I want to get a second dock. Are third party options good? (lemmy.one)

I have one connected to my Television, but it's a hassle for games to unhook for games I want to play on the monitor for better latency like rhythm games.

I had heard of some third party ones potentially damaging switches back in the day, and wondered if they have improved since then.

We've had success with this one, the kids love it and it travels great, we've used it all over the world and regularly at home. We are US based but bought it on vacation in the UK.
