It is small enough to fit inside a padded envelope and it is only slightly larger than the 5W AC adapter that arrives with most [iPhone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-gaming-controller) charges. The mini version has a lower 20W power supply than the company's existing 30W Genki dock. Additional details are that it is only half of the length of the traditional Covert Dock and only slightly more than a third of the volume. It is also able to support 4K output at 30Hz but is unable to work with a USB-A port.
