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.

I use a 3rd party one without any issues for my PC.

I do have an official adapter for power though. I've seen too many folks kill there's with 3rd party ones.
