The switch pro controller will only pull .5A regardless of how many amps the charger can supply. Just make sure that the charging brick is 5v and not different and supplies at least .5A
Quick note: some console controllers have issues with power supplies that support “fast charging”. I’ve heard that feature can kill PS4 controller batteries so keep that in mind.
thanks for the informative video! i just bought a switch from my friend and was a little confused. so far im loving it!
Such a great machine. So many good games
I tried this, and I worked, you deserve a sub
Game on!
Yeah, I figured this out by experimenting with various cables, bricks and power banks. Some are charging faster, some slower, but I prefer thick Nintendo original USB-C cable in combination with Samsung Galaxy smartphone power brick, because of its compact size. Thanks for the video nonetheless. Now let´s play some Super Mario Galaxy.
YAS!!! Galaxy is awesomesauce
Yup. Depending on the watts and amps, performance will Vary. BUT, keep in mind, slower is better for your battery life. Galaxy…. yaaaaaaaas
You have Mario 3d all stars?
@@col7004 I don't, should I get it?
Wow this video helped so much thank you
Awesome. Thanks for taking the time to comment!
This video helped me out thanks!
Can you charge the pro controller with the switch charger that you got with the Nintendo switch?
Yep!
@@PLAYwithGregg how do u do that
@@PLAYwithGregg PLEASE REPLY IT WILL HELP SO MUCH
Ded 😂😂
I need this video about switch plate pro switch controller specifically, won’t charge and I don’t have a dock. When I plug in the controller to anything it doesn’t light up and can’t pair it
Nice work. Love the Switch
Me too!
I have only the controller, which I use to connect to my PC and play the games. Don’t have a Nintendo. Tried to charge my controller but have no idea is it charged or not… is there a way to view battery level of the controller without having a Nintendo?
The light on the top is on and I think red when charging. Switch pro battery lasts ages
I have same question bro. Have you found the answer?
RED till done charging
Ok but what about those PowerA Nintendo Switch Controllers? Does it work like the controller in this video?
Yes, they are all USB-C. Even if they aren't, just use the correct USB, such as MICRO-USB.
If my Motorola Charger charges my phone fast, would it charge the switch at the same rate?
It may. More Amp = faster charge
My original phone charger is 2 amps it's okay?
Yep
Bro thank You so much I was SO lost,because i have the NS lite and i need a controler for the super mario 3d all stars and idint knew if u can charge a controler withouth a Doc thank you so much,You deserve a sub
Awesome. Game On buddy!
I feel the same way I need a controller for Fortnite and don't have the money to buy the controller and the doc. Does this work the power A controller as well
@@Gwencassidy Yep. can charge the power A controller on it's own.
I have a question does using 5.0v = 3.0a safe is the mi charger safe?
Yep
So i use my switch charger for the pro controller or use the one from box
Either one will work. Any USB-C.
The cheap cable usb-C will not charger ur switch properly it will takes forever to charge and it might giving your switch some problem if you keep using it for a long time. cable with Power Delivery (PD) is needed! if you want to use 3rd party charger. Or if u can get nintendo usb-c is even more better because they already come with Power Delivery cable. However you can charger ur switch using 3rd party charger but at least get 2amp and usb-c cable with Power Delivery in it!
And cool video btw
I've used every cheap crappy USB-C cable you can imagine, since the launch of Switch, but yea, using a quality Cable should always be the goal. However, the BLOCK is the key item here. Cheap Blocks are a waste of time. A quality 2amp or better, for sure
anyone tried the 3amps 25watt fast charger on switch? was it safe to use? does it work on dock?
Yes
can you charge it from the PC?
Sure, but, some PC usb ports, don't put out 5v. Make sure yours does.
can I charge it with "both side USB-C" plug in tesla?
USB-C to USB-C would be better than USB-A to USB-C
There is risk of bricking the console?
Not at all. USB-C is USB-C. It'll either charger Faster, or slower, depending on your blocks Power rating.
why didnt the white cable charge the pro controller?
Thanks for the video, it helped
Welcome! Happy to help keep your Switch Alive!
@@PLAYwithGregg :)
I hear crackling in my original charger and want to use my regular phone charger, but i hear there is a possibility of bricking the switch. I just don’t know what to do.
NO, you'll be fine.
Woah it worked thanks!
You're welcome!
Can I use original switch lite charger(meaning with that power supply) to charge pro controller?
Can i use fast charger(that support 4.5V5A,5V4.5A,9V2A, 12V1.5A) USB cable to charge pro controller?
Switch Pro charger will be fine
Don’t change the voltage… that should never be more or less than 5v even if the total wattage is the same as a 5v .5A-2.4A charger. Fast charging isn’t supported by switch pro controllers and I’ve seen reports that it kills the battery on PS4 controllers.
except non of this works after new updates ,,Nintendo prioritized adapters ..not all will work with charging your switch...
Lol. Of course it does. I literally never charge my 2 Switch with Nintendo’s adapter
Bro this is nintendo not apple😂
can we connect it on tv with another type c
Only through the Dock, but YES, can use any USB Cable and a 2amp Block, on the dock
@@PLAYwithGregg dose ut need to be fully charged?
No. Just need power to the Dock
Can somone answer me
I got my switch awhile ago
And so I decided to charge it after I turned it off but when I put the charger in the screen turns on is that normal ?
Not really. Is it OFF, or asleep? Should stay off, if it’s off
@@PLAYwithGregg I don't know
I figured its a normal thing
Like if I turn it off and then put the charger in it turns on and let's me know it's charging
I'm kind of mad. My usb c cable that came with my switch was in my backpack and at my moms I was stupid to take it out of my backpack because i never got it back.
Bummer. No worries, USB-C chargers are common now. Grab a new one. :)
When I plug it in it won’t plug in
Elaborate??
my cable is not working
Most cables will work, but some are junk.
My pro controller don't have a charging hole what I do
All of them do. If it doesn't, it's not a real Nintendo Brand Pro Controller.
@@PLAYwithGregg yeah but it looks.like it came from Nintendo and it support nintedo
He is rambling and doesn’t talk about the actually charging until the end of the video
Quick heads up, "HE" Gives ZERO F*cks what you think of how "HE" Talks. Also, "HE" understands that 8min, is beyond your attention capacity, but, that's not his problem. P.S. His name is Gregg. It's literally in the channel name.
