What's going on boys and girls what's up world Austin John plays here and today
I'm here to answer a question that a lot of you people have asked what happens
when you dock a switch light now it goes without saying that one of the reasons
that the Nintendo switch light is a hundred sheep er than the Nintendo
switch is you don't have the removable joi cons and on top of that you can't
dock it this is my switch v2 that I'm eventually gonna start using but for now
it stays in the box when unboxing the Nintendo switch light
I came across a very interesting discovery nevertheless and that the
power brick from the Nintendo switch and the Nintendo switch v2 versus the
Nintendo switch light is the exact same it has the same input the same output
same wattage same voltage same everything the only difference is the
country it's made in and the font that's used not a joke why does it use the same
cable well why wouldn't it it plugs in and it charges no problem why go ahead
and make a completely different cable for it right we're gonna go ahead and
plug in a dock with HDMI and power cool for starters this is pretty much the
same size however you're gonna notice that these things this joystick lands
where the screen lands and because of that it's not gonna fit in this dock so
if I were to go ahead here and take my Nintendo switch my regular one and put
it in the dock boom it was a little discolored but there it is now the
Nintendo switch lights cannot fit in a Nintendo switch dock it just can't
happen I feel like that's kind of intentional so you can't take this and
try to shove it in there makes a lot of sense right by no means should you use a
third-party dock because they're questionable on if they could explode
your Nintendo switch when it converts out the HDMI and stuff like that
although for just charging reasons that's fine just not when there's power
to the TV or something I don't know the details Bob explained it better than I
did the weird part here is if you look at the back of the Nintendo switch we
clearly see right where my thumb is that little that little alcove that it's used
to fit into the USB see the dock and on the switch light that's
also present I thought that would have been removed it would make sense for
them to remove that because it can't dock many many moons ago I decided to
take a part in Nintendo switch dock which we're not doing in this video and
put it into this this right here is a shell of all the original internal
workings of the dock but much much smaller it's like a dock light if you
will so if we were going ahead plug in the power plug in the HDMI plug in a
Nintendo switch and a appears on screen and with the switch light we could take
it put it in the dock
and you'll see that it does not go out to HDMI but it does charge the battery
that is what happens if you try to dock a Nintendo switch and you might think to
yourself they took out the video functionality so now all this thing can
do that little USB C port right there all that can do is just charge the
switch that's where you're wrong this USB C port still has all of the same
functionality as far as data transfer just with the video out now lacking what
I mean by that is if you were to go ahead and get a USBC adapter like this
one from a MacBook that goes out to power HDMI and USB I need you to plug it
into the bottom I need to plug in a USB controller or I'm gonna take my super
short USBC cable and plug in this pro controller it immediately paired because
it's connecting through data if you were to take this massive arcade pad take out
the USB cable plug it into the adapter and the adapter to the Nintendo switch
you would be able to control your Nintendo switch with this arcade stick
and on top of that since it has the power in option if we plug in the power
oh well that doesn't work because if we do that with a regular switch does that
work oh that doesn't give us a power so if you want to plug in a Wii U or switch
to GameCube controller adapter you could totally do that and then play on your
switch light this isn't the switch on your switch light Super Smash Brothers
ultimate using your GameCube controllers you could totally choose to do that
there is still some functionality to this port down here other than just
charging any USB devices plug in just fine and there you go that's what
happens if you try to dock a Nintendo switch light why did I make this video
cuz someone's gonna wonder it and they're gonna think that they're gonna
break their switch so instead though google it and boom now you have your
answer don't break your switch thanks so much for checking out this video leave a
