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.
