The Nintendo Switch, when placed in its dock, has a total height of 4.88 inches (124 mm).
The docked height refers to the combined vertical measurement of the Nintendo Switch console once it is fully inserted into its dedicated dock. This measurement is crucial for understanding the space required to accommodate the console setup within an entertainment center or on a shelf.
Understanding the Dimensions
While the console itself has its own dimensions, the "docked height" specifically accounts for the physical footprint when it is ready for TV mode. The Nintendo Switch Dock is designed to hold the console upright, connecting it to a television and power.
Here's a breakdown of the key dimensions, including the dock's individual measurements and the resulting total height when the Switch is docked:
| Component | Measurement (Inches) | Measurement (Millimeters) |
|---|---|---|
| Nintendo Switch Dock Height | 4.09" | 104 mm |
| Nintendo Switch Dock Width | 6.81" | 173 mm |
| Nintendo Switch Dock Depth | 2.12" | 53.8 mm |
| Total Docked Height | 4.88" | 124 mm |
It's important to note that the total docked height is slightly more than the dock's height itself because a portion of the Switch console extends above the top of the dock when inserted. This ensures the console is securely seated while providing access to its top-mounted buttons and cartridge slot.
