The nerd in me is curious about the USB-C charger. Presumably this isn’t USB-C Power Delivery? Assuming 5V, how many MAh do I need in my external battery to run for an hour? How much power does this thing need?
Also, do the JoyCon run out of batteries at a much slower rate like a regular console controller? Presumably they charge when connected to the screen?
- bicubic 10y agoThe USB 3.1 spec isn't restricted to 5V. The charger can deliver up to 100W and the voltage can be negotiated between the charger and device.
- jhugg 10y agoRight, that's the USB Power Delivery (PD) spec and to get more than 5V, both sides (charger & device) need to support it. I'm guessing (no real idea) that the switch is vanilla 5V like most phones and tablets. Wouldn't mind being wrong.
