I gave my Switch 2 a major upgrade for $55 less than buying another official dock — and it fits in my pocket

One of my favorite things about the original Nintendo Switch was easily being able to bring it from room to room to play on another TV. I may have started out with just one dock, but after getting another Switch for my wife and then upgrading to the Nintendo Switch OLED, I soon had plenty of them.

Even then, though, there was just one problem with the original Switch dock: it was too big for my taste. So I did what anyone with a bit of DIY know-how would do: I reshelled it to make the dock significantly smaller while still using Nintendo’s official hardware. You see, at the time, I was really worried about bricking my Switch with a third-party dock, as I had seen countless people do so online.
