Human Things’ Genki Covert Dock is a tiny Nintendo Switch charger and dock (updated)

Human Things is launching a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign for the Genki Covert Dock, which uses gallium nitride to create a much smaller, more power-efficient dock and charger for the Nintendo Switch and other USB-C-powered devices.

It can replace your bulky Switch dock for connecting the Nintendo hybrid gaming console to the TV, and it can replace the charger as well. It can also replace your larger MacBook chargers and display dongle and, charging multiple devices as once.
