Two New Nintendo Switch Accessories by Bionik. Are They Any Good?
One major complaint gamers had when the Nintendo Switch was released was the inability to have a hard wired connection to the Switch while in docking mode. Bionik has released the Giganet Adapter for the Nintendo Switch. Two things set this one apart from other adapters. First, the adapter fits discreetly in the USB 3.0 port inside the dock. This is the perfect space saver so you don't have an ugly dongle hanging outside the dock. Second, it is a USB 3.0 gigabit adapter. It will support 10/100/1000 bit ethernet speed. This is fantasic for online gaming, as well as the ability to download games and updates super fast. I have 200mb internet and could easily pull 100mb + every time I tested the internet speed. As an added bonus, this adapter will also work on a PC or Laptop if you would happen to need it. Overall the build quality is great, always works and you quickly forget you have it attached to the system. If you are looking for a wired adapter, this should be at the top of your list.

One of the best things about the Switch is the Joy-Cons. They are perfect for two players to play anytime. But what if you have four Joy-Con's, for game nights when you have friends and family over, but only one Switch console? How do you keep the other two Joy-Cons charged? Enter Bionik's Tetra Power, a quad port charging dock. This charging dock will allow you to charge four Joy-con's at a time. I know what you are thinking, “why do I need this?”. This charger is for a select group, but you may be a gamer that keeps your console docked at all times and uses the Joy-Con's rather then a Pro Controller. You can just connect your Joy-cons to this dock rather than having to pull them on and off the system. The dock has a built in USB cable that can plug into the Switch Dock. The charging dock matches very well with the Switch set up and has LED lights to let you know when the Joy-Con's are charging and have completed charging. Overall it is a great product that works as promised. It may not be for every Switch owner but if you have multiple Joy-Con's, this is a great way to charge them all at one time.
