Hey! Are you one of those GRcadians whom always plays your Nintendo Switch in docked mode? Would you be interested in a device that allows you to plug eight carts into your Switch at once? Forget about switching carts... just press a button!

Okay, now this device probably isn't gonna be useful to many of you. But if you're a "docked" player you may be interested. It's available from Amazon for £42.99 - click.

I believe that Pedz uses his Switch in docked mode 99% of the time... let's page him in!

Note: On the product page there are two versions; manual button press or a remote press option.

Sounds bit dodgy to be honest, like I feel it could've brick my Switch. Like there's unofficial docks out there and I'd have heard they can strawberry float your system over :dread:

That and it would be bit useless if it's within your reaching, Switch is in front of my monitor so I just change carts anyway but may be useful for those who has it far away.

I don't mind getting up and charging the cart.

Yeah, I was concerned about that, too, Seven - although the guy in the vid seemed to get on okay with it.

Great stuff, Pedz! Clearly a man who doesn't mind a bit of fitness :datass: .

Yeah, I suspected that the product maybe wouldn't appeal to most folk here; including me as around 90% of my Switch gaming is in handheld mode. But, hey, maybe there's one or two who could find this device handy.

I play mainly in docked and am so used to being able to switch, that I get more-than-average-annoyed when I have to switch between Ring Fit and BotW (my only two real carts unless you count Just Dance wherever that is) that this idea actually holds some appeal to me...

(though probably not enough to bite)

I have seen cheaper versions on AliExpress

No use to me as 95percent of my usage is as a handheld.

I'm a "physical games in docked mode" kinda guy, but I really only play one game at a time (one of the reasons why why Quick Resume on Series X has never been as useful as I thought it would be), so this really is a niche of a niche of a niche product.
