Don't buy the official charger!

A phone charger and a generic C Cable work great! I'm using the exact same one I use for my phone. I bought some extra C Cables (5 for $19, I think) for at home use but you don't need the official product.

Really? How fast does it charge? Can you play and charge at the same time?

I was hesitant using a standart USB-charger because of the Switches 15V/2.6A specification. Powerbanks at 5V don't seem to really play nice with it either, so I thought I'd have to buy the official one. If c-cable + standart charger work, that's great news!

I was playing while plugged into my Google Pixel's USB C charger, and my system was at about 25% I think when I started on the charger. A couple of hours later when I was finished and was walking to put it back on the dock, I looked up at my battery and it was at 99%. So yes, you can charge much faster than you can drain, it's awesome!
