I have one connected to my Television, but it's a hassle for games to unhook for games I want to play on the monitor for better latency like rhythm games.

I had heard of some third party ones potentially damaging switches back in the day, and wondered if they have improved since then.

I like my genki covert deck personally I backed it in the UK got the global one and have taken it throughout the UK and to the US and it worked flawlessly.

I recommend going with an official refurbished unit. Saves money vs new, and you also don't need to worry about bricking your Switch.

I even got a limited edition one refurbished off Nintendo's site for the same price as a regular refurbished one.

Exactly what I did. Highly recommended.

My understanding after limited research is that it is still a thing to be concerned about, as the Switch is a bit unorthodox in its USB C power standards. Just FYI, Nintendo has refurb docks for a decent price. Even have the white OLED dock in stock if you want/need Ethernet.

I would check out the Genki Covert Dock. It is a game changer when bringing the switch outside the house, but absolutely could be plugged in most of the time at home.

Its a wonderful grab and go dock, and they extensively tested switch compatibility - have had zero issues with mine.

Absolutely in love with the Skull & Go Jumpgate. The Core Drive lets me dock my phone to my TV, too. Also, come on, it's called a Jumpgate with ejectable Core Drive. How can you not want it based on name alone lol
