The Ethernet port really was the only thing the dock was missing. Not only because of the speeds but also the latency for games like smash. The only thing i wonder about is: why didn’t Nintendo make a Dock like this? It really is a all in one solution for everything the original dock did wrong! A really good video again rocker and see you soon!
I agree with you.... could you imagine if Nintendo released a dock like this... how many millions would they sell? I am glad Brook has stepped in and made it as I feel like this was missing. Its crazy, but I actually have this dock hooked up to my work monitor and use it at work to program and play during my lunch break, the ease and portability is great!
I'd really love to see some in depth tests comparing GCC input lag with this dock VS the OEM adapter. I have seen some tests done before comparing different GCC adapters that have proven other brands to have slightly higher input lag, which is something that makes it difficult for me to commit to a setup that doesn't utilise an official adapter. Your section looking over the PCB was super interesting, great video!
I appreciate that comment! I wish I had better tool to measure input lag. I wouldnt mind picking up something to more effectively test input lag and that might be something I end up picking up in the future as I really enjoy making videos like this where I can tear things down and talk about them! Thanks again and I agree something to look into for sure!
I think its a good all in one solution for sure. I primarily use it on my computer monitor and I love it for that purpose. Makes doing what I do very easy!
You should review the Ultimate Gamecube Adapter that Panda Global put out. I don’t think it’s a dock, but it is powered and has four GC ports and an ethernet port
@@RockerGaming I can't wait! I've been finding stuff through Facebook marketplace, but there is nothing quite like the hunt of garage sales! Lmk if there is anything you're looking for and I'll keep an eye out!
looks cool, but will this thing fry your switch or damage the battery? I have the genki portable dock, and I only ended up buying it because of the extensive detail their engineer went in explaining how theirs won't fry their switch if left in the dock for long periods. The switch has some really weird power voltage going on. I know you mention it likely won't, but a bunch of youtubers said the Nyko ones wouldn't either lol. Does your buddy sell those gamecube adaptor shells anywhere?
I agree its always a concern. I feel good about it after using the last version of this dock for 9 months along with their repair/warranty policy and in general they have been very reputable. I specifically asked for responses from their engineers to better understand the exact process they went through and it seems very reasonable to me. I am not a EE by trade so take it for what that is worth.
They have a really great track record of producing great products for fight sticks and they are getting more involved with the switch dock scene as well as doing controller adapters for the retro and current gen market. They make a good product for sure. I am just kinda shocked they took the critical feedback from the community and released a new product, that is great!
They should. Having said that, it will unfortunately lead to shorter battery life as the mod uses the 5v line on the GCC to power the leds and microcontroller.
Yo know I dont think its for sale any more or at least I dont see it on Amazon. This one looks very similar and should be able to accommodate the same or a similar amount of accessories. amzn.to/2Qb5Y4R
So won't brick my swich is nice and all, but at 80$ the same price of the original dock it just feels safer to just minimize an official nintendo dock. Idk just what I feel. Open to thoughts though.
No hate from me with this comment. I had similar feedback for Brook. The cost of a oem dock is currently $60 from Nintendo and the OEM GCC adapter isnt made, but it can be had for $36 off Amazon. You would also need to add a usb ethernet adapter which is another $10/$15. So there is savings going down this path, but the gap is much closer. To me its all about portability and that to me is the deciding factor!
@@EydouTouchFr Only officially* compatible. After taking my phob to many locals, I find that it works with random Chinese adapters most of the time, so I was pretty hopeful the Brook dock would work :(
