It would be if the different protocols didn’t have the same baseline power specifications and require negotiation between controllers to supply anything else. This is generally the case across everything sharing the type-C connector, though occasionally you will see a company make the terrible decision of trying to pass off their out-of-spec implementation as a “proprietary port,” as Nintendo did with the Switch.
- rkangel 7y agoIs there something special about the USB-C connector on the Switch?
- Miraste 7y agoIt's slightly off-spec in some odd ways: https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2019/08/heres-why-nintendo-switch-consoles-keep-frying/?comments=1&unread=1 https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2019/08/heres-why-nintendo-sw...
- Dylan16807 7y agoThere were some slightly off-spec things in current draw but none of that is relevant to the article you linked. That pin is supposed to use data signals of less than two volts. The nyko charger uses nine volts. The switch has no over-voltage protection on that pin, and breaks at more than six volts. The part about a slightly thinner plug isn't relevant at all.
