The Switch 2's dimensions are supposedly 206 x 115 x 14 mm. If true, these dock-type controllers won't work with Switch 2. Joycon replacements should still work. That said, it's not like your Switch will die and stop working the second the Switch 2 releases.

Seems like an amazing feature for regular business travelers. Nice handheld mode for planes with dock built in for hotel rooms. Alongside the gaming you get to easily stream KZread and Hulu on the TV, too. Doubt it's an enormous hit at this stage of the Switch's lifecycle, but could be really good for the right consumer.

Took a look at the website and I can roll with this accessory. the case's price is right, too.

The dock thing is cool because it's how I use my Steam Deck in a minimalistic set up : as a controller when hooked to my monitor. But some features are still missing on the Nitro Deck new version. HD rumble witch a lot of 3rd party controllers include now. And what I would really like is the ability to be recognized as a GameCube controller to enable analog triggers in compatible games. Or at the very least the ability to map the right stick to analog triggers for racing games.

Maybe if they do add that in the future i'll consider it, but seeing how close the switch 2 is to being announced, might wait for their nitrodeck for that, unless nintendo manages to make the perfect joycons for it at launch.

This company wasn’t founded until 2022 so wishing for things 6 years before they existed is just weird. I wish my iPhone was sold in 1990 it would have been great. People will still continue to buy the first gen switch so this cases coming out now doesn’t really matter. More people buy original hardware than emulate, also nintendo has one of the strongest collection market so you bet this cases will sell well for years to come.

Cool!!

I hope the switch 2 is something along this design with better specs and targeted at an older demographic, I don’t really take off the joycon anyways unless I get a different color I like more

Can you connect headphones??

To be fair, it’s not the first one to become a dock, it was also the Nexigo grip con,

I’m just waiting for these to circle back to the Wii U gamepad.

Let me just ask something, people were having problems with dock alternatives bricking their Switches, so how are people okay with risking their Switches bricking again with new dock replacements?

I just got mine and 100% agree. Especially about the mushy triggers. They should have just copied the SteamDeck design and moved the buttons higher -OR- copied Satisfye’s offset grip that puts your hand/thumb at just the right angle. I really like it, but just not quite there yet.

Asymmetric stick layout is better, especially like this form factor. Still interesting though

Wow this is surprising

Im confused about the triggers. The ones on the joycons and pro controller are digital. So why do the triggers on this device tarvel at all and why can you edit their sensitivity. Surely you want them to act as buttons so any inputs aren't delayed. You only want sensitivity on triggers if the a game actually utilizes some sort of analog input.

I think ill always like offset joysticks better than parallel

my joycons for house of the dead remake seem broke. I think i read it's the game. Tried replacing them. Same thing. Third party gamecube joycons seem to work. DOYOKY gamecube controller.

I ended up returning mine. Preordered mine and didn’t like the quality of the controller for the $80 I paid, didn’t like the triggers and glossy membrane buttons or dpad.

They just fixed what the number one complaint was about the original. Some people will never be happy.

It is not a dock that it does not has the hdmi output

Why do people feel the need to have the tip of their thumb on the right stick on the original nitro deck? I keep the tip of my thumb near the buttons and the middle of my thumb modulates the stick, I mean it’s a Nintendo switch most games aren’t competitive and plays perfectly fine in that manner. To each their own, I prefer the steam deck layout but the offset doesn’t bother me in this case.

Go the first nitro deck on my oled. Aint not that bad. But recently switched over to steamdeck. Well cant go back anymore.

I think the only reason I would buy one is if it would work for the next Nintendo console.

Utter garbage just like the first Nitro Deck. They need to hire someone new to design their control layout.

The design sucks. Instead of moving the right thumbstick above the buttons they should have moved it a little to the left and kept it below the buttons. Their problem is having the controllers vertical instead of having the right side a little wider so they can offset the stick and buttons. It’s a dumb design.
