Well, it's necessary that you explain your situation when for the vast majority of people the obvious solution to this "problem" is to charge the Joy-cons while they are not playing the system. It's very easy to avoid paying an additional $30 for a different grip. It's really no hassle to avoid it.

You are making excuses for something that should not even be an issue or exist in 2017!!!! I shouldn't have to clarify anything when whats being discussed is an obvious no brainer ease of use feature.

That's exactly what I addressed in the rest of my previous comment. 

 

In order to get Nintendo 2 or 3 more dollars, you need to adapt the way you use your product and be careful of doing one more step everytime you use it. And if you don't carefully do this step everytime you play, you might not be able to play the next time. All of this for a couple of dollars, when all the competition does it, and even Nintendo makes other production lines for the real full product. 

 

It's bad design and the opposite of consumer friendly. As an engineer, it pains me to see such a wrong practice being defended, when it would be refused in a few minutes in 90% of workgroups (and should be in 100%). It's student's project level, when your teacher sets a maximum price, you can't respect that price, so you delete the first feature you find to decrease the cost and say "Oh, the customer himself will do what this feature should".

Exactly this!!! And they are making excuses for them.

LOL! Master of spin.

That doesn't change the fact they went out of their way to produce two different versions of that grip and chose to include the usb port-less one.

Thank you, as i have said.... none of this would have been an issue if they didn't actually make a grip that does this very thing. That means they knew it was important, they took the time to make it. They just decided that their fans or consumers wouldn't mind to pay an additional $30 for it so they took it out of the box and gave us what they gave us instead. And looking at this thread, I see exactly why they do shit like this. Just look at what there fans are saying.

The funny thing is, the USB less grip wasnt put in the box to save consumers money. It was put in the box instead so they could make a seperate grip with usb charging to make more money outta consumers. Yet A lot here are defending such a thing.
