Nintendo Switch

Found another use for the top USB-C port!



Just discovered you can plug a fan in the switch 2s top USB-C port to cool off on a warm summer day ☀️

  1. Just know that those things have been known to do bad things to iPhones in the past.

  2. ActualTechLead

    Honestly this is the kind of whacky shit I expect Nintendo to release as first party devices for the top usb port.

  3. ChaosNomad

    This is giving me old school wormlight vibes

  4. ChainingEnds

    Takes me back to adding that lamp accessory to the GBC. I felt like a king being able to play at night.

    I’m not old, you’re old.

  5. Nintendblow Switch Blew…I’m a fan. 🤣

    *I’ll see myself out*

    Love the smell of hot computer exhaust blasted right to the face

  7. Wardysays

    It’s a heatwave in the UK, I needed to see this!

    Nintendo has enter the chat.

    Your S2 is now banned.

    It seems like a joke but it’s hot enough that i’d actually try this

    I stared at that imagine wondering what on earth that was until I read the actual post. That’s amazing lmfao

    Here I was looking at your photo, confused why you use a transparent highlighter to scribble on top of your blue accessory haha. A fan is such a fun thing to plug in, that’s so nice

    If this were r/SteamDeck that fan would be used to blow the delicious exhaust fumes in your face.

    Nintendo brick for unauthorized cooling incoming 💔💔

  14. The top USB port is a GOAT idea!! I love it so much. 

  15. Same-Winner-5967

    New to switch, but it seems like you got plenty of users on your NS2. Just curious, any advantages/disadvantages?

  16. Impossible_Leg_2787

    Be careful, these used to brick phones all the time. It just draws unregulated voltage until something burns out, hope it’s the fan.

    You Sir/Madam/Non-Binary, are a genius

    While I’d have no problems plugging this into a charger, I wouldn’t plug this into a device even though it technically works. The USB chip isn’t designed to handle a load like this and the chances you’ll damage it are quite high.

  19. Pretty sure this will reduce the battery to about 45 minutes

  20. No-Rule-5631

    How much battery usage does this take up though?

  21. I’d unironically buy a USB fan that speeds up or slows down based on how fast you’re accelerating in a racing game. I had that thought earlier this week while I was playing a racing game on my PC with a wheel lol

  22. Northernshitshow

    Haha this Reddit has so many good Nintendoesque ideas…

    “Unauthorized use of third party device. Your device is now bricked.”

    So if the bottom one is for power in, and the top one is for power out, has anyone tried just connecting the two to give the system infinite handheld-mode battery life?

  25. Icy_Preparation_6334

    Cool idea but that short battery life just got even shorter!

  26. Ornery-Prune2913

    At first it looked like a tiny blue penis to me.

  27. Successful_Potato560

    That battery life is going to last about 15 minutes with that thing plugged in. 😭

  28. ZeldaHyrule_

    Should get the battery life down to 10 minutes

  29. Zeraora807

    i never liked these, i remember having them around when microUSB was the thing and these fans had insane vibration.. on the worst port in existence

    lotta repairs

    Rip battery life..
    Source: took it on a camping trip and went from 90% to low 20s in a couple hours. Had to buy a special 60v ac adapter as nothing else would charge it properly

  31. SomeSortaWeeb

    just to warn you, the batteries of mobile devices typically arent designed to discharge via their charging ports so things like these tend to damage them

  32. HumpaDaBear

    For a second I thought it was one of those old lights for Gameboys.

  33. Chompsky___Honk

    As if the battery wasn’t short enough ..
