What's going on boys and girls soft world this is Colin from Reston Virginia
and you guys are watching often John played Austin jump please here and today
I want to talk about something that has a bit upsetting me a little bit and that
is the Nintendo switch dock and my problem the Nintendo switch socket it's
huge its clunky it's the sculpting for such a beautiful beautiful innovative
system the dock is three times the width of it it blocks the entire screen it's
hideous there's a company online called base top and they've created a Portable
Nintendo switch dock replacement case just to be clear this is not a
replacement dock as a replacement dock would be basically you have a you have B
pick one or the other this however is going to be a modified
version of your current dock and it's just this this tiny little thing fits
about the size of the palm of my hand not girly hands
I got tiny girly hands like you think you were fighting a midget or a small
child to view or to fist fight me but this is it and if you look on one side
we have your HDMI your 3.0 this is the internal one and then we have your USB C
type in and then on the other side you have your two USB docks that's mostly
for charging on the back they put some vents I don't know how much the circuit
board needs to breathe although never really hurts now what's amazing about
this is this is the entire circuit board I know I took it apart you have to take
it apart that's the kicker that's the kicker because the connection and it's
basically a hub or a dock actually it is technically a dock and it's real sense
but the dock has some proprietary chips in there that only Nintendo can actually
do that's the reason you haven't seen third-party actual docks out this giant
thing is disgusting in order to take it all apart you have to take the back off
then you have to actually take out the actual motherboard inside of here you
have to rip it apart you have to pull out the actual the actual USB pin and do
everything else so it it's a pretty labor intensive I'd say it's about a
half hour process to actually go ahead and do it and no
point did I think I was going to break it all so it doesn't come with written
instructions instead there is a QR code on the back of the package that you have
to scan and it brings you to a YouTube video I'm going to link it in the
description down below just because I feel like you should know exactly what's
going to go into taking it apart and putting it together before buying it if
I had known what was going to go into it I want to do it does this void the
warranty some of your going ask I have no idea I think if you were to take this
apart that would void some warranties but I don't know about the dock also
there just started selling docks like certain like actual Nintendo docks are
probably going to pick up a second one for my other TV but the switch just
literally sits in the dock like that that's all there is to it you do lose
the springy functionality of it sitting in there which in all honesty I wasn't
that crazy about in the first place is when you take it apart you're actually
going to see the springs that are inside of there there are two more they came
flying out there probably on the floor somewhere but yeah it is a beautiful
beautiful replacement dock it takes a little bit of know-how the next part is
now you can put it off to the side you can have it sit as a regular gaming
console instead of in that hideous thing it's easier to get to if you like to
leave your switch inside of a cabinet or someplace that it doesn't have a lot of
headroom then I would definitely recommend it I'm going to leave a link
for the purchase down below you could buy it on Amazon it's $24.99 plus free
shipping just for reference this is not a sponsored video I was not paid by them
I was not sent one I bought it myself it arrived yesterday and yeah I just I just
saw it I was like I want this in all honesty this is an instruction guide
it's a 3d printed piece of plastic I mean it's probably better quality than
thirty than a 3d printed I don't know there's some crazy Dell 3d printers out
there and some replacement screws although those aren't necessary and
that's all it is like if you have a 3d printer there's
probably this on Thingiverse you go on right now you can make your own dock and
your to go because I want to know your
thoughts about the current Nintendo switch dock if you think a Nintendo
should be releasing their own mini dock or travel dock in the future things like
that until next time Austin John out
