I bought the official dock on sale. While I have other docks that kinda worked, the continued support with firmware updates and an extra excellent usb-c charger sealed the deal. 20pt off helped off course too! 😎

Now I’m dreaming of the day I can use this dock as my go to solution for traveling and even at home use. I have a multi story home, and lots lots of usb-c devices. This will be perfect!

Except.. I also like TOTK a lot. And I have a first gen switch, anyone know a hack to let the switch play nicely with this dock? Just screen hdmi and charging would be sufficient.

The charger works perfectly for the switch, the hdmi.. was a no go with the other docks. Still have to test with this new one but……. I fear it will not. :((

IIRC you can emulate TOTK on Steam Deck?

Yeah I know, but I like the motion controls.

And frankly the exclusives is the only thing I play on my Switch anymore. It’s just easier. Especially given I do not have much time anymore to tinker with things like when I was 20y ago. 😉

But.. it is on my todo - someday - list for sure!

For what it’s worth I’ve been playing through on the steam deck and enabling motion controls was as simple as adding a community layout that had it bound to the trigger and it’s been perfect

Finally had some time to do this and you're totally right: in the end it was fairly easy to do. even with motion controls.
