I got this specifically because I wanted to plug it into the ethernet port of my router for streaming games online.
I noticed straight away what good quality the docking station is. It is well-made, the colours are vibrant, and the switch sits in position comfortably.
If, like me, you are finding that connectivity is an issue during gameplay, then I would highly recommend this switch dock with ethernet port.
I hope this review was helpful for you, please let me know. Thank you for reading it.
I expected larger a much larger unit so when it arrived i was really impressed with the compactness,
As clearly stated in the product description the cables are not included, do make sure your tv has a hdmi connector as the oler tvs do not have this.
Great bit of kit and cheaper than the genuine item that does the same job.
No glitching, fast transfer, great picture quality, great price for the gamer in your family and perfect for family game nights.
Appears well made and came in the traditional red and blue colours as advertised.
I ordered the Nintendo Switch Dock with Ethernet Port, Portable TV Docking Station Replacement for Nintendo Switch with HDMI and USB 3.0 Port, Foldable Switch Dock Station for my children’s Nintendo switch. It works exactly how it is supposed to and because it is small in size, it has been great for us to take it away on holiday. It has good quality and very easy to use. Really pleased with this and I feel it is good value for money.
Looking at other reviews this seems to be a very hit and miss product.
I have to say that it has worked perfectly for us so far with our Switch and it has replaced the original dock we had that broke not long ago.
It was easy to set up and took no time at all. At 35.99 it’s cheaper than an official dock but it’s down to the individual I suppose as to whether they want to spend a bit more and know exactly what they are getting.
For me personally, this has been a great dock so far.
I think the video quality is not as good as the Nintendo dock but it’s usable.
This works well. Really simple to set up and use. It’s lightweight so easy to carry around if needed. Really good value for money.
“Long Story Short”
Small device
Very light, it almost feels like nothing is in the shell 🙂
Works great
Value for money 10 out of 10
his is a great compact alternative to the full size official dock. very small and fits my oled model on perfect. looks really good
Brilliant! Easy to use and set up. Small so
Can be taken anywhere with you to keep the kids happy
This Nintendo Switch dock from Knofarm is 2 in 1 where it supports screen projection and it can be used as a desktop game stand.
The dock has an Ethernet port that allows you to have a more stable network connection for a better gaming experience. It is smaller, more portable and lightweight than the original switch dock making it very easy to bring and store anywhere. It also has an HDMI adapter that supports HD games so you will be able to get the same image quality as the original dock, supporting a 4K HD display.
In addition, it has a foldable design that makes it very convenient to carry around. This one is also plug and play so you don’t have to worry about installing any software or applications for this to work.
Upon seeing it the first time, it literally looks like a toy because it is very small and it is made of plastic. The good thing is that it is not a toy because it works perfectly, plus it is very easy to install and set up. I like that it has air outlet holes on the side to keep in a normal or low temperatures during use or charging. Not to mention, I have read several reviews of this product and lots of them are telling that the device they’ve got didn’t work, but luckily mine works flawlessly.
All in all, this is a great alternative or spare for your original Nintendo Switch dock. I just hope that it will last long as the quality is a bit off.
This arrived in a compact retail box and is done out in the same red and blue colours as my daughter’s Switch. It is very compact and lightweight, with a black arm which swivels round 180-degrees to expose the connected port. The Switch simply docks onto it.
On the rear you have a USB-C power, HDMI, and Ethernet ports. On the left & right sides you USB-A ports. One thing you do need to be aware off when powering this, it does actually require the original Nintendo charging adapter, otherwise it will not work. This is a bit of a shame, as this dock would have been ideal for travel if you could just take a normal USB-C cable with you.
I connected this up to one of my 32″ WQHD monitors, more for convenience purposes for doing this review and it worked fine. I also plugged in an ethernet cable at the rear and was able to get online with zeros issues.
This is quite handy for us as my daughter can have a dock in her bedroom and then one downstairs if she want to play on a bigger screen or the projector.
I do not know how this compares to other third-party docks, as this is the first, I have tried.
I hope you found this review & photos interesting, informative, and useful. Thanks for reading.

Updated Version Nintendo Switch Dock with Ethernet Port, Portable TV Docking Station Replacement for Nintendo Switch with HDMI and USB 3.0 Port, Foldable Switch Dock Station. Not good.
28.04 at time of review. 4*.
It’s legit a well constructed purpose built bit of kit. It’s collapsible, compact and works very simply. Came with clear instructions. I’d recommend it to anyone, item exactly as described. It is surprisingly small, but equally it’s sturdy and well balanced and looks good too. Easier to pack and travel.
Recommended
This is very small, much smaller than the original dock, but does the job perfectly okay.
Every connected okay, and the Switch sits on the dock perfectly, very neat.
Ideal for taking with you, its so small it will fit easily in side our games case.
A great little dock, no issues, works very well.
Offers extra usb slot and also has an ethernet port if you want to play games online.
Able to charge and play at the same time.
I love this little Switch dock as it means I no longer have to hold the entire Switch when I play Zelda.
