One of the Customer Service women has brought their daughter into work today. Last time she was in I tried plugging her switch into one of the computer docks to play on one of the monitors. It didn’t work, I don’t know if it’s Nintendo or Dell’s fault but that’s bullshit

You need a switch dock to play on a screen (it comes with one).

Unless it’s a lite, then there’s no additional video out.

  I wanted to check if it would work with any USB-C dock. I guess it only works with the switch one. I might mention that about the dock to the mum tomorrow

    Ooof be careful. A lot of switches got fried by aftermarket docks back in the day, they use specific voltage

    It straight up didn’t work and she’s brought it in since. It’s more that I could bring something like the Bazztop in and it would just work with any of the docks, but the switch needs its own shit to be able to run. I thought USB-C was meant to be a universal standard
