Genki tries to crack portable Switch docks with its new Covert Dock

The Switch’s ability to dock and connect to a TV is still one of its most iconic features (it’s right there in the name), but in the two-plus years since the console was released, there haven’t been reliable third-party dock options out there.

If you want to connect a Switch to a TV, you’re basically stuck with Nintendo’s dock or nothing.

Switch accessory company Genki — which is fresh off a successful Kickstarter last year for a Bluetooth headphone adapter for Nintendo’s portable console — wants to change that with the Genki Covert Dock, a miniature GaN charger that also promises to work as a fully functional portable Switch dock.

It sounds like the makings of the perfect Switch dock... if it works.

Then there was the infamous Nyko Portable Docking Kit, one of the most high-profile alternative docks that customers claimed would break their console’s ability to charge or even brick them entirely.

In other words, Genki has a lot to prove here to show that it can succeed where everyone else (other than Nintendo and its comparatively large and clunky first-party dock) has failed.