I can set it on this dock and just use a controller, so much better!!
The dock is really well made and I love the design.
Its smaller than another dock that I had but didn’t use as it was too bulky.
I shall be using this all the time!
Recommended
Fab lightweight design doesn’t take up as much space. Very well made
I got this dock to test for two reasons, charging and also the gigabit ethernet port, I’m happy to report it’s a great dock and keeps our switch charged and also with the connection via ethernet everything online is better, downloading, latency in games, build quality is very good and it matches the switch perfectly, also very good value for money, highly recommended to all.
This little Nintendo Switch dock is absolutely fantastic!
I have the full Nintendo Switch TV set, which comes with a rather large black plastic dock – it’s imposing and not particularly pleasant to look at – it also doesn’t have an ethernet port so you have to purchase an ethernet to USB adapter if you want a wired connection (and trust me you will want a wired connection with the large size of some of the games you download wired makes the downloads so much quicker) the problem with the original dock is that the ethernet adapter doesn’t fit nicely in the back of the dock so the whole set up is messy!
This little dock is honestly a game changer! It’s very small and compact & the colours match my switch console so looks great! The dock has a HDMI port, an RJ45 Ethernet socket for a fully wired internet connection and a USB C port for the Nintendo power adapter.
After connecting the 3 cables and plugging in the switch console the switch screen turned off and the video/image appeared on my 32″ Samsung HDMI monitor. In a nut shell it just worked, and i had no issues connecting this dock up and getting it to work. I also tried it on my living room TV and again no issues. The dock has a little foldaway flip stand which you rest your switch on when you plug it into the dock.
The original dock as i said is much larger, but equally it does offer screen protection as the switch is placed inside a protected slot. This dock affords zero protection to the screen but i would much rather use this dock for the size than the original – which i have now placed in the cupboard!
So would i recommend this dock – Heck yes… i think it is great! It’s very compact size means we can now take the switch away on our holidays and use it on a hotel TV.
Top Tip: If you find the dock doesn’t work with your TV and it’s a newer style 4k TV, then check your setting and ensure HDMI deep colour is turned OFF for the HDMI port you have connected the dock too. The Switch does not support deep colour mode. I had this issue, but it’s a very quick fix.

Bought a Nintendo switch. The Dock just doesn’t work and apparently it is so common with them. So disappointing as they are not cheap!!!! My son was gutted but there is no way I could get it repaired or buy another. I bought one of these and its great we can now use the switch on TV.
Ideal for the little one to use her device. Highly recommended
Works out of the box with no issues, strangely the nintendo switch itself thinks its the real deal and wants me to update the dock. dont do it it wont work.
bring anywhere u travel like metro train or long travel to insert to plug to play device without reducing charge to save on playing time
My son is thrilled with this little device! Works perfectly- well worth the money!
Great little gadget to dock my Switch on…handy that it has some spare USB ports too
At the beginning I was scared to buy it and was looking for the genuine switch but I works easy to use and good value for money
I use this as a second charger when my 2 young kids come over as main switch charger I’d in livingroom on big TV with there ps4 this one stays in my room just to charge mainly but can go on my tv in bedroom too
Does the job, very small and folds up, so great for taking away rather than the much larger Nintendo one I have.
Bought this as a replacement for the original switch stand as it stopped working. This works just as well and also very compact. The stand for the switch folds flat on to the base so takes up no room at all. also has a USB port the same as the original stand.
Does everything well! Just can’t watch YouTube when docked for some reason. But I didn’t get it to watch YouTube when docked, so all in all can’t knock it.
Works perfectly, item exactly as described. It is surprisingly small, but equally it’s sturdy and well balanced and looks good too. Easier to pack and travel with than official Nintendo equivalent.
Great lightweight little device. So easy to travel with due to it being so light and compact. Holds the switch on well and works perfectly fine. Definitely a great accessory to have when travelling from place to place with a Nintendo switch.
Really good product does exactly the same job as the original switch stand really sturdy and not bulky really impressed with it for the price.
I’ve always had the official dock attached to my main TV although at times wished it was a little more portable than it is, it’s a huge headaches removing all the leads to drag the dock to a different TV. With that in mind, I jumped at the chance to use this dock, I just hoped it would be as good as the original… I need not of worried, it’s a fantastic little box, sporting the red and blue colouring of the switch.
It doesn’t come with a power adapter and it’s crucuial you get one rated the same as the manufacturers issue if you want to ensure it keeps its charge. I simply attach all leads to the new dock and keep it with me when out and about, you simply need to attach the hdmi and power and your done.
Brilliant device and much cheaper than sourcing an official dock.
Great for travelling as it’s super portable and very light. Very easy to connect and works well. No fault so far.
This dock is such a compact size, it looks great on the side and doesn’t take up much room at all
I like the red and blue aspect as it’s a little different than the usual black stands.
I would say to be careful with the little ones using as it’s not very sturdy so could break easily.
