Amazon has made me wait for Prime Day deals on some of my favorite Nintendo Switch accessories, but a day two lightning offer has just kicked one of the big dogs down to a record-low price. The Genki Covert Dock Mini has been a mainstay in my Switch travel kit, and it's now cheaper than ever.
The 20W dock / charger is available for just $39.99 at Amazon right now (was $49.99). That's a $10 discount on an already cheap accessory, but one that knocks it further down the price scale than I've ever seen. This adapter has only ever hit $44.99 in previous sales, so this is a rare treat.
There is a caveat here - you'll need to move fast. Prime Day lightning deals don't last forever, and this one's already 13% claimed at the time of writing. Sure, some offers can stick around at that position for a few hours - but the Covert Dock Mini is a popular piece of kit, and the competition's going to be fierce for this one. It's one of the best Prime Day Nintendo Switch deals I've seen so far - if you can get there in time.
If you want a little more juice, though, I'd point you to the Genki Covert Dock proper. It's on sale for 20% off at Amazon right now (down to $47.99, was $59.99) but boosts your specs considerably.

Should you buy the Genki Covert Dock Mini?
The Mini is the smaller, cheaper, version of the full-fat Genki Covert Dock, but it's still a powerful piece of tech to have in your arsenal. It essentially works as a fully portable dock, so you can play on pretty much any big-screen you find. I mostly use it while travelling, hooking up to hotel TVs or even my friend's displays with just spare HDMI and USB-C cables. I also use it around the house day to day, though - it functions just fine as an extra charger and stops me from unplugging my main dock when I want to play on a monitor upstairs.
There's a but here. The Mini version does drop a few key specs of the newer Genki Covert Dock. The larger model treats us to full 45W charging, an extra USB-A slot for a controller, and it's capable of 4K60Hz HDMI output. Considering it's only $8 more than the Mini right now, it's the better buy overall - though it will add a larger footprint to your carry case.
