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.

It’s not about the adapter, but how the switch manages power in docked mode. So any power adapter is fine, but when docked is when you are concerned. Also, there are several dock cases out there that you can transplant the chip inside the official dock into if you really want a smaller one.
