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.
No complaints with the jump gate except that one time at a hotel where it overheated my Switch. Been using it for a while now with no issues on an OG Switch.
I also habe an OG switch and mine does overheat, when I have an USB-LAN adapter connected. Is this just a normal dock, or does it have some other features?
No special features besides removable usb-c hub. I did replace the fan and thermal paste on my Switch last year, which may help if you’re overheating.
Not if this got fixed, but if you have a LAN adapter connected, the switch won’t be put into sleep mode and will be on 24/7. The display is off, the dock will not have the green light for “it’s on”,… I had my official adapter from the Wii U and just switched the Wii U to the Switch when it came out. Since I mostly play docked I didn’t realize that until I took my switch out when I went on holidays. Then it still took me a while to realize it’s always hot, even if I hadn’t played for days.
