GuliKit’s Switch 2 TV dock gives me one feature I’ve missed when traveling
The Verge's review of GuliKit's dock for the Nintendo Switch 2 highlights a feature it says it has missed since Nintendo redesigned its own dock without portability in mind: a stand that lets the console perch upright rather than lying flat. The reviewer had previously relied on Genki's Covert Dock for connecting to hotel TVs, but switched to GuliKit's version after Nintendo broke compatibility with the smaller Genki accessory following the Switch 2's release, finding the newer product a better fit for travel despite some compromises.
The GuliKit dock is an all-plastic, puck-shaped design finished to resemble aluminium, making it notably lighter than expected, which the reviewer welcomed as a frequent over-packer. It includes a magnetic USB-C cover that doubles as a backrest, though its weak magnets cause it to detach too easily, and a sliding switch intended to adjust connector position for cased consoles that has limited practical effect. Ports include a 4K/60Hz HDMI output, USB-A for accessory charging, and USB-C supporting up to 100W power delivery, though unlike Genki's dock it requires a separate power adapter. Despite these minor flaws, the reviewer notes GuliKit's dock costs less than half the price of Genki's alternative.
- GuliKit's Switch 2 travel dock offers a console stand Nintendo's own lacks
