One of the features of the Switch is that it can be docked and used as a regular console. But if you thought the Nintendo Switch dock was a complex piece of hardware, it actually isn’t.
It’s mostly a plastic enclosure with a small box that connects the different input cables to the Switch’s USB-C connection. The box basically takes the USB-C input from the Switch and splits it into an HDMI output and USB outputs, while offering a way to power and charge the console.
And that’s about it. Which is surprising that Nintendo charges $90 for the dock. Keep that in mind if you lose the original one or something happens to it.
The dock is basically a USB-C hub that provides power to the device and HDMI/USB output. The Nintendo Switch dock has one internal USB 3.0 port and two external USB 2.0 ports.
Here’s a new video that shows the dock being opened:
