Can You Use a Switch 1 Dock with Switch 2?

The two dock models are different physical and electrical accessories. Follow Nintendo’s exact dock guidance; do not infer cross-generation fit from USB-C.

How to check or set it up

1. Identify the dock and console generation from the exact model label.
2. Check Nintendo’s official accessory compatibility list for fit, power, and TV output rather than relying on the USB-C connector.
3. Use the dock and AC adapter Nintendo specifies for Switch 2.
