insert the switch... now how did a blunder like that make it into production?Anyways, I'm glad I have this device. If you travel a fair amount and like to bring your switch with you, then this may be an essential purchase. It sure beats taking the bulky nintendo dock with you, or leaving it at home.

First, I have to keep reminding myself that this is meant to be portable. So it's pretty light and mobile - but not as sturdy or simple as one you would set up and leave at your main TV. The hookups work but they can get a little jenky for the little ones trying to hook it in on their own. Then again we have the same issues in this house with putting PS4 controllers on the charging station.What is annoying is that it didn't come with any of the actual hookup cords or the power cord. Like seriously - put the power cord in there. How cheap can you be?

Tested it at home and it was really easy to set up. Just plug and play. Previously have a portable docking station but it wasnt able to dock properly, so sometime you get video image on the tv and sometime you dun. It is very frustrating. This on the other hand is easy to dock and works like 10/10 of the time. and you can just strap it to you bag, easy to carry around. Can also use it as a stand if you r playing outdoor.

It’s an extremely finicky product. You have to place your Switch in the cradle at the right setting and wait and hope it connects. It also won’t charge the Switch and simultaneously let you play in TV mode - it’s one of the other - so when you play in TV mode the battery drains out.

The boy got this for his Switch and he hasn't had a problem with it at all. He is very happy with his charging dock. He has not had any issues and has zero issues putting his Switch in the dock.

Product worked a couple times but on this most recent time hooking up my Nintendo switch to this doc it bricked my system so now I need to get a new switch just buy the original dock.
