An organization named Fastsnail has received the race in relation to making a Joy-Con charging accent that’s higher than Nintendo’s and some other third-party maker. Its charging dock can cost the Joy-Con for the unique Switch and for the Switch 2. Each charging port can accommodate both the rail-based charging connector of the Switch, or the proprietary connector of the Switch 2 mannequin (it’s not magnetized; the Joy-Con 2’s charging port matches onto the dock’s connector). Compared to Nintendo’s $30 Joy-Con charger, which might solely cost two Switch 1 controllers at a time, this can be a smarter buy. Normally $24.99, it’s now $19.99 at Amazon.
I’ve had my arms on this charger lately, and it really works as marketed. It features a USB-C to USB-A cable for plugging into your Switch’s dock. The LEDs point out when a related Joy-Con is charging (by turning orange) or not in want of a cost (by displaying a blue mild). A touch-activated button switches the Fastsnail charging dock on or off. I’ve seen that the dock’s vivid blue LEDs will activate by themselves generally with out Joy-Con connected, so preserve that in thoughts in the event you intend to make use of it in the identical room you sleep in.
