Genki Covert Dock

When the Genki Covert Dock popped up on Kickstarter last year, I was definitely intrigued. How could something so small, do so much? I’ll admit right here, that using third party docks definietly worried me as so many others had failed and bricked systems. Thankfully, by all accounts, this dock from Genki won’t cause those problems, and I cannot wait to try it out!

Thanks to the PR firm representing Genki, we have this fantastic list of features to share with you:

Key Features:

• 90% smaller than the native Switch Dock and 22% smaller than native Switch charger

• First-ever charger with built-in HDMI display, allowing the Switch to output 1080p to TV

• A safe third-party Nintendo Switch dock that controls both the power flow and docking data in one device (Human Things’ engineer wrote an article on how Switches get damaged by previous third-party docks on Reddit, that was featured on Ars Technica)

• Gallium Nitride (GaN) technology replaces silicon providing higher efficiency, cooler operation, and a smaller carbon footprint

• Charging is compliant with Nintendo Switch standards and Power Delivery (PD) 3.0

• 30 watts so it’s able to fast-charge the Switch, smartphones, tablets and even many USB-C powered laptops

• Doesn’t require any additional software installation, device drivers or hardware adapters

• Foldable prongs eliminate snags when you pack it on the go

• Global adapters that easily slide on and off for use in over 180 countries

We will have more on this dock in the near future, including a full review. In the meantime, if these features already excite you, you can purchase the dock for 74.99 from Genki!
