- The Switch is not USB-C compliant, and overdraws some USB-PD power supplies by 300%
- AVOID using the Apple 87w or Anker PowerPort 5+ chargers with the Nintendo Switch tablet itself, or with the Dock
- Nintendo Switch and Dock are chock full of USB-C protocol errors and flaws
- If your Switch bugs out, it will refuse to charge with anything until it is hard-rebooted
- Apple 61w adapter, due to its nonstandard voltages, exposes some very untoward behavior with the Nintendo Switch dock. You'll get a 'Use OEM adapter' killscreen
tl;dr: non-compliant, charger / dock DRM
