Play your
phone games
on your TV.

We’re starting with selected USB-C iPhones and Samsung Galaxy phones that support wired video output. A USB-C port on its own isn’t enough. We’ll publish an exact tested list before taking orders; no phone is validated with Dockade yet.

Tell us your model after joining. It helps us prioritize testing.

Games that work with your phone, external display and controller. Major titles such as Death Stranding Director’s Cut and Resident Evil 4 already have versions for selected iPhones. The exact device and game requirements matter.

Games are sold separately. These are examples of phone games, not verified Dockade demos. Tell us what you play so we can test what matters.

No. Supported iPhones can send up to 4K at 60 Hz through a compatible HDMI adapter. That describes the display connection, not the resolution or frame rate a game renders.

Actual gaming performance depends on the phone, title and settings. Dockade’s final display modes and cooling benefits still need prototype testing. Read the gaming and cooling notes.

For someone whose favorite games already run well on their phone, that’s the possibility we want to explore. A dock won’t add console exclusives or turn every phone into the same gaming machine. Think of Dockade as another way to enjoy the games your phone can already play.

That’s part of the plan. We’re developing TV docking and charging support for the original Nintendo Switch (including the 2019 revision), Switch OLED, and Steam Deck LCD and OLED. None has been validated with a Dockade prototype yet; we’ll confirm the tested models and power requirements before taking orders.

Switch 2 support is under evaluation and isn’t confirmed. Switch Lite does not support TV output. For supported handhelds, the dock’s extra fan can be switched off while their own internal cooling keeps running.

No. Use a supported Bluetooth controller paired to your phone, or connect a compatible wired accessory to USB-C DATA with the appropriate cable. Support depends on the accessory, phone and game. There’s no controller bundle planned.

Connect your charger to the socket labelled POWER. The adjacent DATA socket is for a compatible USB accessory; it is not a second charger input. The attached lead connects the dock to your phone.

One fan draws room air from underneath and directs it onto the exposed back of the phone. Four low silicone pads leave an air gap above the fan grille. The circular orange dial adjusts fan speed and has a fan-only off position. The dock is designed around bare phones in stationary, horizontal use.

We still need to measure temperature, noise and sustained gaming performance on a physical prototype. There are no verified cooling or frame-rate gains yet.

Expect some fan noise nearby, especially at higher speeds. The 60 mm Noctua reference fan is manufacturer-rated at 19.8 dBA on its own. That’s a component rating, not a measurement of Dockade; the final production fan may differ. The orange dial lets you adjust fan speed.

The phone and grille change the airflow and can affect the sound. We still need to measure the complete dock during sustained gameplay, both nearby and from a typical sofa distance. We’ll publish the fan setting, measurement distance and room background with the results.

The price target covers the dock and its attached phone lead. Plan to bring your own phone, controller, TV, suitable USB-C charger, charging cable and HDMI cable. We’ll confirm the full contents and power requirements before launch. Taxes and shipping aren’t included in this target.

Target shipping: late 2027. We’ll share progress and any timing changes by email.

Joining is free and puts you on the list for build updates and launch news. It doesn’t reserve a unit or place an order. We’re not taking payments.
