Skull & Co
4.0
(7)
"There are 2 recommended docks (aside from the Odin Super Dock obviously) for the regular Odin 2 that should work with the portal: - Skull & Co Jump gate docks"
"Thanks to a few users here who also have used this dock that small notch in the dock is easily removable. With it removed, and the dock set to No Case mode, it does securely fit the Mini."
"Have the same one for Odin 2. Works perfectly, just make sure you have charging separation on."
"There is a notch next to the USB-C which prevents thicker handhelds from charging. That can be removed by just pulling it. It's intended functionality, not a mod."
"It fits the mini: https://www.reddit.com/r/OdinHandheld/comments/1kcaa44/best_dock_alternative_ive_found/mq18sow/?context=3"
"For those wondering if it works with the Odin 2 Mini, it does. You have to remove a notch in the case and set the USB to the low position."
"It fits the mini, I have had this dock for a long time because i bought it for the switch. I'm using it now for the Odin 2 Mini. There is a notch in the dock that is removable."
