Budget USB-C Docks Bring Switch 2 Compatibility Under $70

Two USB-C dock options for Switch 2 prove you don’t have to overspend: Jsaux’s OmniCentro Dock at about $46 and Genki’s Covert Dock 3 at $70. Both support up to 4K 120Hz output (though Switch 2 TV mode caps at 4K/60), can scale down to 1440p/1080p at 120Hz with HDR, and offer 65W USB‑C PD charging plus a spare USB‑A port. Genki is pricier mainly for design (translucent orange accents) rather than extra features, and both docks feature upgradeable firmware. They’re handy for travel or multi‑device setups, especially since a November 2025 console update briefly blocked some third‑party docks.

WhisperPair flaw lets hackers hijack Google Fast Pair Bluetooth devices

Security researchers warn of WhisperPair, a vulnerability in Google Fast Pair that can let attackers remotely hijack Fast Pair-enabled headphones and spy on users, with mic access and location tracking possible within about 14 meters and a median hijack time of 10 seconds. The flaw affects more than a dozen devices from around 10 manufacturers (including Sony, Nothing, JBL, OnePlus, and Google). Patches depend on manufacturers and may take weeks or months; users should install official apps for firmware updates and consider factory resets if concerned.

While there may be some latency when using steering wheel controls, the adapter works well and even receives firmware updates.
