- Will This Dock Brick Your Nintendo Switch?!
The official Nintendo Switch dock is expensive, so maybe you're considering a 3rd party dock instead. The Skull & Co Jumpgate dock comes in at around 40$ or £40 here in the UK but didn't 3rd party docks brick Nintendo Switch consoles in the past? In this video we take a look at why Nintendo Switch systems were getting bricked from 3rd party docks, how it could be resolved and my thoughts on the Jumpgate dock by Skull & Co!

Always been a fan of Skull & Co, currently using their analog cover + carrying case for my switch lite
Awesome stuff :)
This dock is amazing I bought a different charging dock for my switch and I love it. I’m glad skull and Co is serious about testing their products and making sure their products aren’t faulty.
Yeah I'm happy about that too! :D
I have one of these and love it! Did a lot of research into the whole bricking issue. Skull & Co. video they made about this is spot on and put my mind at ease. It's permanently hooked up to my other TV and I've taken the smaller slide out version away with me; that feature is just incredible. Purely portable to be used anywhere. Great purchase :)
Awesome, so glad you love it too! :D
How your switch right now, did you still using it?
@@BoluKeju Yes, been using it for ages. Switch still perfect 👌🏻
Still using it? Would love to hear a review after all this time. Planning to get this as well
Is it safe? Still working ur switch?
Excellent video! Will an OLED Switch with a Satisfye ZenGrip Pro Gen 3 case on it fit in this dock? Also, will a regular OG switch with a Mumba Blade series case fit in this dock? Thanks!!
I use those dock all the time. WITHOUT THE ORIGINAL NINTENDO AC plug. I have the OLED model and this thing goes with me in my switch travel bag. I recommend as a primary or portable as I do.
Ooooo risky ;)
I had mine when they were still doing the SNES theme jump gate and it’s my « on the go » dock and still work perfectly
Awesome
bought this straight away this is amazing
I am tempted to do it, but then again i trust nothing and fear my Switch charging port will be fried lol, I think ill go with the mini dock DIY project i've seen everywhere...
I have one and loving it ..very handy and works well on my Oled.
So glad you like it
Is it still working?
and this dock fits into their Skull & Co GripCase Carrying Case as well
Yes that's true!
I had the dock for over a year. I love it, but the plastic where the power goes has warped due to heat. I was a little skeptical about it. So i stopped using it in the event of bricking. So use at your own risk! I use their case but never again their dock.
For those wondering about needing to use the official charger, Skull and Co. Sells their own 45w charger WITHOUT any protocols like PPS or PD. I have my OG switch connected to their dock and their charger and it hasn't bricked in the years that I've had it.
Idk about this dock, but when I tried to use my own GAN charger which is rated for 65w but adaptable to 45w for switch, it has an issue when you connect it to the official dock (The warning that it'll make before it bricks), so I'm kinda wary of trying to use alternative chargers
@@tydshiin5783 Trust me, my switch hasn't been bricked yet
I'm here for them wilhelm screams :D
Hahahah too right!
I have this problem recently with this dock and my OLED Switch that image output is like 480p. Never happened before with my old Swtich v1
Hey, is your dock the one with one USB A port in the back only?
I wish Nintendo would come out with a portable dock. Would be epic I reckon.
I know right me too!
It would be cool, although I feel like they wouldn't want to do it since the whole reason the original dock is as big and clunky as it is is because they want to cement the idea into the general public that the Nintendo switch is a home console that can become portable and not what it actually is which is a portable that is able to be docked to a television.
They don’t care about what’s easy and what people want. They say “this is all you get” and we all simp and buy it
Get the extreme rate dock. You have to take apart your dock but is pretty easy and makes your dock portable.
Still working fine after a year of use? Do you recommend it?
since it doesnt come with a power supply the price difference isnt really there. nice additional features though.
Good point actually BUT you'll already have a power supply if you own a switch regardless so you won't need to purchase another
Question:
You seem to have the Jumpgate that supports the OLED Switch. I'm wondering if this is backwards compatible with the Regular V2 Switch. And is the black version of the Jumpgate not for the OLED?
Yes they're compatible with all Switches, the black is just a different colour so you can match your setup if you prefer it. You can see this by going to their website directly
@@128KB in the stores, the white one is the only version indicated to be oled compatible. So that's kinda confusing. I have the V2 Switch but in case I'd upgrade to the OLED, at least I don't have to also change accessories.
@@128KBthere's a Pro version of it, is that what the white one is?
