- MAGZine 5y agothis is literally the problem with any specification then, because there is nothing stopping anyone from not following the specification for a particular port and just doing whatever the fuck they want. I could hook a lightning cable up to a car battery, and you'd blame the connector.
- jeroenhd 5y agoIf it bears the USB logo, the charger should be standards compliant. The switch charger will charge your devices just fine. The switch console, however, has a non-compliant USB port, which can be damaged when hooked up to a standard USB-PD charger; the pins can get mechanically shorted. Blame Nintendo for that one.
- Closi 5y agoHasn’t done anything like this yet, it works perfect. I’ve charged my MacBook with all sorts of USB-C chargers with no issues, including from USB power banks (I was never able to charge my laptop from a standard portable external battery before usb-c!).
