Nintendo Switch Adjustable Charging Stand - Switch

C passthrough, no docking, a little flimsy, and overpriced for what it does This stand should have more features than just a Big N logo and relocating the charging port for $20. br>br>The USB-C port This unit's C connectors don't have all of the pins wired for a dock passthrough, so it's only getting power. If you use a USB-based extension, A C cable connects your Switch's dock to a female USB port. When you plug your Switch into the C port on this stand, it will black out the screen and put it in docked mode, but your dock will not be able to output video. Bypass this stand and plug that extension cable into your Switch, and voila, it's back in docked mode, but now properly outputting video, with the added benefit of being able to choose whether to use a third-party stand or just lay it flat. br>br>In terms of construction, it's flimsy and incredibly light. It will almost certainly require double-sided tape to secure it to a surface. sided tape to keep it from being lifted away or tilted forward/backward by the weight of the charging cable when it's not in use. br>br>The other issue is charging the Switch reliably with this stand. br>There are three options:
1. When you want to plug in the unit, unplug the power cable from your dock.
2. Use a USB wall wart that can output a sufficient amount of voltage and amps to charge and possibly play simultaneously as a bonusbr>3. Purchase a new official Nintendo charger for $30. br>br>If you choose option 3, you will spend a total of $50 for a mediocre experience. br>br>I'm sure Nintendo doesn't want to encourage the use of third-party accessories to improve their customers' experiences (and I'm sure they'd rather charge even more than the price of this stand for you to be able to have an easier dock connection), but it should have taken no extra effort and cost them pennies per unit to simply make this a fully pinned-down stand. out USB- C is a passthrough character. br>br>I'd gladly pay $30 for a charging stand with a rocker switch that could switch from charging to dock passthrough mode. However, if you can get one for $10 or less with an official charger, go for it. It just feels like a ripoff at this price point.

The charging port is located on the side of the stand, which means that when you play the switch while charging, the cord does not hang out the bottom, and the product itself is light enough that it is barely noticeable. I also appreciate how well-built the kickstand is. Because I prefer to play the switch in handheld mode rather than tv mode, I can simply place the stand on the nightstand and dock my switch in it when I'm done playing for the night. I actually bought another powercord because I like to keep the one that came with my switch permanently attached to the dock on my nightstand! The photo I included is of the switch docked in the stand on my nightstand.

Definitely my fault; I took a chance and ordered this without thoroughly inspecting the layout and contents. I use it at work, but there are a few quirks worth mentioning. Advantages: br>br> br> Nintendo branded (I know, I'm a nerd. ) Most cases will fit if the back notch is cut out, but this isn't always the case. br>br>Oddities: It's very small. It does not come with a power cable (which may be a good thing for most people)br> br> The power is connected to the side, rather than the back or another location. Because it's so small, if you accidentally pull on the power cable, it rotates the entire switch. br>br>I didn't give it any cons because I didn't do any research into what this thing was, but I was pleasantly surprised with what I received. If you need a small Nintendo-branded dock for a bedroom or office, look for it used or when it's on sale.

It was exactly what I was looking for. Exactly what I was looking for in terms of a great charging stand for my nightstand as well as a small portable stand with varying angles that could charge while I was playing. I expected it to be a little smaller, but it's sturdy and well-made. Dropping the Switch in is a breeze thanks to the guide notch behind the charging port. Despite the fact that it is smaller than I anticipated, I appreciate the size for its portability, which is the Switch's main selling point. Nintendo should make this a standard feature in the future. Highly recommended. br>br>.

br>I thought I did, so I bought it, only to discover that I didn't. br>br>Nintendo is the king of this, selling you snazzy, high-end accessories that you don't really need. br>br>If the battery on your Switch is running low, it's probably time to break it down and charge it.

Okay, I'm going to tell you right up front that there is no cord in there, so you'll have to either disconnect your power cord from your switch or buy a new power cord to use this thing. This is an issue that needs to be addressed right away. There's no reason why they couldn't have raised the price a little to include the charge cord; it's kind of annoying because I have my cord plugged into a place that's not easily accessible, which means I have to move a bunch of stuff out of the way every single time to get to it, and then I have to dig even more stuff out when I go back to my dock and plug it back in. They could have included a charger for the price, in my opinion.

At a reasonable price, this is an excellent product. It has a slim and compact design that fits easily into a slim bag or accessory pocket. It has a solid feel to it and is constructed of higher-quality plastics. It also has a secure rubber grip and an adjustable angle. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, this gives you access to the official Nintendo NON-PROMOTIONAL version of the game. USB STANDARD - c protocols to keep your Switch up and running. If you're not familiar with USB, it's a device that connects to a computer via a The Nintendo Switch's C protocols don't "get along" with third-party products, which could be linked to the third-party accessory bricking issues we saw a few months ago.