2:16 ironically many Anker Chargers as well as skull & Co's own charger are probably safer and more reliable than the original one made by Nintendo (I mean that would be expected the one that Nintendo makes literally comes with the switch no extra cost and an Anker charger was made specifically to be a high quality charger).
Unfortunately most people don't know that and you have to tell them to only use the one that came with their switch otherwise they'll buy the first cheap crap they see on site without knowing the difference. People should have higher standards when it comes to chargers and power supplies because these things literally have the ability to destroy your stuff if they fail or don't work right.
Yeah it's generalising for the majority of the population that have no idea
How come mine was missing SD card slots and a whole USB port is this a fake or old version ?
Good day, may i know if i can use the 45w ac adapter of skull & co to power the jumpgate?
Yes should be fine :)
Since it's still using Nintendo's proprietory charger I don't see the bricking issue. It's mostly from using 3rd party charging solutions correct?
Yeah I explain all that and more in the video
Does it increse the fps from handheld (30fps) to tv mode (60fps), like the official nintendo dock does?
If the game supports it then yeah
@@128KB thank you for the Quick reply.
I've been trying to get info on that for hours but didn't find anything. For games like splatoon 2, it is very much necessary to play with the docked mode in 60fps.
All docks have that feature because it's not actually the dock that does it, it's the Nintendo switch itself that changes modes and overclocks itself when it receives the correct charging voltage and signal to switch.
Just ordered from the link in the description because of the video, fingers crossed i'll have a good experience with it ! will update this comment once i've received the dock.
Hope you enjoy it! 😁
@@128KB its very good, thanks for the recommendation!
Did you still you still using it? How was your switch right now?
still good, better than the regular dock for sure!@@BoluKeju
Is it still safe to use as of 2023?
I use it for 1 year now and never had a problem until today. My switch could not turn on. Used the official one and it returned to life….
Interesting! Did you contact Skull & Co regarding this issue?
Are you updating your jump gate ?
how is it? are still using the jumpgate in everday use? did your switch get bricked? hope to hear from you soon
Working absolutely fine so far, I use it very often:)
@@128KB is it possible for you to make a video update with it after 6-8months?
@@vinbeengaming93 I don't see why not :)
@@128KB looking forward to it
It just bricked mine
Can I use this with my laptop?
To add, the jumpgate fits on the skull & Co. max carry case on the space under the switch.
Yes it does! I did forget to mention that
That sold me. Everything I need to play in a case that doesn't fill the trunk of my car
its sound interesting item , maybe this item can become my second dock
Definitely worth a look
does this dock get firmware updates too, or is it fingers crossed a firmware update in the future doesnt make this perfectly good dock into a a switch killer?
will the core work with the steam deck?!
Do you have the testing video?
Google skull & co dock and you'll find their blog about all their tests
Skull & Co. is such an incredible company with affordable accessories
They are good!
Can this be used on my samsung galaxy a tab 8 as monitor of my nintendo switch oled?
No idea 🤣
am using the same dock, but my switch got bricked, error 2002-3580. lost all my progress on my pokemon games :T
100% contact Skull & Co about that, googling the error it seems its an internal hardware failure, seems lots of people have had that whilst using even the official dock. I'd contact Skull & Co and Nintendo support too!
@@128KB tnx, already sent them an email
Did you still you still using it? How was your switch right now?
I've never had an issue with mine!
I love it but it doesn’t turn the switch on when I press the home button on my controller
Have you tried it with the JoyCon? Could be a controller issue, not all controllers wake from sleep
@@128KB thanks for your great video I really enjoy 😊 I preordered from Ali baba website after your lovely presentation 😎
can you use any 45 whatts charger?
Just use the official nintendo power cable
Mr m don’t know nothing don’t listen
Hello how's the update today? 12.20.23. Is it still okay? Thank you.
Still no issues :)
Hey! Is there a difference between the Jumpgate Pro and this white one?
Can't seen to find the White one you are using anywhere not even on the official website of
skill n Co.
Please and thank you !
Hey, quick question will the Genki portable switch docks brick your switch?
10:14
is this reliable
I've had no issues at all
im recently one of your subscribers and overwhelmingly agree on your opinions BUT not on this. sorry but will only believe you if truthfully you use it 24/7 for at least a year and use it heavily for long hours. otherwise, im not buying to any 3rd party products like that. not risking my switch.
Totally respectable decision there, without looking at the reports and testing made by Skull & Co I wouldn't use it either. I certainly wouldn't use any other third party dock but I'm confident the Jumpgate is legit. Give me a year and I'll do an update video 😉
@@128KBis there an update video yet?
Sold
Hope you enjoy it :)
No ethernet?
Sadly not
Yes here first
