Will This Dock Brick Your Nintendo Switch?!

Will This Dock Brick Your Nintendo Switch?!

The official Nintendo Switch dock is expensive, so maybe you're considering a 3rd party dock instead. The Skull & Co Jumpgate dock comes in at around 40$ or £40 here in the UK but didn't 3rd party docks brick Nintendo Switch consoles in the past? In this video we take a look at why Nintendo Switch systems were getting bricked from 3rd party docks, how it could be resolved and my thoughts on the Jumpgate dock by Skull & Co!

Always been a fan of Skull & Co, currently using their analog cover + carrying case for my switch lite

[Venison_]

I have one of these and love it! Did a lot of research into the whole bricking issue. Skull & Co. video they made about this is spot on and put my mind at ease. It's permanently hooked up to my other TV and I've taken the smaller slide out version away with me; that feature is just incredible. Purely portable to be used anywhere. Great purchase :)

[amberharris]

This dock is amazing I bought a different charging dock for my switch and I love it. I’m glad skull and Co is serious about testing their products and making sure their products aren’t faulty.

[MitchellTheMitch]

For those wondering about needing to use the official charger, Skull and Co. Sells their own 45w charger WITHOUT any protocols like PPS or PD. I have my OG switch connected to their dock and their charger and it hasn't bricked in the years that I've had it.

[gregcromie]

I wish Nintendo would come out with a portable dock. Would be epic I reckon.

[juanmelendez]

I had the dock for over a year. I love it, but the plastic where the power goes has warped due to heat. I was a little skeptical about it. So i stopped using it in the event of bricking. So use at your own risk! I use their case but never again their dock.

[AugustusMcMillan]

since it doesnt come with a power supply the price difference isnt really there. nice additional features though.

[darnellnoir]

bought this straight away this is amazing

[RealBrandTheNew]

I use those dock all the time. WITHOUT THE ORIGINAL NINTENDO AC plug. I have the OLED model and this thing goes with me in my switch travel bag. I recommend as a primary or portable as I do.

[keleston]

I had mine when they were still doing the SNES theme jump gate and it’s my « on the go » dock and still work perfectly

[Papi_Chulito]

Skull & Co. is such an incredible company with affordable accessories

[audisiojunior]

I use it for 1 year now and never had a problem until today. My switch could not turn on. Used the official one and it returned to life….

[draconic]

2:16 ironically many Anker Chargers as well as skull & Co's own charger are probably safer and more reliable than the original one made by Nintendo (I mean that would be expected the one that Nintendo makes literally comes with the switch no extra cost and an Anker charger was made specifically to be a high quality charger).

Unfortunately most people don't know that and you have to tell them to only use the one that came with their switch otherwise they'll buy the first cheap crap they see on site without knowing the difference. People should have higher standards when it comes to chargers and power supplies because these things literally have the ability to destroy your stuff if they fail or don't work right.

[homebrewGT]

I am tempted to do it, but then again i trust nothing and fear my Switch charging port will be fried lol, I think ill go with the mini dock DIY project i've seen everywhere...

[bryanpreciadopuente]

Still working fine after a year of use? Do you recommend it?

[neoroxx]

and this dock fits into their Skull & Co GripCase Carrying Case as well

[DNaZio]

I have one and loving it ..very handy and works well on my Oled.

[kidzawick]

Excellent video! Will an OLED Switch with a Satisfye ZenGrip Pro Gen 3 case on it fit in this dock? Also, will a regular OG switch with a Mumba Blade series case fit in this dock? Thanks!!

[grey]

does this dock get firmware updates too, or is it fingers crossed a firmware update in the future doesnt make this perfectly good dock into a a switch killer?

[ascensiontm]

Just ordered from the link in the description because of the video, fingers crossed i'll have a good experience with it ! will update this comment once i've received the dock.
