These crowdfunded Switch docks don’t measure up to the original
The past few days have seen not one but two virtually identical-looking third-party Nintendo Switch docks hit crowdfunding sites. Over on Indiegogo, you’ll find the $59 SFANS, while Kickstarter has the slightly more expensive $69 Switch-Con to offer. Both docks try to take the features of Nintendo’s own bundled dock (which completely covers the entire console) and cut it down to a more manageable and portable size.
On paper, it’s a great goal. People have been complaining about the Switch dock since the console came out, with issues about overheating, scratching the screen, and the inconvenient size for traveling cropping up. But the two portable docks here, while certainly smaller than Nintendo’s dock, don’t feel like the way to go…
