Let’s Stress Test the #1 Third-Party Dock for Nintendo Switch 2

Описание: Thanks for checking out another Switch 2 News Direct episode!

Can a third-party Switch 2 dock actually handle real multiplayer pressure?

In this video, I stress test a third-party dongle dock by maxing it out with a 4-port USB hub and running Mario Kart with four wired controllers — all recorded in a single continuous take.

No cuts. No tricks. Just a real-world setup showing exactly how the dock performs when pushed.

This kind of setup is common for couch co-op, family play, and travel setups, so the goal here is simple: see if the hardware holds up under real use.

If you’ve been curious (or cautious) about third-party docks on the Switch 2, this should give you a clear look at what’s possible.

Would you trust a third-party dock for multiplayer, or do you stick with the official dock only?