It provides good sound and image quality, a small difference to the official one but not noticeable enough to affect play
This is a great little docking station that is compact and useful. Even if you still have the original dock, this docking station is still great as an additional accessory for travelling or use in another room. You just need an additional HDMI cable and a USB charging cable.
A great little accessory that can fit in any case and it is for purpose.
It’s working but arrived in different colours… better than the original dock, good for cooling the system.
I was quite surprised how small this dock is, absolutely perfect for travelling. Small, neat, well made and does the job without any hassle. Gave this to my son, his original dock got ‘broken’ and taped together, still works but looks a mess. This a lot smaller and although at first thought it seemed a bit less sturdy its actually fine, it was more the way my son was using it that made it feel a bit too small at first, he was just a bit heavy handed. Looks good, connects perfectly and great for travelling.
We bough a switch second hand and the guy had lost the charging block thing so we bought this and it works amazing and perfect and look so much nicer than the actual charging block well worth the money and it’s compact aswell which is even bette
My son wanted this to play his switch on his computer and he’s really happy. It’s a very small unit and much smaller than he was expecting but it does the job so has no complaints. The build and plastic quality seems good too.
Quality little dock for the Nintendo Switch. Such a good idea and it’s so compact, that it’s perfect for taking in your suitcase when travelling abroad. Easy to plug in and set up, and the Switch sits nicely on it with no issues. Very happy with it.
This docking station has a smaller footprint than the original and so it takes up less room and is ideal for limited space or for taking on holiday.
Nicely presented and well made, this works perfectly well
Good value and Recommended
We got this for our son to take when he flies on his own to visit his aunt. Carry on bag space is so limited, and this is just slightly larger then a deck of cards. We have used it for a few days before he leaves to make sure it works, and while it’s not as sturdy as the official dock, it works great and is a fraction of the size. If you travel a lot, this is a good dock for you.
This dock works fully as expected, with no problems. The three inputs on the back- power (USB-C), a USB 3 connection and an HDMI connection, work first time and popping your switch onto a TV, without bringing the heftier Nintendo original dock, is a doddle. To be honest I was expecting there to be some niggles, but it works straight away, and the Switch behaves actually as on the regular dock.
Hardware-wise, it is a small device and just faintly flimsy. Dropping the Switch onto the USB-C connector takes more care and precision than on the official dock. Once docked, the fact the dock is so lightweight and so much narrower than the Switch means that it is naturally quite wobbly, to the extent that I wouldn’t recommend it for wobbly situations like car journeys, but for use on a proper table, especially in TV Mode, it’s perfectly adequate.
The colour scheme is a half-decent imitation of the Animal Crossing colour scheme (unfortunately we don’t have the matching joy-cons) and compared to other non-Nintendo products for the Switch, this one does do a good job of looking consistent with the proper branding- same shade of black in the plastic, etc.
The immediate plug-and-play nature of this dock, and the tiny size and convenience of it, mean it’s definitely 5 stars from me.
This Nintendo switch dock is perfect to take on the go. The back rest is simple to unfold and collapse. The dock itself is small and lightweight and easily fits inside my carry case.
Hooking everything up was straightforward and compared to the original dock, this one in comparison, takes up minimal space. My sons’ play for several hours throughout the day and it hasn’t overheated so the ventilation works well enough.
This dock will be perfect for when I’m travelling with my kids. It’s compact, easy to use and conveniently fits into the storage case with my Nintendo Switch.
Whilst this might not be as sturdy as the original Switch dock, this is a perfect mini dock for travelling or to use in a different room in the house.
This is really tiny. I was so surprised when it arrived and saw the size. Despite this, it still works well and is easy to setup and use. We tested it in place of the existing dock, but intend to use it on my son’s upstairs monitor.
This is fantastic to use to take on holiday with you. We often take the Switch, but my son has to pack all the original dock, etc, which can take up a lot of room. This dock, quite literally, fits in your pocket.
Overall, this is such a good device and will get plenty of use in the future.
This arrived in perfect condition in a branded box.
My grandson has a Nintendo Switch and this device means that it can be attached constantly to the TV rather than having disconnect and connect whenever he wants to play on it. This device is tiny and doesn’t take up any space and because its constantly connected it helps to keep the wires tidy and hidden.
Some of the best ideas are simple and don’t need to be huge things always on display, this is one of those good ideas.
I can’t imagine any issues arising with this product but should any arise I will amend this review accordingly.
The console sits neatly on the top of the TV unit and is easy to connect to the TV, you simply connect the power adapter and HDMI cable as you would with the original dock.
If you travel frequently with your switch and like to always have the option of playing on a TV, this dock is ideal! and good value for money.
And means I can take my switch from room to room when someone else wants to use the main TV!
Picture and sound quality appear fine with no loss. The device itself is TINY (see photo) and fits in a picket easily, it has a hinged design for easy storage and to protect the docking port. The colour scheme matches the traditional switch however it doesn’t look out of place next to my all black variant.
The device appears to be made of high quality plastic without any visible mould lines or poor casting which adds to the overall aesthetic.
Highly recommend
