Yep - I have the pro controller. So I play it either undocked with the joycons attached or docked with the pro controller. So syncing isn't going to be an issue.

3 of 4 Divine Beasts freed in Zelda ... not long before I can go kick Calamity Ganon's backside >:)

Just got a set of SoundMagic E50 IEMs for use with the Switch, and waiting on new stock of the pro controller to arrive with Amazon. 

Worried about scratching the Switch by putting it in the dock!? Just get a USB 3 type C extension cable and plug that in to the dock instead, leaving the Switch sitting on a near by surface. Or, take the dock apart and make a smaller version with the parts. Or, 3D print a new dock...

WHY does it scratch in its own dock in the first place? QA dept asleep? Rushed to market without field-testing?

It's not necessarily a widespread problem.  It might have been someone with a bad dock.  As far as I know, the issue has only been reported by one person...

I stand corrected!
I've only docked my Switch once so far.  I like being able to play Zelda wherever!

It doesnt. Takes a retard to scratch it, plenty of those around though. Saw some hater video on youtube claiming it's a disasterous launch or whatever.. lol.. i've had 0 problems.

You'd need to be a touch ham-fisted to scratch the Switch putting it in the dock. It isn't a snug fit, so no need to slid the unit down the front or rear rails. Plus, there's a sprung guide at the base for the Type-C port... 

If the user insists on jamming It in like a three year old playing with blocks, then damage is to be expected.

Well I guess some retards ended up with a bent dock.  See thread I posted with pics.  Or maybe they're just not butt-hurt fanboys.

Good point! The target market of 5 year olds shouldn't have this problem.
