Gulikit 7 in 1 Docking Station

Most docking stations are relatively austere and functional looking. They are there to serve a purpose and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. But, given the choice, wouldn’t you want something that looks good as well as being functional? Something that really hits you in the nostalgia ‘feels’? Well how about this little gem from Gulikit then?

The shell is inspired by the 1991 SNES design and will certainly appeal to those older gamers who have fond memories of the SNES or for those that really like going retro with their set up. It’s like a little ‘mini-me’ of the SNES and is actually really aesthetically pleasing! But, does it do what it’s supposed to do? Well, first of all, let’s talk about the docking itself. The cover clicks back in to 4 different settings allowing you to dock pretty much any hand-held no matter how chunky or slim – you can even slot your mobile phone in there securely. It also supports Steam Decks, AYANEO, Switch, Switch Oled and ROG Ally amongst others so should be suitable for whatever your device is. There is good ventilation right behind where your device docks so no problem of over-heating and the general open-ness of the docking station helps with this too.

As well as cool looks and plenty of room for whatever you dock, we have 3 highspeed USB-A ports, HDMI, an ethernet port, a USB-C charging port and the cable that plugs in to your handheld device, giving us our ‘7’ in the name above. In addition to this, there are slots for 4 TF cards (micro-SD cards to all our retro friends out there) to be stored and the dock supports 4K 60Hz Video Output and is compatible with 1080p and 720p Modes. Finally, the price really brings this home for me. 30 quid for a dock that looks this good is an absolute bargain in my opinion. RRP £29.99
