  I had one Nintendo Switch fry itself when plugged into a non-nintendo USB C connection, so I wouldn’t risk it.

  I learned the hard way that the switch is apparently notoriously picky about it’s chargers.

    The nintendo switch came out at the cusp of the switch to USB C, and before USB PD was fully hammered down, so it uses a weird custom/old version.

    This is on Nintendo for not updating the standard on newer models, incorporating the old standard to make older peripherals work, and include rock-solid overvolt.

      USB-PD was very much “hammered down” in 2017. USB-PD 3.0 was introduced in 2015.
