Johnny P wrote in about my wife's Etsy shop. — Hi RJS,

I will save you from shamelessly promoting your wife’s etc shop. I am more than 100% satisfied. I have had an awesome doc sock for months now and still love it. It is the best switch accessory I own.

PS: I had a slight custom request, no problem just let them know what you want.

Thanks again for the sock

"The Switch is not USB-C compliant, and overdraws some USB-PD power supplies by 300%" by Nathan K(Links in description) : NintendoSwitch — "The +Nintendo Switch Dock #USB #TypeC power supply is not USB-PD spec compliant. As a result it does not "play nice" with other #USBC devices. This means you should strongly consider only using the Nintendo Switch Dock adapter only with the Nintendo Switch (and Dock).

Additionally, it also seems the Nintendo Switch Dock does not "play nice" with other USB-PD chargers. This means you're forced to use a Nintendo-brand power supply."

Nintendo Comments On Third-Party Docks Bricking Switch Systems - Nintendo Life — Nintendo (recommends) that Switch owners only buy officially licensed Switch products . . . Unlicensed products and accessories do not undergo Nintendo’s testing and evaluation process. They might not work at all with our game systems, and they could have compatibility problems with certain games, the Nintendo Switch system itself, and other licensed accessories and peripherals.

“(Nyko is) aware of the issue some Portable Docking Kit owners are facing after updating the firmware on their Nintendo Switch to version 5.0. Though further testing is still required to determine the exact root cause of the problem, we believe it is related to the way the Switch handles AV output for an external TV/monitor while the console is docked on the Portable Docking Kit.”
