The dock device maintains a compact design that will fit in well with the console when carried out of the house and will go to work providing a dedicated way to power it up. The dock will also streamline connections to a TV thanks to an [HDMI port](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dock-stand) to greatly enhance the capabilities of players. The OmniCentro Switch Dock is reported to be just one-fifth the size of the original [Nintendo Switch dock](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/legion-go-usb-c-dock), which will no doubt help to drastically enhance the portability of the OEM dock.
