Nintendo designed the Switch with many technical inconveniences, one of the biggest of which are how the device charges. Even though the Switch has a USB-C port, it can't be safely charged with any USB-C cable. You could technically charge the Switch with any USB-C cable , but it doesn't come without the risk of damaging your system even though the USB-C port on the Switch could fit all USB-C cables. Nintendo even warns you about the dangers of not using their proprietary charger to charge your Switch. That means you have no choice to buy this charger if you lost the one that came with your Switch. To make matters worse, you can't plug this charger on any USB-C port to charge your Switch via USB because it only plugs on the wall. It sucks that you have to pay $35 for a charger that is limited to charging through wall outlets, even though you can easily buy USB-C cables that are two times cheaper without being restricted to walls. The only reason why I'm not giving this item less than 3 Stars is because the Nintendo Switch is an old system that released all the way back in 2017, so I can't set my expectations too high. It is Nintendo's fault for not designing the Switch to safely charge on all USB-C cables that match the Switch's USB port.

I just had to return my new AC Adaptor after only 3 days. I spent more time waiting on the product than I did actually getting to use it.

After 2 days, it just suddenly stopped charging my Switch. I noticed the problem on the third day when I saw that the battery was still at 28% after leaving it on the Switch dock all night. I made sure to check the charger in different plugs as well as other Type-C items, and I made sure to check my Switch on a different Type-C cable.

I can't help but feel this was a used item, because it did not come in its sealed box when I got it.

I thought I bought a NEW AC Apdator for my switch. What I got was an envelope with just a cord, no normal nintendo boxing like do on every brand new product, just a REFURBISHED CORD. I can tell by the scratches and sticky spots! Based on others, 1 Star reviews were all experiencing the same thing. Hope you don't get duped!

this was an excellent purchase. I bought a Switch second hand and it didnt come with the adapter. none of my phone cords registered with the dock so i had to look for the original cable. i didnt like the thought of paying this much for a cable and having it not work but it does work and now I feel its definitely worth the price. much better buying the real thing than buying a knockoff that doesnt work. if youre curious like i was, it DOES have the Nintendo logo and it IS the legit thing. not knock off like i feared.
