Black Friday Nintendo Switch deals have hit the Genki Covert Dock this week, offering up a brand new record low price

I always look for an excuse to talk about the Covert Dock whenever I’m covering a major sales event, but this drop to just$39.99 at Amazondemands a whole spiel. Even previous Black Friday Nintendo Switch deals haven’t dropped those numbers that far, and considering you’re spending just over half the asking price of an official Nintendo Switch dock I’d recommend this offer to just about anyone (Switch Lite-rs aside).

This offer stands on the original model, and I can see why it’s hit now. Genki has just released a new Alpine collection, with a slightly smaller body and a sleeker white appearance. However, for the value you’re getting here I’d certainly stick to the older model today. In fact, I’d argue it’s thebest Black Friday Nintendo Switch dealI’ve seen for anyone who already owns a console so far.

Genki Covert Dock |$74.99$40 at AmazonSave $35 -I constantly watch for price drops on the Genki Covert Dock, just to get more players on board with this magical accessory. With a brand new record low price (I’ve never seen this drop below $50 before) this is an offer I’m shouting about today.

Buy it if:

✅ You regularly travel with your Switch✅ You want to use other accessories in docked mode✅ You want an all-in-one charger

Don’t buy it if:

❌ You want to pack as light as possible (the Mini is smaller)❌ You want fast charging capabilities

If it’s not already obvious by now, I’m recommending the Genki Covert Dock to just about any Nintendo Switch or Nintendo Switch OLED owner. It’s completely changed how I travel with my console - all you need for big screen gameplay is a USB-C charging cable (supplied in the box) and an HDMI from your TV. The additional USB-A port is exclusive to this larger model (you won’t find it on theCovert Dock Mini), and allows for a wired controller or wireless gaming headset dongle as well. It really is a full setup in your pocket.

Today’s Black Friday Nintendo Switch deals also have an unbeatable price. At $39.99 you’re saving $35 on the original (lofty) $74.99 price tag, bringing the Covert Dock down to easy gifting territory. If you know someone with a standard or OLED edition console (again, this isn’t for the Nintendo Switch Lite), it’s a go-to.

I use the Covert Dock every day. This isn’t just for travel - I have a secondary setup at my desk for late-night play when the TV is already booked up but the smaller screen won’t quite cut it. I use it when I travel at the weekends. I even use it when I have no intention of playing (having access to both USB-C and USB-A charging ports cuts down on the amount of adapters I’m bringing as well).

Of course, we’re rounding up all of this year’s biggestBlack Friday gaming dealsright here, as well as the latestBlack Friday PS5 dealsandBlack Friday Xbox dealsto boot.
