After teasing it on X last week, GuliKit announced a new version of its TV Docking Station today that now supports the Switch 2 as well as previous versions of the console, including the original Switch and OLED model. The new version of the dock carries forward a similar design as the original and looks like a tiny streaming box with a magnetic dust cover that flips over to become a support for a docked Switch. It’s available starting today through GuliKit retailers including Amazon for $29.99, so it’s cheaper than Jsaux’s $46 OmniCentro Dock and Genki’s $69.99 Covert Dock 3 while adding a bit more functionality.
At 105 grams, GuliKit’s TV Docking Station for Switch 2 is considerably lighter than the 381-gram dock that Nintendo ships with its latest console. It’s also got a much smaller footprint, measuring 3.4 inches on each side and less than an inch tall. It might be a bit larger than other mobile docks that plug directly into a wall (GuliKit’s uses the Switch 2’s included AC adapter), but it’s also designed to hold your console while it’s connected to a TV, even if it’s in a protective case. On the underside of GuliKit’s dock is a sliding switch that raises the USB-C connector to accommodate most cases.

On the back of the dock is an HDMI port supporting 4K / 60Hz, 2K / 120Hz, and 1080p / 240Hz resolutions, which is well beyond the capabilities of Nintendo’s handhelds. There’s also a USB-C port for power delivery, a USB-A port for charging accessories like controllers, and a button that switches the dock between TV Docking Mode and Desktop Charging Mode. The latter mode lets you play on your Switch’s own screen while it charges in the dock instead of sending video to a TV.
