If the full-size Nintendo Switch dock feels bulky and you want to enjoy the same functionality with something that is a bit more compact and easy to carry around, the Switch Dock by pdobq is worth considering. It’s small enough to fit in a backpack and offers impressive compatibility with the Switch 2, original Switch, Switch OLED, and even the Steam Deck. 

This dock usually goes for $20, but you can now pick the one with an 8-inch cable at a $3 discount on Amazon for only $17. You also get a Switch charger worth $12 for free with your purchase when you select “Claim free item” on the product page and then choose Add to cart for the charger in the following window. The only catch is that the direct offer is marked as a limited-time deal. Such deals tend to wrap up fast, so it’s better to get yours quickly while the price is still down. As for the freebie, the stock could run out at any time, too. This is why we recommend acting now if you don’t want to miss out on the offers.

Impressive visuals

This dock plays nicely with the Switch 2, original Switch, Switch OLED, and the Steam Deck. It features USB-C 3.0, HDMI 2.0, and a 100W PD charging port. You’ll basically still have all the main connections from the original dock, but in a much smaller form. 

The dock supports 1080p at 60Hz for Nintendo Switch and Switch OLED consoles, so you can expect clear, sharp visuals that play a big role in giving you an immersive gaming experience. With compatible devices, it can also deliver up to 4K at 60Hz just as well, which especially comes in handy when you want to connect devices like your laptop or tablet to a bigger screen for streaming! Additionally, because the dock is really compact and lightweight, carrying it with you across gaming stations and on your trips won’t be an issue. It doesn’t add too much bulk to your bag and is even compact enough to slide in your pocket. 

It’s also made with the same high-quality material as the official dock, so you’re not giving up too much in terms of build quality either! The hub typically goes for $20, but you can now grab it for $17 at Amazon. That’s $3 back in savings. And as if the direct discount wasn’t enough, the retailer is also offering a Switch charger worth $12 for free with your purchase.
