Product Information

Despite its more portable form factor, the Mini doesn't overtake the fully fledged dock in our eyes. Available in a range of sizes and in either black or white, you're getting everything you need for a slower, but much cheaper charge.

And since I have dozens of chargers and cables laying around I didn't even unwrap the switch's charging cable and left it in inside the box. That means you won't be able to use a USB-C to USB-A cable to keep your console juiced up (though Genki provides a USB-C to USB-C in the box that will work just fine).That's helpful if you're on the road, as you won't need to pack separate cables for all your gadgets. While away from home, Nintendo Switch can be charged by plugging the AC adapter into the console's USB Type-C connector. While some USB-compatible devices may be able to supply power to the console, Nintendo cannot recommend any particular device.

While we'd recommend being wary of using these cheaper docking stations, a third party adapter, power bank, or USB-C cable is safe. Because the Nintendo Switch uses the same USB-C port as many phones and tablets, you can charge it with your phone charger. These will extend the battery life of the controllers, allowing you to play for extended periods without having to worry about running out of power.If you're the proud owner of the ultra-versatile Nintendo Switch, then you'll know how great these powerful little gadgets are and you'll definitely want to make the most of your gaming experience - so check out our great selection of Nintendo Switch accessories. Unlike the Joy-Con grip bundled with the Nintendo Switch system, the Joy-Con charging grip can recharge the Joy-Con while you play, so you never have to worry about running out of power.

Great to have if you’d like to enjoy TV mode in different locations, such as on a TV in a different room in your house. Place the Nintendo Switch console into the dock, ensuring that the LCD screen is facing the same direction as the front panel of the dock. This one is a simple but effective solution; it's designed so that you can keep playing in tabletop mode, even as you power up the console's battery.For more information about the USB ports on your PC or other device, consult the device manufacturer. The main reason we see Nintendo Switch with charging port failures coming in are caused by accidental damage. Enjoy your gaming with no interruptions, make sure you switch stays charged up at all times with a handy Nintendo Switch charger. Switch Lite owners, we know what you're thinking but it should be noted that the handheld-only console doesn't support any video output, so the Genki Covert Dock will not be able to connect your device to a display (though you can still charge).
