There was a minor scandal a couple years ago where Nintendo's Switch console didn't implement the standard properly, and as a result some third-party docks were sending too much voltage and frying people's consoles
- stormbrew 5y agoIt was actually the docks that were the problem, not the switch. The switch just has a standard USB-C PD controller in it, the docs had hacked together bs. Also, the official dock only supports 15V PD apparently, which most laptop chargers apparently don't supply, so that's why you pretty much need to use their charge cable with it. https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/comments/ckaiiv/an_engineers_pov_on_the_3rd_party_dock_switch/ https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/comments/ckaiiv/an_e...
