PROS:- So much more portable than Nintendo's official Switch dock- Has an extra USB plug for charging controller and/or another device (like phone or watch or whatever)- Product includes Genki's own USB-C 3.1 power cable, which is highly recommended to be used with its convert dock- Reliable 3rd party convert dock for the Switch- Multifunctioning- Casts some of the latest devices with USB-C devices, like some iPhones, Androids, MackBook, and iPad Pro- Prongs are foldable to make converter dock smaller- Product includes 3 international adapters- International adapters made to fit snugly and securely into the Genki converterCONS:- Same cost as a regular official Nintendo Switch dock- May have trouble charging 2 devices at once at hotels, or places with limited electrical output, so you should still bring an extra wall plug just in case- Does not automatically turn on the TV and change input to Nintendo Switch- May have trouble with finding enough space on wall outlet or power strip- International adapters made to ONLY fit the Genki converter.NEUTRAL/UNSURE/Personally might be asking for too much:- May or may not be able to leave Genki convert dock charging the Switch all day all night like the Nintendo dock; says to unplug device if not used for long periods of time (problem is, is 1 week too long already?)- For the price, an included HDMI cable would have been nice... even my $80 monitor and $100 TV comes with an HDMI cable.- Would have been more convenient (and clever) to combine the 3 international adapters into a single multifunctioning adapter, instead I now have 3 extra adapters to carry- You may or may not want to invest on a foldable phone stand; they're about $10.REVIEW:I do like the Genki converter dock. The main reason for buying it, like everyone else, was first, to be able to travel with it to Airbnbs, Hotels, to another state, and internationally. And this definitely makes this so much more portable to do so. Second, was to have a 2nd dock around the house so I can move the Switch from room to room with ease. With this second reason though, the Genki was not able to perform its job like I thought it would.Great For Travel and Smaller to Pack, Price Point, and Waiting to Buy:I love my Switch. I've invested a lot of money on it and so naturally, I feel like the Genki was a worthy investment as well. When I pack, this takes up about half the space in my small carry-on carry bag. It's more like a large purse. I bring the Switch in a tomtoc case with games, the Genki dock, a Pro controller in a tomtoc hard case, an HDMI cable, the Genki's power cable, and an extra USB-A to USB-C cable. Everything fits compactly and makes me feel great about bringing a piece of home with me on my travels. I feel like I waited too long to buy this, which at the time was about $60 before the inflation. Even then, I felt it was expensive at the time. But the one thing I don't regret about waiting it out is allowing the company ample time to work out all the kinks. By the time I bought this Genki dock, I had better confidence in my purchase - even if there's still a possibility of my Switch getting bricked. At least it's a lot less chance than other 3rd party docks. It's also why I didn't jump at the chance to buy their even smaller Genki dock (that doesn't include the USB-A); it's a little too new and some kinks will need to be worked out. Plus, I do have legitimate use for the extra USB-A in this bigger and older Genki dock.Does NOT auto turn on TV and change TV's input to Switch:As my official Nintendo Switch dock was able to automatically turn on the TV and change the TV's input to whichever input channel the Switch was on, I thought the Genki converter dock would have been able to do the same. The Nintendo dock can do this on both my TV's. One is a Samsung and the other a TCL brand. Without changing any of the settings, I connected the Genki dock - only to realize that the TV does not turn on automatically with this. I tried changing the TV settings after that, without any luck. Was this a big issue? No. Was it inconvenient? Yeah, a bit. A lot bit, actually. I found myself either uninterested to play the Switch, or entirely missing my Nintendo dock for its convenient auto-TV-on feature. You may say, "Wow, this lazy and picky b..." And you might be right. I also think that of myself every time I silently think how 1st-world country problem this was... and that is EVERY single time I have to search for my TV remote to turn on the TV and change the input from the Roku to the Switch.Would it have stopped me from buying this Genki dock anyways had Genki advertised that it will definitely NOT auto-turn-on my TV for me though? Probably not. I'd still buy it... and yes, at this price point (although it did take me 2 years to finally decide to take the plunge). I have to remind myself my main purpose was to buy this for traveling, and that having this as a semi-permanent fixture in my house while NOT traveling was just a bonus.A Power and Space Issue At the Hotel:I did run into a problem the 1st time I brought this to a hotel out of state. The problem had something to do with the outlet from the bed light/alarm clock/power outlet combo NOT supplying enough power to the Genki dock. I don't know how this could happen, since these things usually supply 12 amps at the least. So what happened was that I was only able to either charge from the USB-A or the USB-C, but not both together. When I moved it directly to the wall outlet or to an actual power strip, it was fine with charging 2 devices at once. I know some electrical things, like wiring a light switch, but I won't pretend to understand everything about electricity. So I have no clue why this happened. But in this case, this made me feel like the Genki dock is not that reliable for traveling - that is, I can't just bring this one Genki dock and hope it will be enough to charge ALL my devices. So from then on, I end up bringing one extra wall charger just in case the Genki dock has issues with power distribution again. The other problems I've had was that the Genki dock may possibly need to take a little more space than some of the outlets can give it.Not Too Certain If I Can Leave the Switch Continuously Plugged In:People have said it's fine to leave it plugged in, but I don't really trust that. When we drove across 3 days from a state to another state, I left my iPhone plugged into a brand new 2023 Honda. For the GPS navigation. Those 3 days ruined my iPhone's battery for good. I get a 12 hours worth of usage on a single charge now, whereas right before that I'd get 1.5 full days (32 hours) worth of usage. Perhaps it's different with the Switch, but I'm not taking any chances. So I'm very wary about leaving my Switch charged on the Genki dock for any longer than when I play it. That is, I go and unplug it every time I'm done playing it. I don't want the battery to be shot like my iPhone's. And I'm wary to tell anyone that it's fine to leave it charged for over a week or however long.Genki Dock Gets Warm:I feel like whether it's charging my Switch or not, the Genki dock stays warm when plugged into an outlet. I never felt it ever get hot, nor did I ever feel like leaving it plugged in an outlet was going to be an issue. The instructions do say not to leave it in the socket for long periods of time though. The problem is, how long is long? Is a week long? Or you mean a month? I don't go for more than 2 weeks at a time without playing the Switch at least once, so I have never taken the Genki dock off the outlet. However, I do unplug the power cable from my Switch when I don't play it, to avoid any shortened battery life in the long term.An Observation - Cables Everywhere:I think I've grown to be a massively tidy person compared to when I was in my 20's. So cables everywhere bother me a bit. The Nintendo dock is a permanent fixture, so finding a solution to hide the cables was easy. But finding a way to hide temporary cables for the Genki dock was not easy. 2 cables would just dangle out every time I unplugged the Switch from it. Not a Genki issue; just a personal observation.CONCLUSION:At the end of the day, I do have a bit of regret buying this, but I'm ultimately glad I did it anyways. The regret is mainly that it doesn't automatically turn on my TV. Yep, 1st world problems. I also worry about leaving it plugged into my Switch. So all the little things I have to do (finding the remote, looking for the right input channel on the TV, getting up to unplug the Switch every time I'm done playing) adds up, and makes me wish I just bought an extra official Nintendo dock for my 2nd room instead. Additionally, the problem with unreliable power distribution (or the Genki chip not being as smart as it should be) at hotels requires me to pack an extra wall plug just in case. BUT while I'm on the plane and I have my Switch with me, well, I'm just glad I have the Genki dock with me because otherwise, I would have very little reason to actually pack the Switch and take it with me on travels in the first place.
