Have they updated the firmware so that the Switch runs faster and draws more power or some other performance change, faster charging or something? I don't have a Switch but intend to buy one at some point and will be looking to share one switch console with a dock both downstairs and upstairs, the Nintendo dock seems grossly overpriced for what it is. |
Well if you read Shiken's response on the non standard usb-c requirements Nintendo used to safely charge and not damage the console, perhaps they added some checks to ensure the dock stays in those limits. So any dock outside spec will not work and dock within spec will as indicated not all 3rd party docks have stopped working. To me that is reasonable approach to take to protect the Switch.
