Compatibility & Usage

• It works with both the Nintendo Switch 2 system and the Nintendo Switch 2 dock—ideal for power needs across modes.  
• Due to its 60 W output, it’s suitable for docked mode, where higher power is required. In comparison, the original Nintendo Switch adapter had lower output and cannot power the Switch 2 docked mode effectively.  

Additional Insights

• A technical teardown confirms that the adapter supports USB‑C Power Delivery (PD) 3.0 and can power not only the Switch 2 but also phones, tablets, and lightweight laptops—thanks to its detachable design and versatile power range.  
• User discussions mention the adapter’s enhanced power: “It’s 60 W dock input and 42 W handheld/output by the dock,” compared to the original which provided “39 W dock input and 18 W handheld/output.”
