Originally, didn't think I needed this type of cable. Have a bunch of type-C cables and 12V to USB adapters. The problem is the cables were only about 2'-3' (60cm-90cm) and wouldn't reach from the outlet to the Switch (attached to an arm connected to the headrest of the front passenger seat of a Jeep Grand Cherokee). I got a 6' (2m) cable and it worked for a bit, but it was pretty thick. I spent over $20 for that cable and it was a little too long and kept getting caught between the seat. I had a thin one where the Switch just wouldn't recognize it being connected. I took up the courage and got the Power A charger. The length and weight were nearly perfect. I had some cable wraps, that I used for the thick cable, to help guide the cable to the Switch. Moving the seat forward and back did not over stretch the cable and didn't leave a large excess that kept getting caught. The cable is a woven cloth casing, instead of rubber or plastic. Very durable.

Not much to say about this one. It's a stand that charges Joy Con controllers for the switch. I got a new switch for my 6 year old for his birthday/christmas, and I have young kids. This thing is great for them, as we have 4 joy cons, and mostly play the switch on the TV at this point. As opposed to have to connect the various joycons up to the actual console which is under the tv in a cabinet, this lets them connect them easily to another place, and you don't have to push the release button on the back to get them off the stand. Much easier for younger kids. It is worth the money to make charging controllers easier.

Unlike most of the other options, this is an "official" Nintendo product and it looks and feels like quality. I originally went with another product that has transparent bars that light up but it seemed flimsy and the bars are way too bright, enough to light up Cell Block B, and are on all the time regardless of if anything is plugged into them. The PowerA one gives you red when charging, green when 100% and off when you have nothing plugged in and the LEDs aren't bright enough to be noticeable.

This charger doubles as a storage device. A while back I went wild and bought all combinations of neon Joy-Cons. Keeping them charged and organized quickly became an issue. This charging dock takes care of both issues, and I can charge up 4 at a time on it. To keep the Joy-Cons from overcharging, I just unplug the dock (just in case) and keep it as a storage rack. 2 more Joy-Cons charge with the Switch, and the other 2 are stored with the Joy-Con Grip (not charging).

In the attached image you can see the 4 Joy-cons with the dock sitting next to the TV on the TV stand. It doesn't take a lot of space and keeps things tidy so I'm happy.

This charging doc makes sure there is always a pair of game controllers ready for use. It keeps an extra set of of controllers charging as you use the other set. When the front set must be recharged, the back pair is ready for continued playing. It's made a big difference in our house. No more game-breaks while waiting for the controllers to recharge! Nice.

Operation is simple. Each controller has its own light. It shows red when charging and green when ready for use. If connected to the Switch dock it will respond to the dock with its lights.

The base is weighted making it stable. The package includes a cable to plug it into the Switch dock unit for power.

With this accessory, there will always be a charged and ready-to-go controller. It's simple to set up and just as easy to use.
